I had one customer who told me "but the pump shaft still turns!" Ya, but its not putting out any oil! Then he says " I think you just want to sell me a new pump!" I said, that's EXACTLY what I want to do! lol..

People can be funny, I like the customers that just drop stuff off and say "make it work again" which is most of them. The problem customers think they know what needs to happen but don't know how to fix it themselves...which means they really don't know what needs to happen.

Thanks Scott for another great repair video. You sound like you have a cold or allergies, hope you feel better soon

Yep, this is a pretty basic saw.

I had the same problem on my saw, it is almost new. No oil. I took the cover, bar, and chain off. Started it up, was pumping oil just fine. It ended up being a dirty cover. After I cleaned it that fixed the problem. Thanks for taking the time to post this video.

New sub. Thanks for the replacement info. There's also an adjustment screw on the bottom. Thetes a Pic of an oil drop with a + and - in the plastic. I think the screw may have fell out of mine. I put on a longer bar n want more oil.

Its annoying that they have that adjustment symbol stamped in there. That saw doesn't come with an adjustable oiler. The good news is that there isn't a missing screw in your oil pump.

I have a new craftsman s180, I have good air, spark and fuel, i can get it to fire and then run for 5 sec or so and then it will die like it’s not getting gas anymore. Any ideas?

If its brand new it may need a carb adjustment. If you can, open the high and low speed adjustments on the carb 1/4 turn or so and see if you get a change.

So do you tell owner the backing plate needs to be replaced soon or did you reshape it?

I ordered one and told him we would call when it came in. Many times the project date has been planned ahead with equipment rentals and gathering help. When the saw doesn't work they panic and we do our best to get them back into the wood. Realistically I can do it in minutes while he waits.

Hi Scott, I have question, I just want to compare between Husqvarna and Stihl chainsaw which one do you recommend pls Thanks

Honestly, I'd say it often comes down to user preference. I prefer Husqvarna just for ergonomic reasons. Performance wise, If you compare a good Husky with a Good Stihl model, they generally tend to be identical. A big factor for most people should be what kind of dealer support do you have in your area. That will often affect the choice for most people.

I like husk and stihl, they both top brands, Stihl is number one for top quality, but husk revs and cut faster than stihl.

So which Husqvarna should I buy, I am looking for Pro model for home

Hey Scott, it is Bruce here. I just wanted to get advice for my Husqvarna 562XPG chainsaw. I am relatively new at owning a chainsaw. I also own a 435 Husqvarna chainsaw too. About storage for winter. Both saws have only been used with official Husqvarna Xp + 95 octane ethanol free canned fuel. It is all I buy or will run in them. Warranty extension on 3 litre purchase of saws. Had a stihl before and ran pump fuel and noticed a difference in power with better fuel. Should I drain that fuel out and run them dry or leave fuel in them and just start them once a month. I do not want the metering diaphragms to become stiff or have a carb rebuild. The 562xpg as you know uses autotune and the 435 is a regular carburetor. Both saws are just passed break-in with about 10 - 15 tanks of refills. Thanks, I have no idea what is best, still noobish. But they are as clean as the day I bought them.
