Husqvarna 455 Chainsaw Not Oiling...Fixed!
Customer complaint is that the saw is not oiling. We confirm that and I show you how I repaired it. Along the way we discover clutch problems and I show you how to replace the clutch. #smallenginerepair

Thank you Scott for your spot on instruction for this fix, you made it super easy for me to do this repair. I watched this vid two times and went to the shop and tore into it and now the old 455 Rancher is oiling just like she used to. You sir saved me a bunch of time and money, I appreciate it. Thanks again.😎👍🏻

Thanks for the video. This saw has been great for around the house. Husq has been good to me.

She’s Oiling Now 😀 Nice Find 😊👍🏼It Amazes Me How Micro Pieces of Saw Dust Get Past The Oil Tank Filter and Make There Way Between The Pump and Line or In The Bottom of The Pump Itself

Nice work on the 455 oiler. That impact is a big timesaver to removing the clutch it beats using the rope in the cylinder

It really is. Some people have claimed that they've sheared the flywheel key doing it this way so beware. I've never had a problem using it.

My chainsaw hasnt been on for at least 5 years; the oil pump was stuck and its teeth eaten up. 12eur later for a new pump fixed it and is now good as new.

So what gets in there and clogs it, saw dust? Nice job on the fix

Whatever debris is clinging around the fill cap. A paint brush might be a good thing to carry in your saw case. Debris could be wiped away before the cap is removed.
Awesome troubleshooting. What if you have to replace the line from the tank due to the saw just keeps loosing oil? Do you have a video of the teardown and replacement?

I like this saw over some other new saws, but they are still a pain in the ass to take apart, and its just ridiculous that such a small amount of sawdust can clog the entire system. I've used the 455 for 4 years and its powerful, works fine, but my Sachs Dolmar 111 is over 30 years old and has never had a problem with the oiler, even if it did I wouldn't have to take the clutch off to replace it. Shows you how things have changed, that being said, I've had the pullcord system on most of my vintage saws fail multiple times, mostly due to bad design. The Husky and all my new saws have never had pull cord problems which saves me a lot of time on repairs

Yep, sometimes things improve and other times we long for the good ole days.
People are lucky your honest. Is it bad design or people? Recommend low pressure for the tank? Great job. Take care.

I was surprised to find a clean tank and now I'm wondering if the owner cleaned it in an effort to fix the problem? My air hose is regulated way down below tank pressure but its still higher than what I should have been pusing in that oil tank. I should have made some statement about "do as I say, not as I do" but in the end it all worked out.

Have you crossed anything off the list yet? How is the compression and is the cylinder scored?

@@TheGreasyShopRag idk brotha, i bought it and blew out the filter and cleaned up the top, havent gotten deeper into it, when it runs, it runs like a champ. Just has a hard time turning back on quickly. My mazda rx8 had the same problem but i dont think its similar, idk why it would start and run perfect then not wanna start after, to me the cylinder should be fine bc it runs perfectly when it does run, wierd. Should i go to a small engine mechanic? Or what should i try first bro? Maybe carburetor?

@@graysonquenelle Certainly there are many possibilities why it won't restart but on a concrete saw I always suspect low compression. They have so much potential to suck in dirt and wear out that I always check that first.

@@TheGreasyShopRag It sounds like the connecting rod bearings are finished. You might as well tear it down and replace the parts or get a new saw, I had a similar problem with a weed wacker that was easily fixed with some spare parts I had lying around Same issue with a brand new Poulan 4218 I bought in 2020, it ran for a couple of months then it would consistently turn off after 5mins of use, there isn't even anything wrong with the piston, its just very cheap and temperamental. Sometimes the saw is poorly designed or may have a defect so it ends up having a lot of issues that aren't worth dealing with. I realized this when I bought a vintage 70s Homelite XL with a completely scored piston, the surprising part, it runs 10 times better than my 2020 Poulan does. Those Homelite saws are practically indestructible, I have an XL2 from the same era that runs even better, again, with a scored piston. I have at least 5 box store saws from the early 2000s with no scoring on the pistons, I tore them down and cleaned them, but for some reason they wont start or refuse to stay running. Probably have worn out bearings as well but they are not worth fixing
Cool
Thank you master
