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.😎👍🏻

    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

    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.

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.

    ​@@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
