Impossible Husqvarna Rebuild Part 2 of 2

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this final installment, Dean, an admitted novice at chainsaw repair, is challenged with reassembly of the newly cleaned box of parts and the replacement items he ordered for the Husqvarna 455 Rancher chainsaw. This, due to the owner's running straight gasoline through the saw and the ensuing destruction of the cylinder, piston and ring.
Kudos to Matthew Olson videos for the inspiration.

    typically assembly videos are dark, dirty and dingy and even then you can't see anything because their hand is in the way then this video comes along I am blown away with your clarity and attention to detail, lighting, music, commentary and just as important getting the right angle shot so we can all see what your doing. You got my vote for best in class chainsaw repair help videos. Class Act!

    Hi Dean, replaced all the lines and purge bulb on my rancher and after giving the carb a clean too, it runs great. Starts on choke from cold and idles nicely. Your video was so helpful. I ordered an impulse line, but ended up not replacing the existing one since it was a bit fiddly and machine is running well. Thanks again.

    Great video ! A number of years back a tree fell on my saw breaking the case and fuel cap, the dealer said it wasn’t worth fixing to throw it away and get another saw . Well after a few years I could afford a new saw but I didn’t throw away my old one. After watching your video I think I will try and replace the fuel tank which is part of the case and if it works I have a new saw that was less than 6 months old when I dropped a tree on it. Even if it dose t work I have learned by watching you work on the saw. Good work !

    Sir, probably the best chainsaw video I've seen. I've been using and doing minor repairs on chainsaws for over 30 years. currently own 5. I need to do some bigger repairs on my 346xp, and much of this looks relevant. Like a few others I grimaced to see wd-40 as your go to lubricant, but looks like you've been willing to learn from some of the comments as well. kudos. Can't imagine how much more time it took you to make the video than if you had just done the repair, but good work. replacing fuel filters, clutch and sprocket, and bar oil hoses (and the occasional pump) are all great for home owner to learn, and your explanations are clear and helpful. cheers. subscribing to your channel just in case you tackle a different project of interest to me for the quality of your videos alone...

    Yeah, unlike yourself, I'm no chainsaw expert. As such, the WD-40 got by me. But thanks for the video production comments. I tell my wife it takes me 3 times longer to do the repairs due to camera and lighting set up. Just as a point of conversation, I had 24 hours of video from multiple cameras to pare down for this project and the editing took weeks as this is not my day job. Nevertheless; the comments I get from good people like yourself make it worth it. I 'do' have some more projects in the 'can' including a 'Husky' weed eater and Stihl chainsaw rebuild that are coming in the next few weeks. Hope something else I do can help. I realize my topics are broad, but this channel started because these were the projects I was doing around the house and I decided to just cut the camera on and help someone else. BTW: When you have time, wish you would check out the Impossible Husqvarna Rebuild-Parts 1 and 2 videos and see what you think.

I vowed to do my best at always questioning myself at what a user needs to see and what they need to know to perform this work. On top of that, I pledge to always do my best to keep a steady camera and well lit scene.

    Excellent video. To replace the aft bar bolt you need to remove the muffler, tap the bolt out, and fish it out. To replace the forward bar bolt you need to tap it out through the bar oil reservoir tank. You will not be able to see the bolt head inside the tank. A sharp rap with a hammer will punch the bolt through the wall of the tank. You will remove the bolt and a piece of breakaway plastic. Husqvarna states to just replace the bolt. I used a dab of silicone. Make sure you square the bolt head with the recess it fits in. So far no leaks and it has been in place for about a month. It is unlikely that shops will stock the bolts

    I've gone through numerous videos and have yet to see the connecting of the fuel vent line to upper purge bulb receptor tube. I bought a bulb because it cracked over time and prevented the chainsaw from running more than a few seconds at most. When I received it luckily I order the whole kit with fuel lines, purge lines, air & fuel filter and spark plug. When I disconnected the lines on the old purge bulb they broke one at a time. I simply saw them with fuel now at the base next to each other out of reach. So after pulling out the carburetor the long purge line fellow out. Now I have no way of knowing where it came from and even worse the other line broke off from its connection end. I would guess the longer line that went into the upper longer tube to the bulb actually goes to the whole behing where the black fuel line cones out of and the shorter line connecting between the short tube receptor on the purge bulb to the carburetor port tube on that side. Looking at diagrams it doesn't show it completely anywhere that I have found including in this video. If someone would make this simple video of how those parts from the kit go on it would be great but they all seem to omit installing that long yellow fuel line going into the tank vent. The long yellow fuel line that came out was not a whole lot longer than what I thought would reach and it had a diagonal cut on one end and brown discoloration on the end I suppose going on to the bulb. I like seeing things easy to explain and show without guessing. The rest of the video though I skipped through it seemed excellent.

I've heard that trick too with the brake handle, but if you are in the 'field', not many of us carry Allen wrenches to saw limbs and remove chainsaw handles...however; you may actually carry a wrench and screwdriver. Also, that whole 'plastic on plastic' pressure that it takes for the reset just isn't good...course, hopefully; you're not having to do this on a regular basis. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqWZl9aPoKmvlrQ.html

    Hello Dean Message from new subscriber Bill: I am writing to ask for advice. My Husqvarna 455 Rancher of 11 years failed to start during the last of several days of heavy cutting. My compression meter confirmed that it was not starting because it had lost compression. I followed your disassembly and reassembly as carefully as I could, after purchasing an eBay piston and cylinder, crank and base plate seals, some 518 and other supplies. Upon completion, everything looked ready. I filled the tanks and started the saw hoping for a conclusion similar to yours. It ran for a minute at higher-than-expected RPM, which did not slow down as expected when I hit the trigger to release the start throttle position. When I hit the throttle again, it bogged and stalled. It would not start again. I checked the spark with my spark tester. Plenty of spark. I performed another compression test. No more than 40 psi. What could cause the compression to be so low after a piston and cylinder replacement which appeared to go well? Any ideas?

    That linkage into the handle was the most difficult part of this video to properly capture. My best description is that there is a small 'tunnel' into which the white part of the throttle slides. If you watch me press on the throttle after the install of the linkage, you'll see the white portion going in and out of the handle. Let me know if you're still having issues after watching this video. Also note, I have several more 455 videos including the one where I repaired a leak and that video may help as well.
