Welcome to the Chainsaw Shack!
My name is Andy Bakewell and I love using and fixing chainsaws.
I want to teach you all of the tricks and tips I have learned over years of using chainsaws for tree felling and making my own wooden structures and play areas.
This channel will help you if you are revising for your chainsaw assessment or if you are a domestic chainsaw user wanting to know how to do things.
This channel is a mix of easy to understand instructional videos, and some videos of me and my friends here in mid Wales having fun with saws in the woods.
If this sounds good to you, hit the SUBSCRIBE button and we'll join you for a chat in the comments.

Thanks, and God bless you!
So I have a stihl 026 that has the metal oil pump and plastic worm for some reason every single time the clutch over tightens when I put it on and go to pull the string causing it to not be able to turn over would anyone have any ideas on this
Two possible things. 1) check you didn’t put the big black washer on back to front. Note in the video I got it wrong first time then corrected myself. 2) make sure you pick up the oil pump drive arm with the notch in the clutch drum when reassembling.
Thankyou
Nice video
I have to put put a new clutch on my MS461. You answered all the questions I had. Now it's my turn. Thanks a million for these instructions.
Very clear and concise instructions, easy to understand and follow along. You have a new subscriber. Thanks!
Awesome video ❤🪓🌲
I tighten the clutch with my impact tight enough to get the E clip on the end of the crank. If you do not get the sprocket connected to the arm on the worm gear, you will not be able to get the E clip on the end of the crank. Stihl’s Service Manual says to rotate the sprocket one full turn to make sure it is engaged in the worm gear’s arm. I usually just put the sprocket on and rotate it a full turn and watch for it to drop down on the worm gear. Then, I put the washer and E clip on. I use a pair of kitchen pliers to snap the E clip in place. You should hear it snap into place. If not, replace it because it has lots its tension. They are pretty cheap at your Stihl dealer. It is better to replace it than have it come off while you are cutting.
C clip, known as a Jesus clip, because when you took it off you said - where the .Jesus did it go? I have lost more of these than any other part on a chainsaw.
I just hit the clutch with my impact containing the righ size socket turning CW. As soon as it loosens, I spin it off by hand. The best way to take the old springs out is with a pair of needle nose pliers. With the clutch in a vise. I usually use oem clutch springs. 9:26
I fix ‘em - I replace them. Putting new springs can be a hassle. I only replace the springs if I cannot get a new clutch in short order.
👍
Why not engage the clutch lock to keep the clutch from moving?
excellent video, wish y ou had more videos.
Stihl recommends rotating the sprocket 360 degrees to insure the worm gear arm engages with the notch in the sprocket. If you cannot get the E clip on the end of the crank, your worm gear arm is probably not engaged in the notch on the sprocket or you did not tighten the clutch sufficiently. I usually put my clutch on with my impact and give it at least one rap with the impact.
That’s the wrong sprocket washer for a rimless sprocket. The aluminum washer goes on with a spur sprocket. You need the thicker steel washer with a rimless sprocket.
Superb! Really struggled to hear what you were saying, what I heard I thought was very important.
Where can i buy the stihl brand return spring for the clutch of chainsaw?
Only available through a stihl authorized dealer
Thank you very useful information.
I got a farm boss stihl and my clutch seized up what u think ima see when I open er up ?
Very likely it will be a broken spring. You should replace them all because if one has broken the others will be close to breaking as well. Good luck.
I have driven a horse and cart once and can do long reining with a horse, that looks super fun.
Great job. I think you put the big washer before the clutch wrong side tho.
Thanks for doing this video, very helpful
Good to hear it was useful. Thanks
Husqvarna suspernders and stihl chainsaw 👍awsome video thank you for sharing
No worries! Regarding the mix and match branding, when people ask, I always say that it depends much more on the model of saw than the make. Both Husqvarna and Stihl have made some truly terrible saws, and some great ones. The best saw for reliability, balance and all-round likeability for me is the Husqvarna 346xp. I still haven't found a saw I like more for small scale forestry work. As for suspenders (this means something a bit different in the UK!), oh well, I guess I am a lumberjack!
@@chainsawshack2642 yes sir I understand and greetings from alabama sir
And greetings to you from Wales, UK.
Kia ora Excellent video. I like your easy to follow style without all the excessive waffle in american videos. I intend to carry out a check on the clutch of my Shindawa tomorrow as it does not seem to be working correctly. Kia kaha
Many thanks for your kind words.
I have ms180 she start fine but in the wood chain stop but chainsaw working fine.can be problem clutch or
The ms180 is a small saw and needs treating gently. The chain will stop in the wood when the chain is sharp and you have lots of teeth engaged with the wood (i.e. when you are cutting a large piece). Make sure you keep the engine revs high by not pushing too hard to get through the wood. The harder you push, the more load there is on the engine and the more likely it is that the chain will stop. With a plastic bodied saw like the ms180, if you carry on revving when the chain is stopped in the wood, you have a chance of overheating the clutch and melting the body of the saw.
Stihl company,please give this man one year supply of free beer.😄Absolutely superb presentation ,just like my old man.🍻🍻
Thankyou. I'm hope it helps.
Thanks so much ! Love your content brother! Would to see a maintenance video or some tricks and tips on gaining power
Thankyou. I do a lot of maintenance teaching - I just need another lockdown to give me time to do some more videos!
Good video and nice looking horses
Great info, very helpful! Thanks!
Great video! Thanks mate!
Gud video and use full speak
Thankyou
Well done video! Thank you for being thorough. Do not let negative nasty comments deter you. Just delete. Thanks from Texas
Thankyou. I'm kind of sensitive to this stuff. I'm not trying to make money - just to share tips. Your support means a lot.
@@chainsawshack2642 Keep up the good work! I have a Dolmar 6100 saw that, I suspect, needs a new clutch and this video helped immensely. Cheers from America
@@jonp.6131 Hi Jon. Doing the videos was a lockdown experiment for me. It’s great to hear when it’s been helpful for someone. Thanks for the feedback. Andy
Great video! I take you eliminated idle screw setting as the cause first? It looks like the clutch was the problem though.
Yes, but it's a good point. I'd rebuilt the engine with a 100cc Hyway rebuild kit so it's certainly a possibility that this is a factor. Don't buy saws unseen from ebay is the lesson from this one!
Good stuff.
Thanks🙂
Well done. Thoroughly and carefully shown and explained.
Thankyou. I was considering stopping doing videos due to unfriendly comments so it’s great to have good feedback.
@@chainsawshack2642 Unless the criticism is constructive or valid, then those people are to be pitied and ignored, right? :) Also, there is a wide range of audiences out here even among those of us who are sincere "watchers" -- e.g. from total beginner to "expert" -- and some of us conceitedly imagine any video we decide to watch should be all about "us" and exactly what we want to see at the moment, and so when a video fails to meet those unreasonable expectations we feel offended and the more stupid and immature among us react with an angry/mean, etc. comment! .... which is well to ignore! :) (and for what it's worth) ... along with good content, among other things, it does take (it appears) much patience and perseverance to build an audience in this medium. Anyway, best regards, sir, and keep up the good work!
@@scatoutdebutter Thanks. I guess you take the risk when you participate in social media. I appreciate your support.
@@scatoutdebutter Thankyou. This means a lot.
Yes very well. Thank you!
At 2:50 looks like you were going to pinch the tip roller
Excellent video.Like the impact drill hack to remove clutch.Look forward to more of these.Thank you
Thankyou. I’m glad you liked it.
Shindaiwa
This name has a copywrite. We will be pressing charges.
Thankyou. The weather was rubbish that day but the horses made it a fun day.
What a great video could watch those horses all day
Thanks. Go for it. It’s great fun! A
Not quite sure how to do that but it was an unbranded item on eBay for just over £50. They are often referred to as Beam mills. Some of them allow the saw to pivot but I think this one is more accurate. A
Another fab video Andy 🙂
Awesome video, I want to get one of these myself!
Great video, very clear, many thanks. Would it be possible please to post a link, or let us know where you got that simple mill that you are using. Thanks
Thanks Jake. The feeling when you create your first bit of useable timber is really something I want to share. It’s such a creative and positive thing. Then you start thinking about all of the possibilities this new found ability opens up ......
Another really interesting video Andy! Your love for it is evident :-)
Hi Alex. I would suggest a max of around a 12 inch cut for a 50 cc saw. You’re right. There’s no substitute for cc’s, but if you get a massive saw they are expensive and have limited other uses. I will post another video shortly on an excellent saw mill that produces square 4 inch posts using almost any saw. A
