Husky 435 Oil Leak Fix

  "This piece of junk chainsaw you sold me leaked oil all over my new Igloo cooler. I haven't even cut any wood with it and its already making a mess. In my 40 years of cutting I've never seen such a piece of junk". 

 Its possible for a new saw to leak oil and a little oil leakage could be considered normal. Whats not normal is for a person thats been cutting for 40 years not to know a saw might leak on a new cooler. We gave him his money back and it turns oil the only oil that dripped was from oil slinging off the chain and sticking to the clutch cover only later to lose to gravity and end up on his new cooler.



 This video addresses how I repair the most common leak on the Husqvarna 435, 445 and 450 saws.

Stihl Chainsaw Fuel Line Repair

  Another "Over The Bench" video. Yippee.


This is a common repair for me. I'd say that these fuel hoses are the weak link on this era Stihl chainsaw.

Husky T540 Not Oiling

  It was a Friday afternoon at work and I was finishing up a chainsaw repair. Nothing special about this repair and I wasn't in some kind of hurry to get it done. In fact it didn't matter to me if I finished it up that day or not. Later when I was at home eating dinner it hit me like a ton of bricks...BLAMO! I forgot to tighten a screw on that last repair! This wasn't good news because I'm not the type of person to just say "I'll get it on Monday". Doing that would mean two nights of no sleep wondering if I had really forgotten or if I was just losing my mind. 

 I used this as an excuse for a bike ride and headed over to the shop. I walked in, grabbed a wrench and driver, grabbed the saw and took the side cover off. No kidding, I really did forget to tighten that one screw. Its funny how the mind works, or at least how mine works.
