WOW! Hidden Greasing Spot On A Chain Saw
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 04. 2020
- Does your power saw chain turn when you try to start it? You pull the starter rope and the chain moves? Watch Steve show you how to fix the problem. What do you think? Is it a broken clutch spring?? The clutch drum should turn freely without moving the clutch, let’s see if it does or maybe it’s stuck on the crankshaft?

@Mr grow Medical The (by far) most common cause of small engine failure is stale fuel gumming up (varnishing) the carb. This would definitely cause your symptoms. The severity of this would dictate the necessary repairs.
Start here - empty the tank of old fuel (dispose of it properly.) Put fresh fuel (I recommend 91 Octane, but that's solely due to the lack of ethanol - at least up here in Canada) treated with Seafoam (www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/sea-foam-motor-treatment-473-ml-0387800p.html#srp).
Now run the engine as before - with the fuel cap loosely in place (enough to stop the splashing gas from getting out while letting air in.) If it performs well, tighten the cap per norm and repeat the test. No stall? You're gtg. Stall again indicates the cap is plugged - can be cleaned relatively easily or replaced cheaply.
If it's still running like a bag of hammers with the cap loose, then we have to move onto the next diagnostic step.
Steve's Small Engine Saloon - Great Video 👍🏻
I don’t have a chainsaw like that, but it was still very informative and guess what I recently bought you a beer have a good day.
I have a vintage homelite super 2 from the 60s and I think I have a grease port on my bar but I don't know if that will work for this bar
I've got a Husky with the clutch set up that way and in the manual it shows a picture of putting grease on that shaft and recommends doing it every time you sharpen the chain. But it doesn't explain it good enough to let you know about pumping it in or why it needs it. I just put a glob of grease on the shaft like it shows but didn't know why. Thanks for the video ! I'm sure I'll get more life out of that bearing now.
@@florpdorp7190 I have a vintage 922 Homelite I bought in 1979 brand new and that grease gun works for the bar.
3 years later and still very informative. Thanks!
You're welcome!
That's quality beer and video brother... I've been running saws for 45 years and you just showed an old dog a new trick.... God bless
Glad to help
If I had teachers like this in school I would have been able to get a good , honorable job, and not end up being a Congressman.
Really?
Well if we had congressmen or women that would bring back the importance of traditional values and ethics as well as the importance of hard work then we might not be where we are now.
If I were in charge of school systems there would not be a student receive a diploma until he /she could read a tape measure proficiently. They would be required to carry it at all times and measure anything they are ask to measure at any time. And each student would know a trade before graduating. Whether it would be cooking, welding, electrical wiring, plumbing, hvac, farming, machine trades, auto mechanic, diesel mechanic, etc.
then they wouldn’t have to set around in safe zones and cry because they feel worthless with their degree in mythology or psychology and be so worthless that they can’t figure out how to do anything but riot and badmouth our country. !!!
Andy Jones but if they had to learn all that then that would leave no time for antifa and BLM Ah conservatives they get me every time
Thank you
I agree
This is really well filmed and spoken clearly with good information. Well done! Thanks! 👍✔
Much appreciated!
I've been running chainsaws for 40 years and I never knew that I could possibly grease that needle bearing. Thanks Steve!
Glad to help
Same here, but I been doing it 30 years
Not all of them , my 044 does not have that feature , my tanakas have.
@@tomthompson7400 2 drilled holes and it would.
should the bearing be packed with Grease prior. to insertion ?
Didn’t know that the hole on the end of the shaft was for grease.
Tips like this are a god send to the amateur chainsaw guy.
Right on Tommy...
Tom Stitt outboard clutches 90% of the time have the grease port, inboard clutches, atleast all of my saws you have to take the cutch apart to grease
Me neither. I've run Husky saws at work for decades. Had no idea that was there.
Thanks great vid.information invaluable...chain saw ...very cool..have a brewhaha fixing saws man after my own hart
Cool man thx going to grease my 545
Now, that is a new one to me. I have been using chainsaws for years now,but I never knew there was a grease hole in the needle bearings. Thanks to you Steve, i know now. That's why I watch your videos of every day.
You're Welcome...
Probably the best small engine maintenence channel on youtube.
Give this man another beer 🤙
Wow, thanks!
theres no doubt about that scott
Labatt was my grandfathers beer, it is now my beer. He was a wizard just like yourself with the old gas axes, everybody in town used to bring their saws to him, but I was too young to appreciate it. People like you are how us young people are continuing to learn while we lose our elders. I’m am forever thankful for your videos, they fill a void in my life I would never get back.
JacobChaulk I can appreciate your grandfather. My former father-in-law, Frank was just like that. Frank was brilliant, he could fix anything. The most important thing that he taught me was that there is very little you cannot do if you give it a try.
@@newportpa67 So true, just fixed my lawnmower today that i almost took to reapair shop after it sat in shed for about year or so.
🍺🍻 dont make them like they used to :)
@@newportpa67 well said!
I do not understand why anyone would put a thums down for such good and wonderful information. If I was there in his shop, I would shake his hand and give him a good manly hug. I realy appreiate all the good information this man puts forth for us not so informed on these saws
I appreciate that!
I would bring him beerz.
I agree. Those "thumbs down" people are scum. It is people like Steve who takes the time to help us less fortunate folks try to better ourselves and learn stuff.
It's strange how the number of thumbs down is the exact same number as Authourized Husqvarna dealers in North America.....hmmm..... coincidence?
Best ever. Every time, Steve, I learn 2-3 things! Steve out.
Right on Carl! Thank You...
TOP SECRET! What would I do without these guys and u-tube. I learn something new every day about all my tractors, bush hog's, lawn equipment.
Steve what a great vidio......been using chain saws for 50 years and I didnt know about the grease ports.........thanks much !
Glad to help
Steve glad you pointed that out I was alarmed when you dry assembled that needle roller bearing out.
Yep, me too.
Using chainsaws for 30 years and there's always something new to learn. These details weren't widely available before the internet. Only the chainsaw manufacturers and small engine repair guys probably knew. Thanks.
You're Welcome...
To be fair these things are in the manuals
@@MattJonesYT the wise guys never read them
Steve you are a life saver with all the expert advise you give. If I lived near you within 60 miles or so I would never take my lawnmowers or chains or all of my small engines anywhere else but to you buddy. Your a champ 1st class my friend. Thank you very kindly for all of your videos. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow, thanks
Steve, you're the best! I'm 60 years old and I can honestly say I've learned more from you in the last couple of years then the previous 58. Keep up the great work best wishes
Wow, thanks!
As someone that is self taught on all things mechanical, I really appreciate your videos and mentions of your hydration choices. We have the nest beers up here in the great white north! Keep em coming!
Right on
Holy crap... you just saved me so much trials and tributations with my workforce. You explained it in a way they understood it. Thank you Steve!!!
You're Welcome...
Man I just got a gas saw and it’s my first gas fueled small engine powered piece of power equipment. It’s amazing the knowlege you can find on CZcams. I’m glad that this was mentioned because I would have never guessed there was a greasable bearing for that clutch and I certainly would not have figured that spot there walls have been a grease port. I’m a commercial/industrial hvac technician and understand how important maintenance is on equipment that needs to be relied on so that’s why I started researching all of this chainsaw stuff and MAN am I glad I did. Seems like outdoor power equipment design, building, manufacturing, maintenance and repair is it’s own little world with all sorts of little known pieces of info. Hopefully learning all of this will ensure my equipment lasts for years.
Wow! A hidden “G” spot, who would have thought? Great channel, keep up the content and stay safe.
Lol
I don’t always read the manual either, but I’ve had three huskies and the book mentioned it on all three
@@turdferguson4602 I’ve only had 2, actually only the 1st was husky… but neither wife came with a manual ;-)
Almost 60 years old and never knew about the clutch portion. Thank you
Glad to help
Been around the sun for over 70 years & did not know this!
was about to take it to a repair shop and you saved my butt, Thanks
You're Welcome...
I couldn't even find this DETAILED explanation in the Husky book that came with the saw. Talks about a fitting. A HOLE is NOT a FITTING!!!! I have 2 353 saws and have now caught their grease points before the bearings failed. Thanks to you... so much!
Been running a saw for 50 years and never knew about that one Steve. Thanks
You're Welcome...
@Dave Iauco totally agree with you,is the same old and new chinese counterparts,but i allways have a full checkup everytime when i replace a chain or bar+chain.
if i would of had teachers like you in school , i would have finished high school
Thank You...
It's true... a school subject incorporating this type of life skill teaching is a winner..
Especially one that lets you drink beer in class.
@Mark OnTheBlueRidge who cares?
If I had had teachers like this, I wouldn't be a patent attorney with a logging certification.
I haved saved several chainsaws from nasty issues since first watching your video a few years ago. Thanks, Steve
You're Welcome...
I inadvertently found the answer to my question. My chain goes by itself sometimes as well on my Husqvarna. Now that I know how to take the clutch off by the way thank you Steve, I better get on that job before I get a destroyed needle bearing. Sometimes the chain goes by itself while my saw is idling and sometimes it doesn't want to grab when I'm cutting at full throttle. I have this all running good but I know that something's up. Great video I'm glad I stumbled upon it even though it's 2 years old lol. Been washing your videos for about a year or so Steve but now you have another sub lol. I'm from Canada like you too eh.
You make repairs so look so easy, videos are great. I learn something new every time I watch one.
Glad you like them!
Great presentation....... although, myself, I would have greased the new bearings BEFORE installing them. Just saying. Good info - Thank you.
I had no idea of the roller bearings or the grease gun! The grease gun is definitely my next purchase! Thanks Steve for another excellent educational video! You're the BEST!!
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Great video as always. Steve I'm located down in Florida and I have been restoring all sort of small engines from mowers to weed eaters from the trash and I always refer to your videos. Thanks!!!
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Steve well I just learned some thing never new that
Right on Marky..
Steve, I had a PBR while I watched this video. I have a Husquvarna and am going to check to see if I can do this. Maintenance is always easier than repair
Good luck!
John Jones PBR, I hear some people saying that is the worst beer around but after trying coors, miller and bud I don’t think blue ribbon could be any more shitty. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
@@huskypilot6305 Bad beer is like bad whiskey, after the first couple of drinks it doesnt really matter.
Huskypilot 630 ...PBR is probably worse than the others you named but just barely. For years US beer was bad but in the last couple of decades, or three, we've really come along. We now have some of the finest craft beer on the planet. 🍻
Can't get it at the moment in Tesco, mad people have had a rush on it! I thought only I drink it over here!
I've asked what to do and properly care for saws I've used.
This has never been known about or mentioned.
I learned about the mix.
And the bar oil.
Had an oiler turned up by a shop for one that heated up the bar.
But this is the first for grease points that must be in the original instructions?
Wherever they are.
The sock monster in the dryer must take them.
Who knows.
But this video caught me totally by surprise. Nice job, Steve.
You really earned a Heineken that hasn't been out of the fridge since it was bottled.
Chilled and not skunky.
I got lucky, my bike riding buddy from 25 yrs ago was also the first Husky dealer in Wyoming. He taught me a lot about bikes, and saws. He taught me to rebuild everything whenever it broke down. Thanks Mike.
My husband is fixing ours as we speak.
Right on
Does he also have a LaBatts?
Great information! I knew about the grease point on the bar but greasing the bearings at the clutch was the great info for me. My Stihl’s getting a good greasing first thing tomorrow morning! Thanks for the info Steve! Great channel! 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great tip for greasing the clutch bearing. Thank you for this time saving maintenance tip.
You're Welcome...
I'm so glad that I found this channel. Very informative.
Thank You...
Wow Steve had no idea there was a grease hole for the bearing does Buckin billy ray even know of this i think i will ask him Thank you Sir for the info you are the man with the plan for sure.
WOW!! Mind BLOWN Steve!! Hope that feature is available on my Stihl saws!!
Best chainsaw repair and maintenance channel on CZcams! 👍🏼
Wow, thanks!
Thank you Steve for another useful maintenance tip. I am impressed with your simple and no nonsense presentation. I have had chainsaws for years and have learnt more from you in the last year. Thanks again. James
Great to hear!
Your a champion Steve, iv watched all of your chainsaw videos, iv owned a little STIHL MS180 for about 3 weeks and I feel confident enough to fix most problems I come across, I hope you keep making more chainsaw videos! Cheers from Australia🍺
Thank You...
I have a Husky and never new about that. Thanks Steve, I've never yet watched one of you videos without learning something. You're a star.👍
Glad to help
Wow . That literally explains a ton of what I totally overlooked all these years. Thanks again for your vids I know I can always get the best info and results with your channel. Keep em coming.
Glad to help!
Another terrific video...short and to the point. Excellent camera work. Really great. Thanks Steve. Jesus bless.
Thank you kindly!
Clear. Easy to picture and understand👍
Thank You...
Once again, an excellent and very useful video. Great work Steve!
Thank You...
Outstanding reminder of something I missed when serving my chainsaws. Thanks.
You're Welcome...
Great advice and demonstration. I will pass this on to those people that don't know.
Appreciate it, have to check and see if my Stihl 211 has that.
Greeting from Florida, with all the storms this year, I've really appreciated your chainsaw videos. You sir, have saved me a bundle in all areas of small engine repair. On Another note, many of the principles you talk about apply to large engines and many vehicles as well. Thanks again, stay warm up there and if you ever come close to Pensacola, stop in see the Blue Angels and we'll have a cold brew or two!
Thanks for this video! I had this same issue with my gas demo saw, and fixed it by cleaning and greasing the needle bearing. Works great now!
Good stuff!
Man found ya after about 2 years!!! Thanks Steve! Prost!
Right on Dan!
When I watch you I learn a lot and feel like I'm spending time with a friend drinking a beer. Keep up the good work!
That's awesome!
Great tip and useful references too!!! Easy fix but preventive measures always rule!!! Thank you Steve!!🏆
You are very welcome
Steve, Thanks for showing us folks this important maintenance tip. I'm sure it will help many folks.
I hope so!
Steve you are so helpful. Good to have this info that makes our lives easier. Thank you.
You are so welcome
Running the Chainsaw for 40 years never knew that goes to show you learn something new everyday thanks God bless
Right on
I'm going to look at mine now, learn something every day, thank you
Glad to help
Just watched this and finally understand that clutch arrangement. Many thanks.
Great to hear!
Clear, concise, informative information. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Not going to lie. I was skeptical at first, but now I’m subscribed 👏
Right on buddy! Thank You...
Same happened to me a while back, now find myself watching vids for issues I don’t have 😅😂 cheers!
Never to old to learn something new. Didn't know that existed. Thanks for the video.
No problem!
Once again, Steve, a great video on proper maintenance of my Husqvarna chainsaw. I did not know this!! I’ll be sure to hit this with grease the next time I clean the saw. Thanks so much.👍🏻
Glad to help
Good tip, I took a chainsaw course and it did not include this tip as part of the maintenence so well worth the time watching.. Thank you!
You're Welcome...
Love to get your thoughts on OEM vs aftermarket small engine parts. I really appreciate the fact you share all this great information.
Top notch ! Just picked up my new chainsaw today and this is tremendous information to ensure I get a long life out of it without unnecessary repairs. Thank you.
Great to hear!
They say you should try to learn something new every day. Mission accomplished! Thanks!!
You're Welcome...
You think this video saved me money? LOL.
I just found out I need to buy two more tools that I didn't know about.
Thanks Steve. Keep up the great videos.
Sorry bout that!
This channel is awesome Steve. You’re a legend.
You rock!
I did a chainsaw course at Usk college in the UK 17 years ago. The saws we used were the Husqvarna 371, we were shown how to lubricate the clutch housing needle roller bearing using the simple grease gun. We were told to do this periodically, say every 2-3 months, too often and grease could get into the clutch. I've since found that not all chainsaws have this method of bearing lubrication. The bearing really only comes under heavy load when the chain is stalled under heavy throttle situations. Some people often stall their chain!!!! Under normal use the bearing doesn't get much load at all.
Great videos, I refer back to these videos, when working on small engines and chainsaws, very informative, easy to understand, great job in explaining. Thanks
Cool, thanks
Fantastic video. So much information given away and years of knowledge. I thank you so much for making videos with great tips and not be selfish.
Great job Steve 😉
So nice of you
I really like this man and his video's....Down to earth, smart as hell and knowledgeable....Makes me want to have a beer or two with him, maybe three or four...lol
Right on Vern...
Thanks for this hidden info Steve!
Would you do a video on the differences between bar and chain oil and regular oil, and or used motor oil related to use as bar oil?
Another enjoyable and informative video from Steve. I'll be checking my Stihl's to see if they have that feature, and if not I'll pull the clutch off and put some grease on the bearing.
Thanks for today's lesson.
Always enjoy your videos and I learn so much from watching. When I need to make repairs I look to you for help and get the help I need ever time. Straight talk with good information.
Thank You...
Love this! Steve knows what he's talking about! And then,,, Labatt Blue! Yes!
Right on
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Brewed right in my hometown of London Ontario Canada.
My old 2100 Husky did not have that hole in the shaft. I would take the bearing out every 3 months or so to clean and grease it. After I had it ported and a carb upgrade, I had the fastest cutting saw in our crew. That was when Huskys were built well.
thank you Steve! used saws for 30 years & you are the best info I ever got Thanks from New Zealand
Glad to help
Good video! I'm 72, been fixin' saws up north here on Vancouver Island since 1975. One thing about greasing the tips: we were running the 2100 model those days, and the fallers weren't greasing the tips. There was no problem. But a local contractor was, and his tips were burning up! Our conclusion was that the chain oil did a good job anyway. Bill
I used to work at Macandales!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon You must know the guy who originally worked for Challenger in Nimpkish, before he went to Macandales. [1989?] He was from Duncan, I forget his name! I worked at Woss, but long before I was at Gordon River- where my dad was saw mechanic. Bill junior.
Great stuff Mate!
Thanks a lot!
Videos are always spot on .. Husky explains the need to grease that bearing in the owners manual but, its better when you show us . Thanks !!!
Great point!
Owner's manual? To read the instructions is to admit defeat...and blow up a saw.
Tell us more of this “Owner’s Manual” you speak so highly of🤔. This isn’t a gag like the Loch-Ness Monster or the Booger-Man is it?🤣
@@sawsurgeon no, it's for real. They come with the women's model.
Awesome, I had no idea! Thanks. And I hate to admit that I’ve been cutting and burning wood for 20 years.
I am so glad I found this channel. I find it to be pretty informative for the do it yourself guy who knows a little but not everything. I'm a brick layer, concrete finisher and my Pop was a great mechanic. Large and small engine. I learned a lot from my Pop so of course I want to fix the problem myself. My Pop isn't here anymore, so it's great to watch one of Steve's videos now that I don't have my Father to ask and show me the problem and how to fix it
I appreciate that!
Just found your channel. Great information with an awesome delivery. I hope you keep making them.
More to come!
Thanks Steve: That was a good tip
You're Welcome...
I continually preach preventive Maintenance to all my customers.
This video was/is Extremely simple and Extremely informative.
I'm going to take a look at my saw now.
Great to hear!
I can honestly say I learned something today. Great video very informative.
Awesome! Thank you!
Welly, well, well !!! I have this machine within this exact problem. How good is providence? From Straya, I dips me lid.
A secret grease hole and Labatt’s Blue in cans...two things I never knew existed!
Great video Steve! Easy to understand, informative and with usefull links. Well done Sir
Much appreciated!
Keep up the great work Steve. Thank you for all you do for us folks.
Thanks, will do!
A stuck clutch is most likely always the bearing, as most of the bearings ride in a plastic cage. The cage gets hot from lack of lubrication, and melts and wipes out the bearings, which is what you end up with here.
Out of all of the saws and weedeaters with clutches I have worked on over the years, I rarely ever run into a broken spring.
Good catch on that.
Had a Stihl in the shop recently that had the drum so packed full of oil and saw dust that it presented the same symptom. The bearing was my first suspect.
Thanks for the grease hole tip. Didn't know that one.
Right on Will...
I love learning something new everyday. Thx for the tips...
You are so welcome!
