Part 2 Ryobi Expand-It broken but it's got spark, gas, and compression - repair and test run
Part 2 of this 2 part series. In part 1 I diagnosed the issue but had to take a break to find a proper tool to remove the clutch. I'm back at it now so stay tuned to see how this goes. All I can say Is that I'm disappointed in the QC at Ryobi for sure. Like and subscribe.

    I was going to get a compression tester but a couple decent mechanics showed as you did, testing by feel, AND they pointed out that pistons and rings can be bad and you still get good compression. They also pointed out that some saws showing low compression had clean piston and rings and ran well. I think examining the piston and rings visible condition is more useful. A pressure and vacuum test is more important, I think.

    Great video buddy! I bought a very similar one, but different name brand, same fundamentals. We bought this to use for our Honda mower we just bought this year, 2024. I’m a true believer, and I tell my kids, keeping an eye on the oil levels of all your engines, is a great and responsible thing; from cars, to lawnmower engines, the lifeblood of of your engine is the oil!

      @@kraftzion rings wear down, not so much in the older ones when poulan made a good production saw. When they switched to selling to residential everything went downhill. I have had older poulans that would have been used felling or on the landing. Newer saw made with Plastics make them so much lighter but the plastics warp over time. I have a poulan 4218 that the clutch had become hot because the owner/user did not understand that when running, the brake must be released or the clutch will continue to spin and the drum won’t, it got hot. Apparently the chain wouldn’t stop so he tripped the brake when it sat idling. That practice was probably what took the temper out of the clutch springs and made it continue turning the chain. Anyway the plastic around the clutch and crankshaft melted enough that the oil pump drive moved away from the driven oil gear and would not oil. No repair for that one. Still have it as the engine is ok just the plastic is ruined. The old metal ones would have survived. Stihl uses chrome plate cylinders with higher quality ring material. On the cheaper home owner saws the rings wear rapidly and then the combustion gases start leaking by and it’s not long that the saw either seizes or loses so much compression that it just won’t fire.
