Was that Lucas red and tacky grease you used on the bearing. If so, that's good stuff. I only use that on everything in my zero turn spindles and every zerk fitting.
Its amazing that you are this kind. You own a repair shop and show people how to fix stuff and save money. In this crazy world we live in there are STILL some awesome folks out there!!!

Your husband is a lucky man to have such an awesome wife and woman. I love your videos. You have taught me so much about two stroke engines. Thank you 🙏🏻
When I worked for an equipment rental company, I read a LOT of owners' manuals and exploded parts catalogues. All the way from things like a reciprocating saw to string trimmers to chainsaws to skid steers to excavators big enough to require a semi to move them. - The most time cleaning/servicing per hour used by customers was definitely chain saws. An excavator got 20 minutes of fluid checks and grease points, a skid steer might need to add a pressure wash to get mud off. But a chainsaw was: take it partially apart to clean dirt and sawdust, check wear parts, put it all back together, top off fluids, then bring it over to the bench vice and sharpen the chain. (I had to use a round file and two strips of tape on the vice to get the angle right.)
How many times I have replaced the oiler and lines when co workers took the saw home for the weekend to cut firewood, they swear blind the chainbrake was off, but they were melted far worse than that one. In the end they stopped everyone from borrowing the saws. Great video Bree. showed every step needed to do the repair, Well Done.
What I like about the older chainsaws, is that they used tohave a button in the handle, and you can pump oil on the bar manually..This is great for cutting pine,or ficus trees..You can pump more oil to keep the sap from jamming the chain.
Good video on an often oiler issue. Catching the issue early saved the melt down and total destruction. Nothing worst than losing a pefectly good machine from neglect. Thanks for the fix and saving a chainsaw replacement and my woodsman sanity.
Yup winter is just around the corner 2 weeks ago I delivered a semi load of snowblowers to a lowes distribution center. Another great instructional video from the best mechanic around
I have two battery operated stihls that I use a lot. My husband has a bunch of gas powered ones that I want to use , but he has dementia and I need to learn about how to get them going since it’s been years since they’ve been started. I really appreciate your help and maybe I can do this by learning more from you!
You are brilliant and amazing! I love watching your videos. Had no idea how hard it was for oil to get from that tank over to that chain. I'm just happy that mine works! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the oiler repair video. I have several Stihl saws. When I need to repair them this information will be helpful. Thank you for another great video.
Yea, I can't see how you do that. On the chainsaw I've used there's no way to cut anything with the chain brake on. Which as far as I understand is how it should be.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 Some people will keep trying to rev it with the break on not understanding why it's not doing anything. They'll keep trying to start it over and over revving it each time without reading the manual. A couple months back we had a customer bring back a chainsaw saying it wouldn't work and they only had it for a few hours. They bought it for a couple of guys that were working for them and apparently those guys had never used one before.
Or they could of cut with a dull chain the whole time they used the saw that’s why the clutch area is all burned up/ melted. Not just trying to cut with the chain brake on
I enjoy watching you even though I don’t own a gas operated chain saw. I just find your knowledge and skill level fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I have a pair of the MS 310 saws and had to do new oil pumps because i messed them up when i replaced the clutch drum and sprockets. Did not know they had to fit in the way they did. no real damage to anything but a half dozen chains got a good stretch to them. I have learned alot from watchin your vids covering the stihl saws so thanks for the information/education
I had problems with the covers around the clutch/brake melting on my MS461… and then the brake wasn’t working correctly. I pulled it apart and found the area around the brake band and brake mechanism was full of wood swarf and bar oil! I cleaned it all out and replaced the covers. Now, at least once a year, I pull those covers on my MS261, MS461 and MS661 and clean them out. No more related problems.
Glad you did this. My original Stihl is a MS170. Years back, I was swapping a carving bar and chain for the regular and lost the bearing cage. The heat trashed a bunch. Now, I just have the Stihl carving bar on, but it won't oil. Now I know the process again
Good advice, checking chain oil delivery is something I've learned to do over the years. Something else to periodically check is for loose or missing screws. A number of years ago I was helping a friend cut down a dead tree and noticed a lot of smoke. Didn't think much about it wrote it off to hardwood and/or dull chain. But noticed the next time I used a saw one of the chain brake handle screws had fallen out so the brake was partially engaged. Hole was stripped so a Helicoil later all was good with the world.
I have a little Sthil MS180C that hadn't been started in 3 years. I poured out the old gas and refilled it with fresh. It started on the 3rd pull. I have multiple Sthil saws and trimmers, and I know a lot of YT small engine mechanics talk bad about Sthil 2 cycle oil, but that is all I've used for over 20 years with no problems. I did, however, buy an Echo backpack blower from the Chickanic and am running the Red Armor in it.
Love WATCHING your videos! I'm for the calendar concept, too! A few years ago I noticed my saw oiler was not producing as much as when it was new. Searched for a solution and used the idea of putting diesel fuel in the empty oiler reservoir and running it for a little while. I was reluctant, but decided that since the flashpoint of diesel is higher than gas I would give it a try. Voila! worked like a charm. I avoided having to make the repair you so beautifully explained. If you have an alternative to this I would love to watch that video. Thanks.
So hot it melted. I second the calendar request. You rock. Thank you so much for all the advice. I’m going to your store to get ready for porting my 372.
Love your videos! I work on all of my own equipment and I picked up on things you do! Some steps you have done has saved me time and I greatly appreciate that! Keep the videos coming, I'll keep watching! 😄
Excellent class on pro/commercial grade saw oiler systems & repair. I've only had hobby grade saws to tinker/repair on like old poulans, & a more recent makita. None had oiler problems & I don't know if they had oil pumps or something cheaper like a calibrated leak hole (lol) type oil sys. They all fling oil & I never looked into it. Now I know! Thanks Bre! Shout out to Ron & his recovery 👍 Paul from S. Central Tx.
man oh man thank you! i've been teaching operators to check for lubrication every time they refill the bar oil or haven't used the machine in a while, the number of bars and chains i have to replace because they dont is amazing.
Bought a 017 from a friend. He'd never had it apart but the local shop did. The oil pump didn't work especially well. Found the "Pro" shop didn't put the pump drive washer/cover in. The clutch wore the plastic down and freed up the drive rod. To anyone out there make sure you put that washer back in. 😊
Absolutely great Bree. Thanks, I did a formal subject on chainsaw care years back at Uni and I don't recall this checking on the oiler check and pump. It's near midnight and I'm inclined to go out and check my little Stihl just to make sure but maybe the neighbours may come and visit.
Great video, glad you are getting back to basics and walking us through the whole process just like you did when you first started. I know you covered a lot of the process is other videos but it is great when you don't have to hunt around for other videos for items you have covered but we have forgot. Remember we don't do this everyday so the complete process is excellent for us. Thanks again for your knowledge and videos
I used to love diving into small and large engines but stopped and only do my own stuff because...."customer entitlement". Learning so much from your channel (and others) 🙂thanks for all your vids. I just bought a new Stihl MS251 and always get nervous because the bar oiler doesn't put out a lot lol. I wish I had the adjustable so I could bump it a bit.
I had to do the same exact thing to a friend's chainsaw. The saw was practically brand new. Anyway, he fired it up and left it idling high with the chain brake on. He was letting it warm up, got distracted for about 10 minutes, noticed a lot of smoke coming from the outside of his shed, (his saw), then ran and shut it off Needless to say, it toasted the inside of the clutch housing area. Well, with some craftsmanship with a dremel, a new clutch bearing, and the parts you used, I got him back in business. He learned a valuable lesson. 😅😂
Besides driving trucks at the Green House where I worked for years, In the off season I did repairs and maintenance. We always get new hires fresh from their momma's basement. The crew foreman brought me a new chain saw that he said wouldn't cut. That was the description. After a bit of examination, it was evident that some one had been forcing the saw to work with the chain break on. It melted the thing on to the hub! Took a lot of out of the box engineering to get it apart. But I got it going again, reusing the original parts, after a bit of heating and reshaping.
Wonderful. You might ought to mention the importance of keeping your bar groove and the matching holes in the bar that line up with the body of the saw. You would think that everyone should know that but some do not.
I put two oil pumps into my 029. I had heard a jingle bell sound right before it failed... twice. Once it was the clutch, then the second ti.e the oil pump exploded. In the process of putting a third pump in I cleaned out the power head with pressure washer and disassembled the plastic housing. What fell out was a large 7/8" nut! I bought this saw used and wondered how it got in there and how long it was there. That jingle bell sound stopped after the large nut was removed. Those cage needle bearing sure can explode too. .My 044 ate them chainsaw milling. More parts more fun. That 029 barely cut through some walnut with the 044s bar. It was slow but steady.
I dont cut everyday. Sometimes it may be weeks & weeks betwix saw uses. SO, I try to remember to pour out the gas into my riders tank but if I did forget I do it before I cut & put fresh gas in. I use my saw so infreq I mix up 1qt batches in a trufuel metal can. After the fuel in the can has sat around awhile I pour it into my rider. !
Could you please please please do a review or opinion on the Darwin handles that guy’s use on their string trimmers there are other brands out there also. Thank you sweet lady, i love your content and you do save me money. Repair shops probably don’t like you but us homeowners that watch your channel love you. My prayers to you and your family 😘
Do u leave oil in when not using saw or drain will oil gum up if it is not used for a while I usely run all gas and oil out but some times I do leave oil in but never gas it goes bad quicker than bar oil wish u were my sister but u keep up the great work and thank God for people that teach others watch and learn God bless you and thanks 🙏
Yes..as with all metal to metal situations where there is no lubrication. The chain can turn blue in the drive tangs and the bar can do the same. Plus far greater wear on both.
It is easy to check oil output on the log you are about to cut. That is how we did it when I worked as a logger. And anyone who knows anything about using a chain saw will know very quickly when the oiler quits. You can hear the difference in the sound of the chain and the smoke is also a pretty big clue. 😁
Willy do you do know how she dose her special start it's on one of her videos if not. 2 slow prime pulls everything off turn on full choke and a good pull generally gets them running.
@@prizecowproductions I've tried all kinds of "secret" start techniques, but my saw is just an ornery mess when starting it cold after a long time in storage. Now it's well over twenty years old, and might just need a carburetor rebuild and a new bar as the old one has been mistreated so it's amazing it works. But hey I did a dive into my basement and landed on my head half a year ago. Lost two weeks before I woke in the hospital and suffered some bran damage that makes it hard to walk without falling. I think I'll let the chainsaw be as crappy as it want as I don't feel safe handling it anymore.
Thanks so much for sharing! Was the primary reason it wasn't oiling because the metal prong had melted off the top of the worm gear and so the worm gear wasn't turning?
What are your opinions on battery powered chainsaws? I bought an Ego 18" chainsaw because that's the battery system I have. I bought it to replace a Stihl MS180 with a destroyed winder and other internal broken parts that the repair shop said would cost more to fix than the saw cost new.
New subscriber, curious to know what solution you use to clean the clutch and sprocket.? I've been using white vinegar, then cleaning with brake cleaner. You videos truly helped me with my repairs.
Great job. Concerned about your hearing as you work mostly on two cycle noise makers! How much has your experiencec eclipsed your small engine repair classes?
I have a 025 stihl saw. It has sat for a year or 2. I had it in the shop 3 years ago. As it would run good for about 15 mins then rev up then die out. I went to start it up 2 weeks ago but it was all locked up. It would not turn over at all. It would not pull.
Idk why but I remember when we were kids we would write 5318008 in the calculator and flip it upside down and laugh! Good times! Lol! Good info too, my MS250 is leaking oil at the oil line. But I think I got it fixed now after this video.

Or you can withdraw the bar from the cut and "cut air" for a moment clearing sawdust, plus cooling and lubricating the bar before continuing the cut?

Thank you Bre for the instructional vid
Useful thanks… not new to small engines, but new to chainsaws
Any damage to the bar or chain running without oil?
Yes..as with all metal to metal situations where there is no lubrication.
The chain can turn blue in the drive tangs and the bar can do the same.
Plus far greater wear on both.
Great segment. really good instructional video. appreciate your sharing.
It is easy to check oil output on the log you are about to cut. That is how we did it when I worked as a logger. And anyone who knows anything about using a chain saw will know very quickly when the oiler quits. You can hear the difference in the sound of the chain and the smoke is also a pretty big clue. 😁
As someone who has just undergone major shoulder surgery, it brings tears to my eyes, watching how effortlessly you start your chainsaws.
Willy do you do know how she dose her special start it's on one of her videos if not. 2 slow prime pulls everything off turn on full choke and a good pull generally gets them running.
@@prizecowproductions I've tried all kinds of "secret" start techniques, but my saw is just an ornery mess when starting it cold after a long time in storage. Now it's well over twenty years old, and might just need a carburetor rebuild and a new bar as the old one has been mistreated so it's amazing it works. But hey I did a dive into my basement and landed on my head half a year ago. Lost two weeks before I woke in the hospital and suffered some bran damage that makes it hard to walk without falling. I think I'll let the chainsaw be as crappy as it want as I don't feel safe handling it anymore.
Enjoy all videos a lot of learning thank you
You mention so many little tips that seem silly IF you do it all the time BUT are so useful for us homeowner DIYers.
Thanks
Great explanation, clear and simple . 👍🏴
Thanks so much for sharing! Was the primary reason it wasn't oiling because the metal prong had melted off the top of the worm gear and so the worm gear wasn't turning?
Thanks for the easily understood repair ❤
I see ur wearing ur favorite mechanic clothes have a good day young lady chickanic
What are your opinions on battery powered chainsaws? I bought an Ego 18" chainsaw because that's the battery system I have. I bought it to replace a Stihl MS180 with a destroyed winder and other internal broken parts that the repair shop said would cost more to fix than the saw cost new.
Hi Bre, Can you please let me know where you purchased the flywheel gaping tool you are using in your shop? Thanks from a loyal viewer
You are one heck of a mechanic !
Nice tip Bre. Enjoy your content. Stay safe.
Love ❤️ the summer look 😉 and the repair instructions, icing on the cupcake 🧁 👍🇺🇸
Did the overheating come from running it with the brake on and that caused the oiler to fail?
Very probably.
Can't believe someone who paid good money for this saw abused it so badly.
A borrower on the other hand...
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk I agree.
New subscriber, curious to know what solution you use to clean the clutch and sprocket.? I've been using white vinegar, then cleaning with brake cleaner. You videos truly helped me with my repairs.
Great job.
Concerned about your hearing as you work mostly on two cycle noise makers!
How much has your experiencec eclipsed your small engine repair classes?
Learned some stuff! Thanks for sharing!
thats awesome...firing up a power head right in the shop love it
Really appreciate the detail of your videos, thank you so much!
I have a 025 stihl saw. It has sat for a year or 2. I had it in the shop 3 years ago. As it would run good for about 15 mins then rev up then die out. I went to start it up 2 weeks ago but it was all locked up. It would not turn over at all. It would not pull.
Idk why but I remember when we were kids we would write 5318008 in the calculator and flip it upside down and laugh! Good times! Lol! Good info too, my MS250 is leaking oil at the oil line. But I think I got it fixed now after this video.
