Good video. My 435 appears to leak oil when not in use so all my bar oil seems to drain from the reservoir. Using your detailed instructions I plan to take my apart to see what's up. Thanks for the vid.
The divets on the clutch where it says off are so you can hammer and punch it loose. Using that method ive never needed to rope the cumbustion chamber.
Just a quick note, the 435 specs call for a 50:1 fuel:oil mix, and by the looks of that TruFuel bottle, that was 40:1 mix... more lubrication but will foul the plug faster. Really appreciated the tight shots of the chainsaw, many videos have a wider angle and it's a bit more difficult to see the details. Thanks!
Next time use an adjustable wrench down at the open end of the Bx Wrench to apply pressure as close as possible to the Clutch. This reduces side lean while breaking the clutch loose. Couple of notes: 1) The Nipple does nothing - the Seal is formed by pressure from the Metal Plate. If they get worn, Replace ASAP. 2) I think people do not realize, if trash builds up around the Pump gears Pressure from the spinning Pump Rod could turn the outer sleeve. This would cause a blocked oil path and push oil out around the outer Sleeve - drip, drip... If the rubber line is not worn through or Swollen and the Metal plate is applying proper pressure, it should not leak. However, excessive trash around the Pump and tail of the Chain will soak up a lot of oil and eventually leave a puddle under the saw.
So how exactly was it leaking? I have the same chainsaw and mine leaks oil when it's not in use.. I had hoped that it had an oil shut off like my pole saw does..
My 445 with exact same hose started spewing oil under the saw. I think the rubber shrinked a bit so there's gap between the blade and the rubber. Some get to chain, but most spew out below the oil exiting point. Just put new hose into order.
It’s a very temporary fix. I’ve had the 435 for 12 years and have done this several times. It lasts about 6 months regardless of level of use. Mine has seen many, many, many hours of use. As has been mentioned before, keeping the area at the tail of the bar clean helps, but the new part does not last long. I store mine on its side (bar face up) to minimize leaks. verify oil mist from the bar tip occasionally during use. I thinks it’s a poor design, but the thing keeps chugging along so I use it for small stuff.
Thanks for feedback, I haven’t used mine a lot since I replaced it, It’s been holding so far, I have to keep an eye on it. But like you say it’s been a good saw for me otherwise.
No criticism intended - could you have spun the pump manually to check oil flow - before replacing the cover etc ? Appreciate any flow coming through would just be an indication but as you had concerns over the altered nipple pattern, perhaps it would have been prudent before reassembly ? Thanks for posting 🤙
Good to hear. I have the same issue and am afraid to order a new $25 oil hose and get the one without the nipple and have it still leak. If the sun hits my saw in the garage and heats it up it leaves a huge puddle of oil. @@MeadowgateWorks
@@MeadowgateWorks with that new oil line on it only leaks maybe the size of a 50-cent piece I'm going to put a little bit of silicone not enough that it can get back into the oiler though
You really should have cleaned the saw better. The roller bearing should definitely be cleaned well and then apply grease. All parts should have been cleaned and inspected for damage.
Start the saw up with the new parts before assembling the bar and chain. It won't tell you if there is a leak like using the saw over some time will, but you can directly see how much oil flow you ae getting through the oil exiting slot. A good way to know immediately if the new assembly has been installed correctly.
Great video. You’ve solved my oil leak problem. Thanks
Glad it worked for you

Same, All my oil leaks out after each use.

Perfect video of operation. Thank you...

Not.
You are awesome! I love your videos 😊
Thank you for your help

Not 100% sure but the rubber hose over time either loses flexibility, shrinks or expands and just doesn’t seal any more. Yeah no shut off on this one
@@MeadowgateWorksAre there aftermarket parts that are made of something else?
@@urblotasunkynewulf615 I haven’t been able to find them, original rubber hose is about $8

They recommended using OEM... Sounds like it doesn't matter either way.
brill thank you. did it wrong before this. Agree with one of the comments that it's worth having the tool to remove clutch.

I ordered a couple of Husqvarna 350 oil lines that look like it has the nipple on the end
This little husqvarna 36 isn't pumping oil. Put a new oil line in it still leaks and won't pump the oil up. Put a new oil pump in the saw chewed it.
Maybe the nipple was a bad design that led to leaking and they subsequently improved it for the replacement you got. Did it fix the leak?
Actually it did according to my friend. He used it and few days later he checked and no leaked oil under it.

Do you need the nipple to fit down inside the hole where the oil goes
I am going to that same problem right now with my 450
My bar still leaked even with the new rubber piece
@@leroybrown9828 maybe a different problem
@@MeadowgateWorks with that new oil line on it only leaks maybe the size of a 50-cent piece I'm going to put a little bit of silicone not enough that it can get back into the oiler though
Your chain bar went on upside down on the
re-assembly. The small hole on the bar has to align with the oiler slot ;-)
Bar is made to go either way so it wears on both sides. Oil hols are on both sides of the bar.
@Meadowgate Works oh sweet. I didn't notice that it had two holes. My bad lol. Cheers 🍻
Yeah normally they are made so you can flip the blade to wear both sides.
/smh

👍🤮
You do not give very good instructions, and you do not claim your parts and oil them as you should
Ok appreciate the feedback
