    This is true because when the chain break is ON, the ring clamp is closed down into a smaller circle in order to apply friction to the clutch (and thus stop the chain from moving). It is almost impossible to get the ring to slip back over the clutch during reassembly. However, at least on my chainsaw, if you make this mistake you can, with some effort, flip the switch back to the correct position before reassembling.

    Great video Stu. I have been checking tension at the bottom of the bar, and I only left enough tension that it just barely fit into the groove. Also the battle with bar and chain just proved to me that even a pro fights it sometimes

    My chainsaw chain has links with a 45 degree side and 90 degree side. Can you tell which is the cutting edge?

    Lift the bar when tightening the chain. Nothing makes a chain go slack quicker than not lifting the bar.

    I brought a new chain for my chainsaw . It was in the box ok. Took it but it twisted. Instead of it just being a loop or circle. How you get it twist out.

  • @mainstreetmower
    @mainstreetmower  9 ปีที่แล้ว

    The cutting edge is the 45 degree side, I'll get you a more thorough answer soon

    I have an old Ryobi chainsaw in my shop. Yea, I know, Ryobi saws are junk but this guy wants it fixed. I got it running and everything is perfect but when I put the chain back on it the chain doesn't roll around the sprocket like it should. It's binding up. It didn't work when he got it, I could tell it hadn't ran in a while. Covered with dirt, fuel lines rotted off, every crack on it packed with oily sawdust. I'm thinking somebody just put a chain on it to sell it and they put the wrong chain on it. The chain links have K1 stamped on them. Can the wrong chain cause this?

  • @billbradnock4829
    @billbradnock4829 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Chain has an arrow depicting the rotation of the chain. Has to be put on correctly otherwise it will take forever to cut a branch. I did it wrong first time myself on my Ryobi.

    I bought a new chain for my chainsaw its the right size 14 inch but won;t fit onto the clutch and around the bar , its seems too small. Its a Stihl chain but my saw is a Husquarvana 135 does that matter?

    • @stuhawthorne474
      @stuhawthorne474 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are many different 14" chains on the market. You need a chain that has drive links matching the spacing in you sprocket (this is called pitch) you should be able to locate the pitch of your chainsaw etched in decimal or fraction form on your sprocket. Likewise you need to match the gauge of the track in your bar. This measurement can often be found etched in your bar. Lastly the proper chain has to have the proper drink link count to span the circumference of your bar and chain. Match pitch, gauge and drive link count and you've got the right one.

    I took this picture before I removed the chain for sharpening, just to remind myself which was the correct direction when remounting it. The front end of the bar is to the left. johndallasbowers.com/stihl%20chain.jpg
