- Found this Husqvarna 55 Rancher for sale for $50 on fb marketplace. Guy said it didn't run and he didn't have time to figure out why so I had to jump on the deal taking the gamble that it could be fixed.
Good job you didn't lose your cool like I would have! Only through repetition do we gain wisdom . Good fortunes to you buddy
good job, takes patience i have same saw for tenyrs maybe more and still ripping thru wood nice save
Just gotta pull the brake back might be a little stiff from sitting
Gotta get ya an air compressor and air gun for blowing things clean as you work. No need to expose yourself to chemicals unnecessarily.
You’ll be a master at taking these apart and back together. Keep at it
I wish you good luck in the future young man I wish I could fix my lawn mower and chains saw and weed whacker I live in Antigua and Barbuda good work
FYI, there’s absolutely no need for gasket maker on the carb gasket. That’s a great way to plug the impulse line, rendering your carb unable to pump fuel, and the saw will not run.
I saw mixed opinions online and didn’t have a new gasket so figured I’d try it out 🤷♂️ guess we will find out with time. And if it does clog the carb at least it’s easy to clean
As long as the gasket was not torn or falling apart, it was still useable as it was, without additional gasket material. All it needs to do is seal the air gap between the carburetor and the intake.
The impulse line is the tiny hole in the gasket which mates up with the tiny hole on the intake. If that hole blocks up with dirt, or in this case, form a gasket, the back and forth pressure and vacuum created in the crankcase and cylinder which drives the diaphragm in the carb (which pumps the fuel) will not happen, thus the saw will not run. Your saw ran afterwards, so evidently it isn’t blocked. The more you work on these things the more you will learn. Get a carb kit, learn how to tune a carb with the high & low screws, and that saw will sing!
That brake getting seized is this shittiest thing of all husqvarna chainsaws. Had a brand new husqvarna chainsaw and the brake seized just like this, and I could NOT snap it open. Returned it and got an echo cs-590 and no issues.
That's how I always unlock my brake!🤣
That’s a nice saw. That chain brake was sieved up pretty good. I’d buy that for $50 all day.
Felt like a safe bet and glad it worked out
Take the muffler off and check for scratched cly
loosten your chain a touch blow out your crank bearing if its too tight
Good Job man looks great!
Means a lot
You cut down that whole damn tree with the brake on it looks like 😂 but hey you can’t beat a $50 saw of that brand. I found three for 100 online that I’m interested in buying to make run again
To me it sounded like a dry chain, either he forgot to put bar oil in or the pump wasn't working.
Nice work on that chain brake. Those can be a beotch!
Thank you!
Mesin tangguh kawan 👍 mantap
Me paso desde hay aprendí a no desmontar la cadena sin quitar el freno
It ain't fixed until you get that pine tree down!
I’m embarrassed to admit how long I left it for but it was out away from anything it could hurt and it’s down and dealt with now
No chaps, no helmet, no muffs,...... dude..... i do that too 🤪
I do usually wear at least chaps, glasses and muffs…but I was excited 😅
@@Mclean_mcnamara yes i know exactly what you mean, i dont even have chaps, but i wanna buy some 😅 i never use glasses when using a chainsaw, but earplugs are good when working longer period of time.
@@WildStyleWorks I got my chaps for like $30 off Amazon and they have held up great so far. Definitely cheaper than a new leg 😂
@@Mclean_mcnamara 🤣🤣 yea those legs got expensive in the last time 🤪 i will have a look befor i run my old monster saw.
@@Mclean_mcnamara Can you buy a leg, I presume you can but it going to cost an arm & leg so not worth it! I personally where pant Find them better easier to put on/off!
Huskys keep on going
No joke
Only was to learn is by doing
Did you put the air filter back on?
I did on the video but it’s on there before I start it up
I have an old Husqvarna something like that I gave up on it.
Give it another go if you still have it around somewhere!
@@Mclean_mcnamara Thanks, I got it fixed.
@@twagner6155 that’s awesome to hear
@@Mclean_mcnamara i thought for sure you were going to offer him 50 for it
@@philipcasavant2249 haha it crossed my mind but as long as it not getting trashed I’m happy
It is the chain break dummy
