Chainsaw Repair

Chainsawrepair,

I did find the pictures you posted and the older saw is definitely the saw I am dealing with.

Your recommendation of flushing the crank case multiple times and then repeating the process while including turning the crank shaft does make a lot of sense.  I believe I understood you indicated I should use fuel mix as the flushing agent.  If I didn't get that correctly please let me know.

At this point I will plan to proceed with the flushing process and will set the case splitting aside unless it feels like there may be problems in the bearings or that the flushing was not adequate to clear all of the debris.

Will check into the case splitting information you referred to for interests sake at this point, hopefully flushing will do the job.

All of the time and research you put into assisting me with this saw repair are sincerely appreciated.  Will be looking forward to a thread or point in time when I may be able to assist or support you in some way.  You did the bulk of the follow up for me, but all of the other input from other members will also be remembered and is appreciated.

I will give it a shot from here.  Hopefully this has helped me over the hump, so to speak, so I can repair the damage caused.  Will intend to attach some pictures to provide you with some more information on my self generated problem.

Thank you again,

Nick, North West Farmer
