Chainsaw Repair

Steve, I blanked off the carb and exhaust ports with a piece of rubber. Rigged up a hose with my vacuum for air condition on a car, had a guage teed in place and adjusted air regulator so guage was showing 7 inches of vacuum. Pulling a constant vacuum on crankcase.
Worked out to about 40 psi and used brake cleaner around the crank to bearing fit. You could see it pull the brake clean in. I let it air dry. I used a loctite bearing retainger compound, dont remember the number,  it was blue,and it pulled in place. The trouble I had was the loctite setting up. It would move so I was flipping the case while it was setting up. Well, IT DID NOT WORK, but it was worth a try. I still might yet try again, because it was only time envolved. The loctite 660 is thicker and I didnt think it would pull in. I will have to check out the 680.
