Help, my chainsaw :(
« on: June 01, 2014, 03:32:09 pm »
Hello everyone

I have a Ryobi PCN-3335 Petrol 33cc Chainsaw.

To cut a long story short I needed to strip down my chainsaw. All that remains is the main chassis plus piston, crankshaft and clutch. The cylinder head has been removed.

My problem which I done in my ignorance is take off the cylinder head without thinking about the piston ring on the piston.  :o

PLease click on the following urls to see photographs of my chainsaw

http://tab140.freewebspace.com/8.jpg
http://tab140.freewebspace.com/9.jpg

(My webhost does allow linking. BUt if you click on the URL and inside the new window or tab go the the address bar and hit the enter or return button, the picture will appear.)

Picture 2.jpg shows you the flywheel at the bottom of the photo plus piston oil sump and crankshaft
Picture 6.jpg shows you the brake cable plus the clutch

My problem is I am struggling to insert the piston into the cylinder head. CAn anyone help me?
I have mentioned picture 6 as I may need to take off the clutch, but I dont know how without risking damage to the chainsaw. Any help given to me I would be grateful for.

thanks :) :) :) :)

The rings have locating pins that place the ring gap in between the port openings.

The ring gaps must be aligned about these pins or they will not compress flush against the piston so it will go up inside the cylinder.

I've used a big zip tie to hold the ring in so I can get the piston up inside the piston.

When the ring goes in - the zip tie falls around the connecting rod whereby you cut the zip tie off.

The clutch has left hand threads. It has to come off first or there is no way to hold the crankshaft to keep it from turning

Why are you taking such a new chainsaw apart?

??My problem is I am struggling to insert the piston into the cylinder head.
-Cut a 1 inch strip out of a plastic two litre pop bottle and use it as a ring compressor.

+1 on that Sharkey!

660, he might be just like the rest of us, buy a new saw, run it a little bit, then tear it apart and put it back together just to see what it is made of. I bought a brand new 562XP and a 543XP from Spike60 and right out of the box tore them apart and put them back together before I started either one, still have not had time to put either in wood!

I did that a few times as a kid but any more, unless I suspect a problem, I leave them alone.

I still tear new model or new to me saws apart because I don't want to be dumb founded when a customer walks in with one!
