    Four years ago I was watching this video and realized you were rebuilding a chainsaw exactly like mine. I could not believe that my piston looked as bad as yours but I was so wrong. I rebuilt the whole thing watching your videos- carburetor included - and everything came together like clockwork. I depend on that saw and since the rebuild, it has never let me down. Thanks very much!

      @@donyboy73 I followed your advice and ordered the parts from China. I think the name of the company was "Farmer Tech" which I thought was a weird name, but whatever. I enjoy your videos. Whenever I run into small engine issue, I keep coming back. Thanks!

    Donny, I'm really glad this video was still up. Seven years ago I rebuilt my 55 watching you, and last fall I just knew it was time to do it again. It's been my go-to saw, and with a new top end and carb, I'm sure it will stay that way. Thanks!

      I'm impressed, I wish all young kids would work hard like you. I can't seem to get my 16 year old stepson to do anything. We have 2.5 ac acres with a majority of the property covered with oak and madrone trees, I give my stepson lots of chores to do but he doesn't want to do much , I even pay him good money.

  • @donyboy73
    @donyboy73  12 лет назад

    @azfires000 I USED GAS AND A PAINT BRUSH IN A CONTAINER OUTSIDE AWAY FROM ANY SPARKS OR FIRE HAZARDS, if dirt fell in the crank case i would vacuum it out with a shop vac

    Just a quick tip from a machinist who has to use allen wrenches daily. Sometimes when we get a bolt thats tight or in an awkward place, well get a small metal tube and put it on the short end of the wrench and this way you get lots of leverage and it might be a bit easier than a pair of pliers. But your method obviously works too! I like the videos.

  • @darrellpickering8535
    @darrellpickering8535 2 года назад

    I've always used Loctite when building saws b/c of vibration. Also a stickler on proper torque specs. Good video, straight to the point.

  • @azfires000
    @azfires000 12 лет назад

    @donyboy73 I really didnt know if I was gonna end with some few extra bolts... but I manage to get a diagram of the parts from a website. the Intake booth was a little pain .... but we made it, and I was so happy!! Thank you for the awesome videos donyboy!

  • @donyboy73
    @donyboy73  13 лет назад

    @spelunkerd yesw the pin is to stop the ring from rotating, it is on most 2 stroke engines and you won't find it on 4 cycle engines

    Excellent tutorial. I am overhauling a Husqvarna hedge cutter. Failed to start after loaning it out - I suspect incorrect fuel/oil mix might have caused damage to piston / rings. I have overhaled the carb but still wont start. Is the cause now likely to be piston or ring damage caused by possible overheating? Watching your vid now has given me confidence to dissasemble or can I check compression first (if so how is this best done?)

  • @azfires000
    @azfires000 12 лет назад

    Thats what i been looking for, a step by step process of the re-built. I dont wanna do it but...
    My question is, I have a 575 XP Husqvarna chain saw. I need to retap the spark plug. I never done it before so Im nervous about it. Do you recomend to remove the head or do it on place? Im just worry about the shavings of the retap.
    Thank you

  • @spelunkerd
    @spelunkerd 13 лет назад

    When you put the piston into the cylinder, you pointed out a little pin that you lined the gap of the ring with. Does that pin hold the ring in place so it can't rotate? I've never seen such a pin in auto engines. Is that little pin unique to this kind of engine?

    Hello, really nice videos, im an engine tuner (2-4 strokes) and,
    you should put the wrist pin clip at either 12 or 6 o clock, if 3 or 9, they can snap off their groove because of the piston acceleration, especially on high speed engines ;-)

    the problem in your case is that the cylinder piston and rings all need to be replaced at the same time to have optimum compression,

I have a 2 strokes engine with two cylinders and for some reason one of them always have low compression, after days of thinking and replacing the rings I thought that the exhaust port can be damaging them. Now I found your video and you confirm my suspicions, now i need to wait for the new rings. thanks for your video.

    These videos were great. I did something I never thought I could do. However.. I reassembled. Got compression. Got spark. Cranked for a second with starter spray in carburetor. I tried bleeding the fuel line. I had soaked the carburetor but no maintenance. Can I assume it's the carburetor? An idea for you is to review these rebuild kits!
