Thanks for this video. I have a Holtzfforma G660 that stripped the tensioner gears within a week. Order OEM gears and still had an issue. Ended up buying the whole assembly OEM and still had the issue. Finally decided to shim and now it runs buttery smooth. Rather than using a bushing, I simply cut out the tiniest rectangle of flashing, bent it into an L and molded it around the top of the spur gear. Slipped it in with some grease to hold it and now no issues. Bushings are probably a better long term solution, but for folks finding this and trying to find a quick fix, the flashing may work.
Vamos a ver , como puedes montar los piñones del tensor de la cadena en seco y sin lubricar con un poco de grasa , van duros no giran ,normal ,las piezas mecánicas en movimiento en general necesitan ser lubricados en más o menos cantidad ,si no se lubrifican,pueden desprender partículas de metal, lo que se traduce en un desgaste prematuro o un agarrotamiento de las mismas y su posterior averia cosa que no queremos.
I've had dramas with trying to mesh the gears. Bought an assembled G660 and tensioner worked fine initially, but then meshing went pear shaped. Tried all the different RUclips suggestions to fix it, but it was still pear shaped. Bought another tensioner, same problem. Even tried mixing and matching from old and new kits. Still horrible. Saw is largely an expensive paper weight till I can fix this. Any tips?
I’m having the same issue. It just strips the gears out no matter what. I did shim it some and it helped. I guess I need to force more shims. Just seems loose like it’s moving around wasn’t milled correctly from the start.
Is this an automatic adjuster or ??? A friend of mine let me borrow his smaller (14" or 16") Stihl chainsaw about 15 years ago to cut some limbs, I don't remember what model it was, but if I remember right it had an automatic chain adjuster or something like that. It seemed like a nice little saw and ran smooth. I remember liking the chain adjuster on it but I just don't remember the details about it.

Thank you for showing where to put the O ring i have watched many videos and it is never shown.

I grease the gears and threaded shaft too. Great videos, please do one on the 372 and 460.
Great video! Thanks. Just one question. What is the grease that you're using there? Does it have to be a specific type?
We use the Stihl multi purpose grease

no grease on those gears for the chain adjuster?
Yes! Put grease on the threads for both the adjuster and the bevel gears.
Holy cow, that shouldn't be that hard to assemble.😮

No, you have to set the chain tension with this adjuster. It’s not automatic
@@newenglandpine8660 Ok, thank you
