- In this video we take a first look over the saw. It's a Sears David Bradly 1955 chainsaw. Used a Tecumseh AH47 engine. In this series I will take it apart, clean it up, replace seals and rings and put it all back together. As always I will start it up at the end and see how it runs. Several short videos in the series instead of a marathon one.
i have one of those hanging on the garage wall. it is a bit bigger, 758g. i did use it in the past and it is no fun. it is very heavy.
How in the world did you get into the motor on this? I can’t seem to figure out how to take off the outside housing to then be able to remove the cylinder bolts.
Checkout the second video in this playlist. Have to remove flywheel and clutch both sides and reveal the screws. I had to use an impact driver. Next time I would use heat first
@@jonparkmac I can't even get the flywheel off the crankshaft! I think they have the thing welded on or something because I've tap-tap-tapped on it and nothing happens, not to mention how they have the housing around the flywheel makes it near impossible to pry up on it.
@@user-hn9qg5qm3oyeah, need a puller that you can position the claws under the flywheel, working with openings in the housing and sliding them around and finally putting the puller bar back into the claws.
@@jonparkmac I managed to get the flywheel off finally with that same puller tool you used. Thanks so much for showing that! Now if I can figure out why it will not fire. Mine has spark, feels like it has pretty descent compression, and I thought it was getting gas from the tank to the carburetor, but maybe something is off in the fuel supply system? Even when I put a little starting fluid in the top of cylinder where the spark plug goes it still won’t pop for me 🤷🏼♂️
@user-hn9qg5qm3o try putting a cap full of 40:1 fuel in the hole and pull it 5 times. Is the spark a strong spark? Check the plug gap too, but need a good blue bright spark. When you pull, should feel good resistance ..sort of hard to pull ..if it has good compression
