Absolutely brilliant video. Really clear, well paced, thorough and a lovely amiable approach. To do it in such a way with English as a second language just puts many English speakers to shame. It is good to see an obvious expert with machinery make the odd mistake and admit to this. Everyone gets things wrong from time to time and it is reassuring for complete novices like me (I had written down the order of everything I took out to do with the clutch and just assumed this chainsaw didn't have the washer that Duck Flynn refers to - mine is an Stihl MS180C). I work in countryside management and do a little very basic routine maintenance of machinery and I am not a mechanic. This is the first time I have taken an engine apart (apart from the very basic stuff I did as part of my chainsaw training in the UK). It took me 2 (7 hour) days as I destroyed the top anti-vibration buffer by trying to take it out the wrong way and had to replace it. I really struggled with pushing in the 1st plug for the oil hose and with pulling out the oil pick-up and hose into the chain oil tank to make sure there was no kink. But I completed the job and the chain is now oiling again. I would never have attempted doing this without such a high quality video. Thank you from the UK for doing this in English.
I just want to say Claus you’re doing a fantastic job speaking English very clearly and I think you picked a pretty tough one to view on RUclips but terrific fantastic brilliant I enjoyed this video
Thanks Claus, excellent tutorial. I’ve been trying to get my Stihl 018 to oil for a year. 2 new oil pumps, new worm gear, 2 new oil pick up pipes and still no oiling of the chain!!! Did I think about kinking….no! Thanks for showing that you had the same issue, I’ll be fishing this afternoon to get the oil pipe and filter in the correct position.Thank you sir.
Strevde med å få remontert gaspådraget, men etter å ha konsultert denne eksellente video løste dette seg fint. Takk for kjempefin video. Saved my day out here in rural Thailand. Have a nice day! På kvelden så jeg hele videoen som er veldig instruktiv. Må sjekke i morgen om oljefilter assembly ligger som det bør. 🙂
Claus, my wee brother from another mother 😁 The timing of this video is absolutely perfect. My sons friend has a Stihl that doesn’t oil, i have to fix it for him. My experience with chainsaws is mainly with Husqvarnas. I have worked on one Stihl an MS180. I now feel confident I can sort out the oiling problem. For my sanity and Cucumber Klems can you stick to our mother tongue please 🥒😁
Claus ( sp? ) I know late for the party . You and Stella should be teachers so professional , first pull c'mon nice ! I wish you would do at least 1 a month in English 🙏 Learned some new things thanks for that 👍 🍺
When installing an oil line into the oil resivoir, I use a wooden popsicle stick that pushes without tearing the rubber line. A tip from an old timer, my Grandfather.
Hi Claus. Really great informative video my friend. Great catch on the kinked hose. I like the hollow nut driver. You are going to think this is weird but I can understand every word now, it's like you were speaking English......... 🙃
Smart move to replace all those bits while you are already that far into taking it apart. I've seen too many frugal scooterists tear engines apart multiple times to replace a $3 seal that could have been replaced the first time around. Cheers!
Thank you Claus it was excellent, I hope your Danish viewers understand too my friend and nice job on the saw. Now I expect to be able to eat off that nasty trashy work bench the next time we see it. 🤣👍
It's been more than two years since this video was released and I can't remember the orientation of the oil pump. Try and find an Illustrated Parts List for your saw - it should show how the pump sits in the housing
Great video,thank you...I think you missed installing the large washer that sits on top of the plastic oil pump drive just under the clutch...Thanks again...P/S...I also kinked my oil line and didn't get oil on my first time either, cost me a pump I probably didn't need...lol
@@HobbyMotorDK Aha, så forstår jeg bedre. Du taler betydeligt hurtigere på engelsk end på dansk, men det må være noget med din dialekt. Du gør e’et i hvert fald godt på begge sprog 👍
Thanks Claus. What should be driven home to chainsaw owners is this is why labor hours and thus costs are so high. They are easy to repair - it just takes time to do it procedurally correct.
In 2025, I encountered the same issue with an MS180C Thank you very much for helpful video; it has been extremely beneficial to me. Didier from France
Thank you very much 👍
I have the same issue on my Ms 170,very Informative, well done, excellent video. Cheers Dougie from Scotland
Thanks 👍
Excellent video in English! Thank you Sir. It was an honor watching you work!
Thanks KFF👍🏼

Thanks Amanda. Such praise is what makes it worth making videos like this.👍👍
Has the same issue with my 180c worked out with this very instructive video. I am fully agreed with all of your input here sir.
Thank you! Very informative. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Always tricky the oil pump on saws nice job claus really enjoyed this and in English thank you my mate
Thanks Rob 👍🏼

Thanks Henry - it means a lot.
Many thanks for this! You should have so many more likes for such a clear, in-depth, thorough and friendly approach! Cheers from the UK!
Thanks Keith 👍🏼👍🏼
Fantastisk

Thank you hobby moters for doing an English tutorial, you should do more but that's up to you . I enjoyed the video and I'm sure William 1 will too
Thanks Edward 👍🏼

Thanks Bill. Kind words and yes 1st pull starts are rare on 20+ yr engines.
Thanks for a great video 👍it absolutely helped me out 👌 from Melbourne AUSTRALIA 🤠
Thanks and good to hear 👍👍
Nice job Claus, very through explanation.
Thank you Martin 👍🏼

Good one Dave, That made med laugh out loud.🤣🤣
Very enjoyable to watch Claus IV seen rob doing same thing tonight and thanks for the English
Thanks Gary 👍
@@HobbyMotorDK I do watch you on stream with all the other guys good fun watching

Thanks Stella 👍🏼
I replaced all the bits and still won't pump oil. I am fresh out of ideas.
Nice video and super closeups. This time I understood way more than messing bürste and gammel 😊
Thank you for watching
Thank you Claus it was excellent, I hope your Danish viewers understand too my friend and nice job on the saw.
Now I expect to be able to eat off that nasty trashy work bench the next time we see it. 🤣👍
Thanks John 😃👍🏼😃
Anytime my Viking brother 🙂
Which side does the oil pump fit into the chainsaw should the big hole or small hole be facing the sprocket
Got it done after didn’t see the markings

Du taler utroligt godt engelsk, har du rødder i det anglosaxiske? Det virker desuden som om du er komfortabel med det?
Tak Carsten. 3 år bosat i Californien og 15 år i arbejde med internationale kolleger. 12 år som underviser på engelsk 😃
@@HobbyMotorDK Aha, så forstår jeg bedre.
Du taler betydeligt hurtigere på engelsk end på dansk, men det må være noget med din dialekt.

Very true John
Nice video, keep them coming in english.
Thank you for watching👍
Congratulations for the tutorial
Thanks 👍🏼
Thats awesome Claus
You are also good in an english version 👌😉👍
Hello, do you know what the little red plug is on the body of ms180 , between the muffler and clutch?
Sorry I don'tnknow what that is
Breather is situated there I believe for oil tank
Good video thanks you for video
Thank you Sir 👍🏼
I’ve got a ms 181 I have the same issue with mine,which I’m about to try and fix
Great video 👍
Did you forget the disc that fits below the clutch?
Yes I did
@@HobbyMotorDK I remembered the disc below the clutch but spent 30 minutes trying to fit the clutch cover with the brake on!
Hej Claus, super video tak for det. På Engelsk tja med undertekster så gik det helt ok
Tak Gert
notch on pump follows parallel to the step on the casing
Thanks Claus well informed video
Thank you Andrew
Great video, thanks!
You are the man
Dobrý mam otázku ako sa dá dat hadička olejová
Thanks for this😊
do you sell that sweatshirts
Not at the moment, Sorry
Tak for endnu en god video Claus👍
Det fungere også rigtig fint på engelsk
Mon ikke du også får lidt flere abbonenter hvis du fortsætter sådan
Tak Frank 👍🏼
There's a much easier way than that to fix the problem
I am sure there is - but this was the way I chose to show the repair.
And well done and excellently explained, love your videos.
Too dangerous start up 🙈
Please elaborate - because this is how it is described in the service manual
