My Husqvarna chainsaw was leaking the bar oil out when it sat. I did not enjoy a puddle of oil on my garage floor everytime I use it. Simple fix for about $25.
This was for a 435 but will work with all Husqvarna saws, just get your model specific parts.
435 Parts:
Chain Guide Plate -$5
544284601
Oil Hose -$18
5440842-01

Very nice simple informative vid.......I had damaged the chain guide plate while in a bind with a tree..........not sure I wanted to tackle but your guidance helped clear the way.

@MakerMaxCorbett 2 года назад

Fantastic!

@jeremytrotta6526 2 года назад

My 435 leaks as well, when I opened it to inspect, I found that the worm gear/bushing was completely melted and very tight on the shaft- not entirely sure that is the cause of the leak but will be replacing them anyway. Another option to putting rope in your cylinder is to use the grooves in the clutch that say "off" with an arrow, I quick tap with a hammer and screwdriver and the clutch will spin right off.

So thats why my 51 is leaking.... Thanks for the tip, & I am now a subscriber....

@MakerMaxCorbett 3 года назад

Thanks for the sub!

@MRNOBODY023 2 года назад

Seems to be the issue with all of them. I always drain mine before storage anyway

@specfever2 Год назад

Do you think these parts changed much over the course of the 372xp production run? In other words, do I have to find the parts specific to the serial# of my saw?

@dakotak31 3 года назад

I like the trick with the pliers.

@MakerMaxCorbett 3 года назад

And the rope? I saw that from someone else.

@ChrisWilson37 2 года назад

@@MakerMaxCorbett Is the purpose of the rope to get the piston from moving? Why do you have to find TDC? Is it possible to find without a special tool? What is the possibility of damage?

@jeremytrotta6526 2 года назад

@@ChrisWilson37 There is also notches marked "OFF" in the clutch a quick tap with a hammer and flatblade screw driver will take the clutch off without putting rope in your cylinder.

I've just purchased the Poulan pro 42/18 brand new 2/25/23 its in with Husqvarna and it leaks bar oil more than it should. Like I said it's brand new with no cuts on it yet. You have any ideas why it's leaking like it is?

Mine has the same problem with my 445, does not oil well when using it (will ty to clean out again), leaks a lot of oil in storage since it was new years ago, when I took to dealer (when new and under warranty) of course they said only normal seepage nothing unusual...

@paulmarkert5907 Год назад

Same here. I brought it to the repair shop and received the same answer. I am looking forward to tearing it apart and attempting to fix it now that I've seen this video!

@XxNEWSOMExX 3 года назад

Ive got the husqvarna 450 rancher. Looked similar to yours. I’m having the same issue. I only notice it leaking after it sets for a while. I’m wondering if this would be a fix for it. It’s less than a year old.

@MakerMaxCorbett 3 года назад

There is not much to them on the inside. You can pull it apart and look for damage. The parts were under $25 for both and took less then 1 hour to do. Better then cleaning up bar oil all over.

@joncarpenter984 3 года назад

Put a small film of any silicone on the back side of the Oiler tube don’t cover the hole with it let the saw rest on its side while it dries about 1 hour you can put the plate back on while it’s curing. Leak will seal up good to go. Shouldn’t have to do this but it works

@johndecksermonschurchofchr6341 3 года назад

I wonder how you rotate to top dead center it would really help one that is trying to learn on your video that does not have a clue that is me

@MakerMaxCorbett 3 года назад

You don't need to go TDC to do this fix. To get to TDC put a pencil in the spark plug hole and rotate the crank until the pencil is the tallest.

Good chain oil

@chrisfeilen8820 3 года назад

I used mine one day, for 3 hours, and it dumped all of its bar oil over the next few weeks it was sitting... Will be interesting to see if there's damage in there already...

@waterman3230 Год назад

I know it sounds stupid, but why did you put the rope in the spark plug hole? Thanks

@MakerMaxCorbett Год назад

To keep the piston from moving while I put a wrench on the clutch nut.

@RB.19 10 дней назад

Explain what is the purpose of the rope.

@markridley36 3 года назад

What happens if you don’t get the cylinder dead bottom??

@markmeeks2135 2 года назад

Absolutely nothing! You just won’t get as much rope in the cylinder and it may rotate while trying to remove clutch.

@Drottninggatan2017 2 года назад

You should not have the piston at the bottom, as they did here. What will happen then is the rope will go out the exhaust and transfer ports and be caught between piston and cylinder wall. Always move the piston up from the bottom, in the direction you are going to turn the shaft.

@Fueler Год назад

Yes it should be pass the exhaust and transfer ports before putting the rope in.

@richardvonlehe4581 2 года назад

What can you do if the piece of rope won't come out?

@magicone9327 2 года назад

If the rope gets caught into the exhaust or intake port. U have a 50/50 chance of which one. Most likely though it is the exhaust port. Remove muffler and remove it.

@richardmaizell.6150 2 года назад

String stuck in head. Tips for removing?

@MakerMaxCorbett 2 года назад

Rotate the clutch the opposite way to lower the piston.

@hiramsgrove 2 года назад

@@MakerMaxCorbett Yep, took a lot more force than I wanted to try but it did finally turn and the saw is running with no leaks. Thanks for the reply.

@big6red389 2 года назад

Interesting guess this may be my problem had a small engine mechanic take a look at my 55 said the oiler was bad but wated 60 some $$ to fix it so told him not to fix it now its dumbed all the oil on the case of my other chainsaw dont know if he he checked well anyway hes allways been pretty dang high every time ive had to deal with him so dont know if he would be able to see a problem that small😂😂😂

@dad25309 3 года назад

Top dead bottom?

@MakerMaxCorbett 3 года назад

like top dead center but the opposite. Basically the cylinder is lowered all the way down to put the rope in the hole.

@BWeezy-sw1wy 3 года назад

BDC. Bottom dead center

@BWeezy-sw1wy 3 года назад

I have a 350 and leaks like a bitch too. Saw a video where the guy used red thread lock to seal things up. I completely took mine apart and cleaned it up, compared parts and i have short oiler hose that goes to the bar and the pump outlet sticks in there. I also noticed the case has a port connecting the oil reservoir to the rubber piece. Where that oiler port is there is a small plastic screen cup sort of like a tiny thimble held in by a screw on the bottom of the saw. I have never seen a plastic to plastic part seal against each other so this is probably my leak. Just looking at a couple more videos to see if anyone uses sealant on the tin plate or oiler tube or anywhere and why not use rtv like on car intakes?

@MakerMaxCorbett 3 года назад

I guess you could use RTV to seal it. The oil hole is small so keeping it from clogging that you need to be careful. Also this is not under pressure so I guess husky thought friction would be enough.

@chagor4064 Год назад

How to get the string out?

@MakerMaxCorbett Год назад

Rotate the piston back down a little.

@traveller4738 Год назад

Mine only ran for an hour before cleaning and being put away and it leaked!

@IRONHORSE427RACING Год назад

You do know while you had your oiler assembly apart you missed a perfect chance to put fresh grease on the worm gear and then when re assembling the rest you should have put grease on the needle bearing for your clutch drum. Just saying.

@MakerMaxCorbett Год назад

Thanks. This was my first time doing this.

@marcmarin6236 6 месяцев назад

Someone here recommended putting silicone between the rubber oil line and the saw. Would this be to create a "rubber washer" around the oil hole, if it is then why not put a small rubber washer there instead? Please explain the idea behind this. Thank you in advance.

@magicone9327 2 года назад

When clutch is removed you should ALWAYS Lube the clutch bearing!

I've replaced everything on my Husqvarna 440e and she still leaks bar oil like a pig and very hard to stay tuned. I will never buy another husqvarna. My next chainsaw will be a Stihl..

@MakerMaxCorbett 3 года назад

There is that. I might do the same thing.

@joncarpenter984 3 года назад

Add a film of any silicone to the down side of the Oiler tube where it meets up with the hole on the saw. The plate and one screw are not enough pressure to keep the oil tube down in place. Allow 1hour or so with the saw on its side while silicone has a chance to dry and problem solved this works for any saw with this kind of Oiler system. I know it should seal without it but it doesn’t. Oil leak fixed

@luciaconk 2 месяца назад

I don’t understand the purpose of threading the rope

@MrTapes 8 дней назад

It’s to keep the engine from rotating while you’re turning the clutch to remove it. Without stopping the piston from moving you’d never get it off, the engine will just keep spinning.
