I don't see a lot of Jonsered saws come through the shop but when they do its no big deal because they are basically red Husqvarnas and I can easily get parts. This one came in for a "once over". #smallenginerepair
It's pretty obvious that Husky manufactured that saw, it's almost identical under the shell. I really dig your videos on rare/discontinued saws that most of us never get to see.
nice one would have liked you to check and clean the spark arrester screen and take off the bar and chain for a clean and check for good oil flow. but im sure ya did it just not showing here in the vid. greetings from good old germany yeah you have an international audience :)
Like you said, there are things that don't get shown on these videos like dropping a saw into a log and tuning it or chain sharpening. I feel fortunate my employer allows me to capture the video I get over the bench. At 8:10 in this video I'm looking at the screen which is mostly exposed. I only pull them apart if I can hear they are plugged or if I'm looking for evidence of plastic bearing cages 😞 Thanks for watching (from Germany)!
Great information. Try to stay with oem hardware. Working on a Husqvarna saw , recoil screws are loose. If totally stripped I used the holes as a pilot hole. Any tips before it gets that far. Thanks
Hi from Australia. You might not think so, but compared to here you seem to have a good supply of spare parts. Considering the cost of labour and parts here, the bottom end of outdoor equipment is not worth taking to a mechanic to repair. It’s diy or the scrap bin. Cheers
I have same saw. No shops around where i live. I can get to start when cold and run for bit then thats it. plug fouls up and wont start again. Checked comppression, had about 50lbs. So, i bought new piston and jug. replaced. same thing low compression. Somethings not right. you have any suggestion on what to do next. I have no breakdowns of the internals. i'm assuming a leak somewhere. guage stays under pressure... thanks and love your video
@@TheGreasyShopRag checked with air compressor. Goes to 150 which compressor is set at. 120 on another broken chainsaw. I did a leak test in fuel line with mighty vac to 10lbs. It goes right back down after a few seconds. Not sure if it’s related. This saw sees very little use fyi.
Hi, I have a Jonsered 2165, rebuilt carb and new fuel lines, but can't work out how to replace the trigger/safety spring? Took it out cos my throttle cable wasn't pulling the cam on the carb, but now i can't see where it hooks into the trigger> Have you any video clips showing where it goes? Cheers.
Trial and error showed the way! The spring locates into the trigger by hooking into a small recess at the front right side of the throttle cable cam wheel on the trigger. You have to hold the spring tilted to the left 90 degrees, feed it under the plastic protrusion molded into the left side of the saw's handle (inside the handle where the safety trigger goes), there is a small channel built into the left side of the throttle cable cam wheel, slide the spring end along this channel until the front area of the cam is reached (nearest the saw engine), then the really fiddly bit is trying to locate the hooked end of the spring into the small trigger recess, not on, but on the right of the cam wheel (not on the cam wheel)...really fiddly to get it right, took me hours!
