Thanks for watching. This chainsaw has the worst fuel leak, I've ever seen and while fixing it, I might have made a bad choice.

Great fix. On a chainsaw It's always easier to pull the carb when doing fuel lines, even if it runs great and already has a new carb 🙂

you are correct about that, thank you Guys playing with tools.

I've owned two of the 455s. The first one was stolen but I liked it so much that I bought another one just like it. Although somewhat heavy for me it does a great job. I also have an old 36 that I use for light work. That one was from the 90s and still works fine.

Is the trick with the ATF good for long term storage, and is filling up the fuel system with it good?

@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE Жыл бұрын

what's the trick, with the ATF?

@adinko7 Жыл бұрын

@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE It is to run the engine then pour out the gas from the gas tank fill up the gas tank with ATF start the engine on the fuel in the fuel lines until it stalls and fills up with ATF and remove the sparkplug and fill the engine up a little bit with ATF so the piston rings don't get stuck. The theory is that the ATF protects and lubricates seals, rubber components and the piston rings and they say the benefit is that it even cleans your engine with the deturgents in the ATF of carbon.

@ethanmiller3935 Жыл бұрын

If they run the saw regularly, that one is perfectly fine. But if they don't run the saw very often, then that one will harden up before a new one would, I would think. (assuming the new aftermarket ones are as good as oe ones). But if they don't run it often and/or store it incorrectly, then it doesn't really matter because you will be replacing either one of them eventually.

you make a good point. Not sure how much they use it, but by the looks of it, I would say "not much"

I have run into the grommet issue on a Husqvarna 130BT blower. The grommet and fuel lines are sold as one piece, and that piece is on back order until September, as of right now. I have tried an after market one, and it was not the correct diameter. The return line is petrified and has popped out of the grommet. Do you think it would seal ok if I just buy some loose hose and run it temporarily?

Hey Eric. I would say as long as the meter diaphragm. isn’t hard, I would suggest you just leave it and not spend more time on it. Do you accept lawn equipment like if one of your viewers, send you lawn equipment to fix. Would you fix it and send it back? And keep up the great work.

There’s a difference between leaking, and the chainsaw just letting a little bit out as weather changes and as it sits. Every chainsaw is going to leak to some extent, but it shouldn’t all be gone within a day.
