Hey thx So good to see a person just get to the point and do the job rather than blowing there own horn and fucking around for 20 mins or longer. I'll subscribe to you now. Better than any guys I've seen..
Thank you so much for this video! They were going to charge $160 to replace the clutch on our Stihl ms180c. I watched your video, bought a $35 part, and had it done in under 30 minutes!!!
If you use rope, be sure the piston is above the top edge of the exhaust port before you put the rope through the spark plug hole. If the exhaust port is open, the rope can go through it and get caught in the port and be pinched by the upcoming piston. This can cut and damage the rope causing rope fibers to lodge between the piston and cylinder. I always fold the rope and put the loop in. This keeps the ends of the rope out of the cylinder, with less chance for rope fragments coming loose. To get the flywheel nut or clutch off (Stihl), you can leave the spark plug in and use the compression as a buffer to allow safe removal with a socket and impact wrench. Just blip the impact, don't hold the trigger down. This is especially important when removing the clutch. If you are powering the clutch off, when it gets above the level of the chain brake loop, the centrifugal force will cause the shoes and springs to go flying across your shop. I learned this at the school of experience. When putting the assemblies back on, I don't use an impact - I go with the rope trick and torque wrench. I think rope is better than piston stops because the pressure is put on a very small area with a stop, but rope offers a larger area and more give.
Thanks a lot Pal. This really helps. Honestly I’m freaked out to do it - shoving something in the cylinder goes against all logic but I realize it’s the only way. I have an electric impact wrench so I’ll use that for taking it off. Can I simply hold the flywheel at the other side to re-torque when tightening back up? Or maybe that’ll damage the flywheel….Thus avoiding putting rope in the cylinder at all.
@@alexpearson8481 When the nut starts to get tight, the flywheel will jerk out of your hand, possibly causing injury. If you have an impact wrench that you can adjust accurately for the correct torque, you could try tightening by leaving the spark plug in and using the saw's compression to work against the wrench. If you use a soft nylon rope that is not frayed, and start with the loop, keeping the ends out, there is no danger at all, assuming the piston is above the exhaust port. I do not use impact tools on reassembly, since mine is air driven and not adjustable. .
@@beingthere597 thanks appreciate that. How can you tell if you’re above the exhaust port? Or maybe I just move the piston most of the way to the top, then put the rope in….and then should be fine?
@@alexpearson8481 Before you start to thread the rope in, look through the spark plug hole and watch the piston coming UP past the upper edge of the exhaust port. A bore light can be helpful.
Before I saw your excellent video, this project was daunting and scary. But your description is so clear and logical that I feel much more confident now. Thanks!
Hey Bre. Old video, but I used this completely today to give my tree company saws a good cleaning and referred to this for reassembly and how the washers face. Thank you!!
Thank you. Stihl MS271 clutch replaced and purring. I used a new pair of shoe strings and tied a few knots in them for strength. Saw started and cutting nicely again. Thank you.
Now if I'm outta line please tell me, or cuss me if you want. But on the Husqvarna instead of a screwdriver to knock the clutch loose wouldn't a drift or a brass rod be better. Hitting a flat blade screwdriver tends to get klutzy Scotsmen into trouble, or at least a trip to the first aid box. Another good show Chicka spreading the knowledge.
Making this tool takes literary 15 mins, flat bar with two holes and two bolts, space to suit your requirements. I would not be banging on it at all as the shock loads are transferred directly to the main bearings and piston bearing.
Don’t know if you see these this long afterwards, but you saved me a lot of time & money with this video. I have a Husqvarna 235e (old) and the chain kept jumping off. A shop suggested it was the sprocket & no one had it in stock. Amazon delivered one the next day & with your video it was a simple fix! Thanks so much!!
I just did this a week ago on my Husky 455 Rancher saw, just to find out EXACTLY what the problem was, now, I know. I gotta get a new sprocket, and replace it. But, this video is how I learned to do this. Dirt simple, great job!
Thank you so much for the wonderful broadcast, I had been wondering of how to get the clutch off and check to see why my chain saw wasn't oiling, and thanks to you and you're wonderful channel I got it figured out, and also am a brand new subscriber to you're wonderful channel! May God bless you always my sister in Christ.
@@williamrgrant come to find out my problem was the worm gear was stripped out causing it not to turn the gear that pumps the oil, gonna order parts to fix it. Should not cost over $30
@@joshuamccord2414 just discovered is the stripped worm gear on mine as well! Problem is my saw is a Ryobi from 2007 and the part is unavailable. Gonna take my chances on a pump and gear assembly from a newer identical size model from Ryobi. :)
Glad I'm not the only one that works on dirty saws. Get the repair done then deep clean on saw that seems to work best for me. Another great video keep em coming ,we'll keep watching!!!
Once again . . . you're awesome! I just did all the maintenance on my Husqvarna 350 EPA including removing and greasing the needle bearing. Thank you! Rick
This was a great video. I just got a used Stihl ms250 and wanted to check everything out like you showed. It worked like a charm. Only question I had was the inner washer, after the oiler worm gear, which way does it sit? I forgot to look when I took it off. Thanks!
@@jaypayette8525 I've used it as as small machine mechanic for 35 years without any problems - just make sure the exhaust port is closed before using the rope.
Thank you so much this really helped me out, i think my worm gear snapped or something. Because its not long enough to fit into the clutch drum groove. Im going to look at it soon once i get the clutch off, I'll let you know how i do
Well now that was a interesting video and always wondered on my Stihl how the clutch came out even though I never have needed to replace it, but if I ever have to now I know.
What are your thoughts about the tool that comes with the Stihl chainsaw that you put in the spark plug hole some people say it can put a hole in the Piston thank you
Great video, but please treat yourself to the proper two pronged Husky clutch wrench.. I use my angle grinders disc removal tool it fits perfectly.. :))
Hi , thx for all the great videos, I wonder if you could clarify something, a guy on an Oregon video commented that using an impact wrench to undo the clutch could cause the crankshaft to twist out of true , what are your thoughts on this , thx
Alright, I suppose so. The string in the cylinder. That's new. I've had my saw for a long long time. So many stories ~ Yada Yada Yada. Thanks for this. I'll Subscribe. Not sure what this is all about but I'll include all this in my routine. OOPS well, ~ another story ~ yesterday the sprocket finally gave way with the chain off the bar and happy to have a spare sprocket. The spare sprocket has also been around for a long time. I knew this would happen. The string in the cylinder. Thanks so much. ✨🌟👍🌟✨
I have never used a piston stop on a Stihl saw, because they the a 17mm nut built on the end of their clutch. I just remove the sprocket and sprocket bearing and put a socket on the nut on the clutch and use my battery impact to remove it. It enloosens to the right. On a Husqvarna, I have to use my clutch socket and impact wrench to take it off, because Husqvarna does not put a nut on their clutch. I use the same socket to reinstall the clutch on both saws. You can pick up a clutch removal socket from EBay for about $10. Installation of the clutches on both saws is to the left, slough I spin them on by hand before tightening them with the impact. I usually give both two raps with the impact. If you do not tighten the Stihl clutch down tight you will have problems getting the sprocket washer and E clip on the crank.
@@malcommooney8086 I zing them off all the time without any problem. You are perfectly free to take them off any way you desire. Opinions are like a-holes, everybody has one. Btw, I am not a heathen. I have been a member of the Methodist Church since 1957. I am also a 32nd degree Mason, so there is no way you can class me as a heathen.
My clutch is being stubborn. Every socket or wrench that i use slips off due to the low profile nut holding it. Idk if mine was just torqued way tf down or what. Is an impact necessary in this instance?
That's the way I always heard people do it but I honestly just have the "false spark plug" tool that just has a rounded edge to protrude into the combustion area and keep the piston from rotating.
@@Gideon_Judges6 Yeah, I understand and if I'd had one, I'd probably use it too. But I've seen videos of people sticking things like screwdrivers and odd bolts in there. I really believe the rope is a safe solution. This is the second time I've used it, and amazed at how solid it is. I figured it would be spongy, but it's very solid.
I have a husqvarna 135mk 2 that circle spring on clutch broken while cutting some firewood a didn't hear it at first as a had ear defenders on it was all Bent and making a loud banging sound are they springs known to brake ?
I think I have heard you mention before that you weren't a Stihl dealer so I was wondering what manufacturer of parts you use to repair Stihl equipment. Reading reviews on Amazon for "Stihl" parts has shown many fitment and quality issues. Especially if looking for a carb. I'm wanting to replace the clutch sprocket on my MS-271 saw. Do you have a manufacturer you recommend?
Now my Ryobi RY3714 clutch not fully disengaging. One shoe hung up on the drum so when you pull the start rope the chain turns. This in turn leads to the chain moving at idle and the engine having to work harder and stall out during operation. A lot of times if I ran it for a bit it won't start up again until it fully cools down. The drum has a seized needle bearing and moves the crankshaft with it so I bought a replacement online.
How determine if the clutch is bad? My chainsaw Gets hot when I run it and it's getting plenty of oil. It also has a brand new chain on it. I have a cs-400 Echo chainsaw.
I tried to replace the sprocket on my jonsered 2137. I was turning it the correct direction to loosen it. But it was on so incredibly tightly. It came loose with a lot of pressure but now the saw doesnt run right anymore. I might have created an air leak because it idles very high and carb adjustment cant fix it.
I've heard using an impact tool on clutches can damage the crank seals. Do you know anything about that? Enjoy you videos, by the way. Very informative.
@@viperstrike3827 Yes, I suppose it could. Not sure where I saw or read that. I got the clutch off I was working on with an impact today without much effort. I guess it's sort of six of one and a half-dozen of another so far as damage goes. I didn't have any luck with a drift and hammer, or socket and pull handle.
Great tip with the rope. I just woke a old 25 yrar Husqvarna to life. But a thought: it seems to drop a lot of chain oil even not under use. Is it normal that they are always oily underneath ”more or less”? Thanks! Cheers!
check and see if there is a black hose behind that thin metal plate, just right of the clutch. mine was broken off which oil kept leaking out just sitting.
@@Chickanic I changed out the clutch and brake system as well and cleaned everything out, installed new bearings. I also checked exhaust and took a look at the piston as well as changing out the Spark Plug Changed to E3 Diamond Fire.
@@Chickanic your videos have helped me with several of my power equipment! I appreciate the Chanel videos and the education. I find myself collecting other people’s “trashed” power equipment and scavenging for parts these days!
The clutch on my ms 180 gets hot in use even though I have changed the worn sprocket what would cause this.the clutch is free running so I was thinking the oiler stuck.ans what grease should I use on the barrel bearing.
I wish that this installation worked for me I have an 038 from 94, maybe you can link a video on that song so I can actually take it apart and put it back together
Hi, I have a stihl br 200 backpack blower and it is not reving up to full throttle. I can't figure out if the carb needs adjusting or the spark arrestor is plugged.
When I get one in the shop with this symptom, the first thing I do is check the fuel. I make sure there is no water and that it is not canned fuel. If it is fresh mixed fuel, I then go to look at spark arrestor. If it is not either one of those two things check the plug. If it is wet it might be flooding out while running. If it is dry, it is starving for fuel. Then it needs carb adjust or work.

check and see if there is a black hose behind that thin metal plate, just right of the clutch. mine was broken off which oil kept leaking out just sitting.
@@JohnSmith-mg6kr - Thanks for tip - I will check.
Amazingly enough after watching you first members only live feed I find myself watching this video as my 450 Rancher sprocket just “Shit the Bed” 😂😂😂😂
Well, glad I could help!
@@Chickanic I changed out the clutch and brake system as well and cleaned everything out, installed new bearings. I also checked exhaust and took a look at the piston as well as changing out the Spark Plug Changed to E3 Diamond Fire.
@@Chickanic your videos have helped me with several of my power equipment! I appreciate the Chanel videos and the education. I find myself collecting other people’s “trashed” power equipment and scavenging for parts these days!
The clutch on my ms 180 gets hot in use even though I have changed the worn sprocket what would cause this.the clutch is free running so I was thinking the oiler stuck.ans what grease should I use on the barrel bearing.
thank you for this show have a 02 poulan
Brilliant video thank you very much.
Take note that this vid is for this model shown. Different oil pump drives on different Stihl models, like an older 038 gear drive.
How about different spur teeth count. Like switching 8 tooth sprocket inplace of a 6T
Nicely done, thanks! 👍👍
I wish that this installation worked for me I have an 038 from 94, maybe you can link a video on that song so I can actually take it apart and put it back together
what is the purpose of sticking a rope down into the cylinder @2:08 minutes? Thanks
Hi, I have a stihl br 200 backpack blower and it is not reving up to full throttle. I can't figure out if the carb needs adjusting or the spark arrestor is plugged.
When I get one in the shop with this symptom, the first thing I do is check the fuel. I make sure there is no water and that it is not canned fuel. If it is fresh mixed fuel, I then go to look at spark arrestor. If it is not either one of those two things check the plug. If it is wet it might be flooding out while running. If it is dry, it is starving for fuel. Then it needs carb adjust or work.
Excellent tutorial 👍
great video , thanks
Thanks chikanic!
wich type of clutch system do u think is better?
Really like your channel. Great info
Great video, nice clear and simple instructions. Thank you Bre 👍🏻
Very helpful. Thank you.
Old tooth brush handle works great, just put a slint bend in it if you want to, save time and money 😊😊😊
