chainsaw stripped what are people using to clean off oil and tree sap

trying to find thread size on crank (both sides) 162 husqvarna

thks guys..it is an old saw thats not running so i need to rebuild anyway just thought 288 might be better for the rebuild.. i am new to this stuff

i have husqvarna 181 that i would like to convert over to a husky 288. is there a recommended piston and cylinder size? Thanks:) i want to use it for milling boards

It was weird I was milling a board saw was idling and revving good but no power when it was working. Then I thought it was hot on clutch side so I shut it off. Took brake bar and chain off then the muffler. Piston looked ok to me so tried compression test. But with pull cord could only get one...

I will replace bearings seals o rings x ring piston with ring and all gaskets..plus plastic worm gear for oiler.. not sure if thats everything I should do but its a start..lol

ok.. thanks

is everything interchangeable on 61 and 162 husky?

ok i will check piston.. thanks for the help it is much appreciated .. i will post again but might be awhile trying to finish haying

i was going to ask what compression should be.. maybe i will get a piston and ring also

thanks very much. i figured i would end up splitting the case.. so will do bearings and seals and check cylinder and piston to be sure..

i did pull muffler and piston looked fine to my untrained eye i figured with compression at 150 it might be ok

finally got to look at husqvarna 162.. did compression test was showing 150..so then i pulled oil pump seal was torn and spring was out so then i checked flywheel side that seal was shot also.. wondering should i just do seals or seals and bearings...help..thanks

i believe they are a chainsaw whip. they mount under the throttle handle. they use them when cutting 8 ft pulp wood. tip of chain to end of whip would be 4 ft so measure twice and cut

was milling boards with my 162 when it got hot on clutch side it seems. it would rev good but under loads it dies out. i pulled muffler off to see piston looks good to my untrained eye. pulled plug to do compression test but can only get one turn on motor then seems to lock up but it turns...
