Didn't measure It,but with new bearing and pin it's VERY tight,I almost tough the needle bearing wasn't correct,no movement in any direction,lol!

Hello everyone! I'm in the process of repairing a forestal saw, STIHL FS550,destroyed by an air leak. Today while reinstalling the crankshaft I've seen that the upper hole where the piston pin goes,it's not very round,but It seem like on side is bigger than the other. In the photo you can see...

Update, master reset and firmware update,saw is running perfect now,carb setting was like 75-73 for L and H,seems right.I Will run It like I stole It,if It grenade itself it's done

The intake seem tight,i will check later this week,the sound It make seems like its missing power from the coil,because at wot the rpm goes up and down. I'll try It better today and maybe make a video

New update Got bearings in,new gaskets,new fuel filter,cleaned everything with Ultrasonic cleaner. Saw start very good,idle well,but when I push the throttle at wot,It bogs down then spool up,hesistating a bit to reach the max rpm. I've tried to reset the carb by doing 3 long cuts at full open...

Here we go guys, don't know if it's because the bearing have the cage destroyed,but the crank is VERY stiff to turn,seem almost like a stuck bearing,but in reality the bearings seems to turn very smooth,sooooo I will proceed with new bearings and everything,will keep you updated. Bearings inside...

Will see how It is when It come and then try your method,I don't start from a precise side,one thing to note is that with the puller I don't heat the case halves,will heat them from now on. I do small taps to relieve the tension and move It inside the crankcase

I haven't seen It mentioned but,you can't go wrong with Optrels too,speedglass are top notch. We are using the new Panoramaxx Hybrid for laser welding and the clarity is stunning,in light state they are almost like a clear glass,with some added tint. This can be a cons if you weld in highly...

That's exactly how I usually install them,or by using the puller,then i blow the crank with copper hammer until it's right in the middle of the case by measuring with feeler gauge,check for free spin and if it's a little bit hard to turn I smack It to the most free turnover,when It come to me I...

Sorry I don't know how to multi-quote in one message,but this is something I tought,infact I already have new bearings,can be worth one last try with tension relieving of the crankshaft. You only blow It on the sides until It move freely or you measure the distance of the crankshaft shoulders...

Short block is crankcase and crankshaft already assembled by factory and full new This is what I want to do because the price is really low for Short block ~200€ here,not bad paying that price to get an almost new 550mk2 then 😅

Hi I've got a 550 Mk 2 with broken bearings,the owner already changed It two times,the clutch side keep shattering after 20 minutes of light work,note the nylon cage is shattering not melting,using original Husqvarna bearings BB1-3023. He gifted to me and I'm waiting for the delivery,he had...

Updated: the bearing was put with Loctite 638,cured for 2 week now,pocket was pitted and bearing got in with a bit of hammering,later this week I will try to close It and see if it hold the pressure of the crankshaft while closing the 2 case. If It don't move,we are good to go! Btw this saw it's...

Ok guys,I'm splitting a 560xpg,year 2015 that have a trashed cylinder and piston. When searching for cylinders and bearings,they list 2 differents crankshaft,with different bearings,and a different cylinder with a dished or pop up piston,It change from pre-2020 to post-2020 It seems. Can I use...

If It works like dirtbikes I was told that they "wake" themselfes everytime you kick the starter pedal, it's likely the same for chainsaw,the chip starts regulating the fuel as soon as energy turn it on. Regarding the Memory and adjustmen storage I think it's only saved on non-volatile memory,so...
