It's been awhile but I would never use Stihl parts on my husqvarna, maybe a bar and chain if it matched up perfectly. I would use Stihl oil and Bar Oil, and I have read that some people swap out rings and pistons on certain saws, I think it might even be the 46 mm's, but I just go with...

Glad I didn't try it out! I got mine off with the 15mm and rope trick. Kind of hesitant to use an impact driver anyways.

I just wanted to make sure I eliminated that from the possible reasons for the saw to sieze up on me. Could have had a blown seal or an air leak. I didn't have a Mityvac pressure/vacuum tester at the time. Didn't have a case splitter. Didn't have a tach. Knowing what I know now, I might...

That was a great story he wrote up, I had the same Volkswagen addiction when I was young, but I was the guy hanging out at the parts store and they used to have these VW "bug-ins" everyone would go to and it was like a swap meet with drag racing. This was at Seattle International Raceway, must...

I would continue to do your own research as I am really good at finding stuff online, yet not so good at knowing what to do with the information I have found online! However don't use E10 unless you're going to use it right away on a big job, and then put some good gas in there before you store...

So here's an excerpt from that link where he talks about Saber oil, notice the "BS" terminology ! I especially enjoyed this section of the write up...(See where I underlined the text...) I'm still reading this and trying to make sense out of it, how it applies to my chainsaw, etc...

Here's a link to more Oil information then you ever wanted to know about! https://www.dragonfly75.com/moto/oil.html

I bet they have one at my local Napa store cheaper than 25$... And I can put some synthetic oil in there as well.

I bought Amsoil Saber at my local Napa and the counter parts guy made sure to tell me it was synthetic! It's not real oil, in other words. Kind of like they sell it but they don't really believe in it.... I live in North Bend WA, lot's of big douglas fir trees, and they are always wet for 9...

I hit the jackpot yesterday, found this for 19.99$ plus shipping...(almost as much as for the tool). This is the good one with the vacuum pressure lever and the good gauge... Check out the video, it's almost the same unit but I didn't get the kit, just the pump and gauges as in the pictures...

19.99 RONCO vaccum pump! Lol...

Hey thanks for the common sense advice, I figured I was reinventing the wheel on this whole clutch deal! Found some parts, and putting a new bearing in there for good measure. Just needs a new sprocket basically. Might need to put a new seal in there is what I am thinking. Looks like the old...

I have the 1/2" 18 volt Makita drill just realized it has the hammer drill setting, I think that's an impact as well. I'll try that next time.

I am using Oregon Full Comp Chain, "OREGON 72EXL Saw Chain (.050 Gauge - 3/8 Pitch - Full Chisel / Standard Sequence)", I guess I will just stay with my stock clutch drum, stock OEM clutch assembly, and just get these parts off Ebay, they are readily available right now! So that's the...
