Husqvarna oiler mod

[Duane(Pa)]

I might add I was real careful sealing the hoses to the pump. The inlet/outlet holes are pretty small. Obviously, neither one can be plugged with the RTV.

Since you have the experience Duane, I'll be right over to let you @ my two lil' huskys. The big one doesn't leak a drip.

I have done the black RTV goop mod on two saws now....Nice & dry!

Get the oil feed tube hole very clean and erl free.
Clean the rubber, here you can see left over motoseal. I'm going with the rtv this time.

Applied it here and both sides of the pump.


Sparingly. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. YMMV.

i stopped the oil leak on two of my little huskys by just changing the rubber parts i didnt use any sealer at all i just made sure that they were seated correctly with care and not just yanked into place like the get installed in the factory. neither saw leaks a drop now

Did you use new oem hoses? Some internet legends say the new parts were redesigned and have a tighter fit... I hate oil leaks!

I've took notice on several of these type saws that if the cover plate is banged up or warped at the bar pad it will leak behind it. A new one(if the rubber parts are good) will stop a leaker from leaving its mark wherever it goes.

Puppy pads are the answer.

When I replace with new I don't seal either. After a couple years if they start to weep, then it's time to break out the goop, leak again... time for new.

yes i used new oem parts and cleaned them really good and stripped all of the oil off of the surfaces and used spit as lube to install them. this has worked on all of my leaky huskys

Going to have to try that on my 51, trouble is I will have to change its name from old leaky to something else, my 372xpg seems to leave it,s mark a bit too much but I think a new hose will fix that one. I'm just finishing up a 572 right now and did notice that the 565's are a little stingy on oil so maybe try the fix on that one with the plunger before it goes out the door, good thread
