    Husqavrna 455 brake sticking

    Removed oil pump, blew out out everything and spray brake clean all over. Worm gear looked good. I put clean 10W30 in and it flowed good. I didn't have any bar oil close. Do you think I should dump the 10w30? I left it in, because any oil is better than none. I will put a note on it. I've...

    Gas flows but not oil. Drain oil again check for debris.

    No oil coming out when running. Dumped the oil out, remember to remove plug. Filled it with gas. Started it, and gas started coming out pretty quick. Did this a few times. Let gas sit in there over night, and will replace the oil and try it out. Left a note that it needs oil. I will try to...

    Watched video where guy flushed oil tank with gas, with bar off. I am going to take saw home to work on. Down to 1.5 saws which I don't like. I got one that had tractor accident. I know should check oil flow when using, buti was bad about it.

    Maybe oil pump. Ran it over white wood did see anything, that I could tell. Can you run it with bar off and see oil pump run? I am not familiar with oil pump

    Husqavrna 455 brake sticking

    Sometimes it turns ok by hand. Sometimes take it apart put back together and runs for a little bit. Some times right on bench. The other tip was 14 years old. I'll start it and see if using oil. I have oiler turned all the way up. Also seems like little harder to turn backwards. My...

    Could the studs be a little bent? Odd thing is sometimes it runs for a while then tightens up. Sometimes it is tight right on bench.

    Bent crank? Something not true? New bar, sprocket, and chain. Still tight. Sometimes will run before tightening up. I put bar and chain on without cover. So not the brake. Almost seems like chain is not running in line with bar.

    I pulled clutch off. Looks ok to me, as far as I can tell. Sprocket had some teeth marks so order clutch drum and bearing since it is apart. I am going to put new bar on . I'll try cleaning old one. I like spares, I am 45 miles from town. I don't always have back up saw. I think the...

    It seemed in consistent with how easy it would pull. I do check chain slack often. My saws get used some what regularly. How woukd I know if I damaged clutch? I lubed tip few weeks ago. But I don't do it regular.

    Husqavrna 455 brake sticking

    Actually I think it is the gear on end of bar. Very hard to turn by hand. My 545 spins easy with chain off. Cover comes off easier o 545. But brake looks released on 455. Is it possible I over heated it, was cutting big poplar? I did oil it a few weeks ago, but I don't oil it often...

    That's what I figured. No magic cure. I carried on with other saw. I'll take it apart at home and look thanks for diagram

    Ignore the part about spring and release. To much information. Brake clicks but does not release. My next guess is take apart the cover unless someone has suggrstion.

    Husqavrna 455 brake sticking

    The brake is not resetting all the time. It is staying on sometimes. Anything I can do other than just buy the all the parts and replace? Is there something that I can look at in the brake system ?

    Husqavrna 455 brake sticking

    This not I forgot to release brake before taking cover off. Chain was not turning. Cover was hard to get off. After releasing brake. I got it off. Blew out. Put back on. Worked for short time. Started when cutting big poplar. Brake lever may have been close to engaging, because to...

    Best method for learning bore cutting

    True, but maybe I will think more about some stuff. I have never had a fallen tree move on me, but maybe I should be paying more attention, to which way it could roll, and finnishing on tension side.
