    no- the 372 does in the clutch side but not the the 385 and to put your seale bearing in I think you need some guidance

    Stihl 038 AV Super, runs good for a few minutes then dies, coughs when try to restart.

    could be a plugged tank vent or the coil when it gets hot fails

    Done lots of them and have found a lot of the older ones don't fit tight on the crank- factory flaw- and in that case I replace the crank with a known good one around the shop and a lot of people won't agee with this but NWP makes a good crank- for the price of that bearing I usually replace it...

    Echo CS-590 wont idle, scoring on new piston. Air Leak?

    It is also easy to mistake the 4 stroking for the rev limited coil on that saw- thought it was lower than 12,500

    New bar smoking a lot--because of kinked chain, clogged oil hole, or too much 2-stroke?

    If you want to see to if your oiler is working take your bar and chain off and fire it up, should be coming out of the oil hole pretty good as long as your clutch drum is turning. and go from there about what was said about your chain and bar

    Help MS 311 won't run right after rebuild

    If i can't get a reading and the saw is all sealed up I will dunk it in a tank of water- doing a 3120 lsat week- turns out they were using the K crank in it and leaked out the hole in the crank shaft under the clutch bearing area, never thought a fairly new saw would have the wrong crank in it-...

    Help MS 311 won't run right after rebuild

    well kinda the way I look at it if it ran good before it got rebuilt sounds like the rebuiler did something wrong and you have an air leak- treat yourslf to a MV 8500 and it does a lot of other things besides just testing for air leaks in the kit- about 100$

    husky 435 bogs when I try to rev it

    probabably fried the worm on the oiler so its not oiling with all that heat.

    husky 435 bogs when I try to rev it

    just a wild guess but maybe the coil has lost it's brains - could replace it with a cheap china one and if it works then replace it down the line with oem

    Help on a Husky 262XP

    yup toast- might be mistaken for compresion for a half stuck piston- pres-vac test before you pull it down to see what caused that- pistons don't normally wake up in the morning and plan to die that day🧐
