Brand New Jonsered 2166 Will Not Start

[user 122190]

Nice going. It is going to be a sweet running machine at a bargain price. And look at all the learning being done. This saw is a gift.

My favorite Allagash is this little number they make called Curieux. At 11% in a 750ml it's better for sharing than saw fixin'.

Today's selection...

Do you get it fresh, before it skunks there? By the time we get it the hops are light struck through the green glass.

 

[Karel]

Yes Sir. As fresh as it gets. I do some business nearby the brewery, so every now and then, I get some re-stock.

So? Running?

So......a couple of months later and I am back. Lots of grass cutting, shuttling family to medical appointments and keeping a job to support CAD...yada, yada, yada.
Had to order a puller tool from Bailey's to get the flywheel off, and it was backordered. Just got it last week. And here is the culprit......

 

[Bostonstrongboy1965]

Hit it with thread locker and put flywheel back on.
Will reassemble this week and hopefully be able to post a video of it tearing apart some wood!

BTW.....
Another really good beer to help with chainsaw powerhead reassembly.......

Did you check tightness on every other screw/bolt you coukd reach? For future reference you dont need a puller for flywheels. Loosen tge nut flush witg top of crank threads take a large screwdriver lightly wedge up on the handle and give the crank a good smack with a brass hammer. If no brass glue a piece of hardwood to any hammer you have and hit it with that. The shock and the slight leverage on the fw it will pop right loose from the taper of the crank easy.

Yep. Torqued all that I could see.
Regarding the flywheel puller.....
Used your method in the past, and it did not go well. Maybe I am too heavy handed, but actually broke a flywheel that way. I have heard others here allude to the same thing. I guess if I had a better touch, the result may have been different. This saw is almost new and I did not want to take a chance.
I am no engineer, but I just don't like lateral or uneven forces applied to a shaft. This thing was about 30 bucks and came with a slew of accessories to pull a lot of stuff. Worked like a charm!

I have done it with a brass hammer as well, it worked but I was nervous doing it. I like pullers much better.

If you are near a city with several Automotive Parts Stores, you can often rent such things.

What a great find! Will you be doing the 2172 conversion?
