Put it together, started it, the chain won't turn. Is there a trick to it?
I remember you were the one who wanted to buy the cheap reman. saw off the internet, when most here suggested you buy a better saw from a local dealer.
Tried that. I can't get it to click. I'm wondering if it's me or the refurbished saw?
+1 becarefull don't engage your brake if you have a outboard clutch husky wile the clutch cover is off. I think we have the same neighbor maybe he has a brother up here lol. Just trying to get that brake band to pop back into place wile the cover is off is a pain in the ***. is a whole thread about it in the chainsaw forum.Sorry don't now how to post a link.Had a very ignorant neighbor bring his saw over a few months ago, he bought a new Husky455 and made the mistake of pulling the sprocket cover off while the chain brake was engaged. When he went to put the cover back on with the brake engaged, the brake wouldnt ride back on top of the clutch.Instead of investigating, he "TAPPED" the cover repeatedly with a mallet trying to force the brake back over the clutch and mangled the brake.Eventually got the cover back on but the saw wouldnt turn the chain.
After I managed to get the cover back off, discovered the brake was mangled, the cover was cracked in two places, and it ended up costing him 80 bucks in parts to repair the thing.
As was suggested, pull the sprocket cover off and check the ride of the chain on the bar, and make sure you didnt mangle the brake when assembling it.
What make and model of saw is it?
