You shouldn't be allowed near machinery.
LOL i told everyone onced before that i'm just learning on these chainsaws but that how you learn is to make mistakes and then learn from them.

I just assumed you knew the bearing wasn't in. I bet that crank just slid right into place. That beats the heck out of heating and freezing to get it to seat.:msp_w00t:
LOL yeah it did so i got to thinking today that something wasn't right so i started taring it down and then i found the missing bearing.
So i went ahead and put new 2 bearings and seals in it.
one in each side and put the case back together with new gaskets and now i have to go pick up a new fly wheel key and it should be ready to run again.

DH, gotta give it to you, this takes the cake. I thought it was bad when I left the rim off of a 288 an wondered why it wouldn't pull when it hit the wood.

A couple of months ago I rebuilt a ms360. New bearings, seals, piston and rings. Went to put the plastics on and found the crank case gasket laying in the bottom of the box. Its still laying in the box along with the saw. I haven't felt like doing it all again yet.

My latest screw up was yesterday. Cutting some trees down for my in-laws. Had a five foot space to drop a tree, house on one side, brush pile that would have rolled the tree into the house on the other side. Didn't get the wedge cut perfect. Tree didn't hit the house though!

I put the primer bulb in backwords and it took me forever to figure out why i wasnt getting primer fuel and then i striped one of the intake bolts so now im trying to figure out how to fix the striped hole
yeah now i know to check everything twice before i put it back together LOL. Now it's got new bearings and seals in it and i'm waiting on dad to get back with the fly wheel key so i can get it started and running.
