My Craftsman 42cc 18″ Gas Chainsaw Model Number 358350990

This is a short video about my Craftsman chainsaw model number 358.350990. I bought the saw two years ago, and used it to cut wood for two seasons. Its been a good saw, and has always worked whenever I needed it, and nothing has broken during this time. However, I do have a few complaints about the saw. It uses a lot of bar and chain oil, and the bar and chain oil cap is very difficult to remove. I almost always need to use a screwdriver or my pocket knife to gain leverage on the cap to get it off. When you use the saw and set it down after use, it will leak bar and chain oil and leave a small 1-2 inch oil puddle.

Small Engine Repair: Husqvarna Chainsaw Compression Test With Decompression Valve Open & Closed

**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** In this video I show the effects a decompression valve has on the engine’s compression. The decompression valve controls whether or not a channel inside the cylinder is open or closed. The channel runs from inside the cylinder to outside the engine. When the valve is open it allows a small amount of air inside the cylinder to escape, making the engine it easier to turn the engine over and start. Once the engine starts, the high pressure created by the ignition of the air and fuel mixture closes the decompression valve and the engines compression returns to normal.
Small Engine Repair: Homelite Chainsaw Compression Test Piston Rings Cylinder Damage

**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** The Homelite Chainsaw in this video is over 30 years old. It had a carburetor problem, which caused the air fuel mixture at top speed to be lean, and this caused the chainsaw to over heat and lock up. I was able to free the piston by spraying penetrating oil into the cylinder, and now the chainsaw runs again. However, the piston, rings and cylinder have signs of damage caused from the engine over heating, but the compression ratio is still very high. The compression ratio is close to 150 psi. If you knew nothing about this saw, and performed a compression check, most mechanics would assume the top end is in good working order. This goes to show that you can’t always assume the top end is ok when the compression ratio is high. It requires a visual inspection. On small 2 stroke engines used on outdoor power equipment an easy way to see damage on the piston and rings is to remove the muffler and look at the piston and rings through the exhaust port.
