Echo Chainsaw

[Tunnelratt]

I have had this little saw for a number of years, it has been abused terribly clearing brush and all matter of stuff, the engine runs great but today the chain started binding up, the bar is fine, the oiler is fine, it seems to be the drive sprocket, like a bushing or bearing went south.
It's only a $100 saw so will probably just replace it but what kind of cool gadget could I make with a chainsaw motor, I hate to just toss it

You may just need a sprocket or sprocket bearing. Should be $10 - $15 depending on where you shop. You cannot replace the chain saw for that.

Check you bar tip as well.

How does ,what I am guessing is the clutch, come off the shaft, is there a snap ring?

 

[D'Animal]

Pull the spark plug. Install a piston stop in the spark plug hole, starter rope will work. The clutch unscrews to the right (backwards thread)

Yup, exactly what Tony said, $50 bucks,It was raining today so I dropped it off at Tony's lanmower shop , will have a brand new clutch, drive gear and a tune up, and install my new chain, I figured for $50 I would let somebody else do it my chain saw always makes me happy.

Thanks for the advise!

tourist......

You probably stayed in Nipinnawasee. There is several B & B's out there. As far as the restaurant you probably ate at the Velvet Rose. That is the only one with Armenian background that I know of, and I'm Armenian as well. They are out of business now.

Use the saw engine for a goped. I have an extra frame if you need one
