MS150 CE Clutch Bearing Grease

Hi All,

 

I bought a MS150 CE for the Mrs as she's just passed her CS30, it's a great little saw for her to carry about when she's horse logging with me.

 

I've read through the manual and I can't find any reference to greasing the clutch bearing. It's an outboard clutch, and I assume I can just pump grease into the central hole like I do with my 560xp, but thought I'd check here before trying it! Anyone have any experience of these?

 

Cheers,

 

Matt

I've never greased clutch bearings .

 

It certainly pays to on the newer stihls as some use a plastic caged bearing which when dry heats up and melts or breaks up.

 

As for the 150 ive not worked on one so unsure whether there is a hole in the crank to allow grease thru into the bearing. If there is then jobs a good un however if you cant find a promising outright answer then it would pay to spin the clutch off and just check for peace of mind.

Im sure someone is likely to know the answer 1 way or the other tho.

I've always greased the needle bearing on my ms260 when the clutch is off for weekly maintenance which I am sure it says to in the manual and I was also taught to on my CS30 many moons ago!

 

I grease my husqy through the crankshaft hole when the side cover is off. I figure it's better to grease than not, I know of husqy's that have developed a rattle if not greased and worked hard, which goes as soon as a bit of grease is applied.

 

I know they only come into play when idling, but prevention is always better than cure.

 

I'd like to grease the MS150 too, but don't want to have to take the clutch off every week! There is a hole in the crankshaft so the question is whether it goes to the bearing or not. If not a bit of light oil it is spud!
