all sorted, the worm gear replaced and doing well. the chain oil consumption went down, with fully unscrewed it only takes 1/3 of the oil tank per full tank of petrol. is it as it should be. many thanks to all

Wow, you guys know it all. Unfortunately, I had to go to a local service to take the clutch out, it was well on. "check the hole at the back that mates up with the pick up pipe, they are often blocked when the filters been off and any comtamination will cause the plastic drive to strip again." I did check and clean that hole and flushed petrol through it, now it is clean, there were plastic debry from black drive/worm gear everywhere. I also found out that blown air would travel freely through these holes only when the oil flow regulating bolt undone fully. But the saw casing does not allow for this bolt to be undone that much? Which bit is the pump I take it is the flat square aluminium part on the above picture so called "oiler" by in the US? Still don't know how to put that filter on the pipe without opening the oil chamber?

Oh, yes I have found out on US ebay the plastic bit that lost its thread. It is called WORM GEAR and its thread crosses with a thread of the bolt that is inside of oiler. That bolt regulates flow of chain oil. It is a black piece on the attached photo, the thread is on the opposite/unseen here side. It is part no.: 503 55 75 - 01 < worm gear. Has anyone got any idea where I can get this part relatively fast please. Thank you again. Oliver

Finally managed to get the clutch off. Cleaned all channels very well and discovered that on the black plastic washer thread is gone/worn out. I am not sure what role this washer plays? Could it be a pump? It sits on clutch's axis below the sprocket and its thread crosses with thread of the bolt which is responsible for regulating flow of chain oil. If it makes any sense. Since clearing the channels didn't help I think I need to replace the plastic washer. Until then the Husky 395 needs to sit idle. I am still in the dark. Many thanks, I would be very grateful for any more tips. Oliver

Many thanks 3dogs. All the best.

Blowing didn't work. 3dogs- I tried twice putting a piece of rope through the spark plug hole to block the piston. On both occasions it got cut inside as I turned the clutch and I had to take the piston out to find the missing end of the rope. What do you mean by piston stop? Can I just put a thick metal bar through the plug hole? On the clutch there are arrows pointing clockwise with OFF on it. I take it this is the direction I have to turn the clutch to turn it off? Thanks again. I has become an epic. Oliver:

thanks but it didn't work.

Thanks a lot for understanding the problem. I have never taken clutch out. Had a look at it and it shows the off direction. I guess I need to take off the caseing from where the cooling fan is (ie. the other side of the chainsaw) and hold/immobilise the fan to turn off the clutch? At the moment it is turning the engine when I turn the clutch. Anything else, I am just worried not to brake anything. Thanks again. Oliver

Hello, My 395 is not getting chain oil on the chain. I cleaned all that I could, including running petrol through oli chamber. There was lot of flaky hard dirt inside of the oil chamber and the small filter was not on the plastic pipe that is ment to suck oil out of the chamber. The chain oil however shoots out of the whole right above the chain tensioning nut (the hole closest to the right on the attached photo, with the groove going down). It should be coming out of the hole that has groove going upwards. I went to a local repair shop and they said to wait for 10 working days before they find out what is wrong. I am tempted to get inside of it but a bit affraid as I have not got the manual. Any ideas, please. Many thanks Oliver

cool, thanks oliver

Hello everyone My name is Oliver and I am new to the forum. Time for me has come to get a portable sawmill. I looked at my options and found two candidates. Could anyone advise please how these two compare. My major concern is Logster Pro. How good is it? Thanks for help. Oliver:001_smile:
