Firstly, my previous Thread was: Chainsaw Oil Bottle Leaking from Filter (Hose deteriorated). Fortunately with the help of Mowerfreak, AVB and NormK, I was able to work though this, and the outcome is posted in this Forum under Chainsaw Oil Bottle Leaking from Filter (Hose deteriorated), which resulted is a great outcome.
Unfortunately, after fixing the Oil Hose issue, I ended up with another problem, relating to the Internal Chainsaw Brake Handle / Spring components etc. This issue only occurred when I had tried to refit the outer casing of the Chainsaw, as the outer casing wasn�t sitting correctly, so, I removed, the cover a few times, and then I noticed the thin steel rod that runs from the Hand Trigger through to the internal Brake Safety Handle mechanism, had dropped out of the hole where it should have been sitting. With this happening, other components weren�t able to stay in place, as the tension had been removed, that held all these components in place on the inner Brake Handle. The Spring (a very strong spring) has now dropped out from where it should sit, leaving other components dismantled. Original photos had been taken, and fortunately I know where all the components are supposed to sit, but I have an issue that I can�t work out, and it all relates to the tension, and how to fit the components/spring etc and get everything back in place.
I have uploaded Photos in Gallery, under the subject of: Chainsaw Oil Bottle Leaking from Filter (Hose deteriorated) and hopefully they will explain the issue.
In the photo most of the components are correctly in place, but the Spring is not in place, and I can�t get that spring sitting where it should sit. There are three (3) situations relating to this issue. Firstly (1) The Spring has to sit within the plastic mould (as per photo), the other end of that spring has to slot into the metal pronged component. This same component has a hole that has to drop/be placed over the metal post (colour Aqua in photo), the metal post is sitting upright in the plastic moulding of the Chainsaw. Second: (2) That same metal component at the other end has to slot into another strip like, flat piece of metal which twists around another component to create a spring recoil effect). Thirdly (3) the metal strip that leads to the Handle, has a hole in it and this has to be slotted into the the other metal post (also coloured Aqua in photo) that is also sitting upright in the plastic moulding of the Chainsaw. At this stage, everything has such tension, that it�s impossible for me to have all these components installed to enable the Brake Handle to work correctly as mentioned. The photos I�ve taken, and this explanation may help further. I�ve tried my best to try to explain the situation and the photos, hopefully will help. The Yellow dots/lines on the photos are where the spring should be placed. Your support and replies would be appreciated. Kind regards, Sherrie
