How to fix your blown up chainsaw... WITHOUT buying new parts! Step-by-step diagnoses and repair!!!

THIS WILL WORK ON YOUR SAW!!! (Provided it is not damaged too far beyond repair). You have nothing to lose but time! It took me 4 hours total. This video shows the step-by-step diagnoses, tear down, repair and reassembly of a blown chainsaw piston and cylinder. The exact model is the powerful Husqvarna 272XP pro level chainsaw. Originally I was going to make a quick video of the diagnoses and tear down of this saw, but when I cracked it open, I decided to “go for it” using the tools and sandpaper I had. This is not necessarily meant to take the place of a new piston/cylinder kit, however, I will show you that with a bit of time and patience, you can bring your saw back to life… with great results using your OEM original piston and cylinder. I think you will be pleasantly surprised!!! Let me know what you think in the comments - I had a blast making this video. Thanks for watching!
