OT CHAIN SAW PROBLEM

One of my Stihl saws is leaking bar oil.
There is a pin size hole worn in the bar oil chamber from a loose chain.
I think it is aluminum--maybe not-. Not sure what the metal is.
There is a small wear area about the size of a penny with a pin hole in the center.
Would appreciate any ideas on how to fix this.
Thanks.

we use deavcon plastic steel putty for those repairs.get it at gemplers.com. be sure to wipe area down with laquer thiner first,area must be oil free. this type of deacon will work on gas tanks also. lucas

If it's just a "pinhole", and you have room, just "plug" it with a small sheet metal screw and a little o-ring. If it is more than that, have it Tig welded or use Alumiloy (or equivalent) as suggested by jeffcat.

Hi lenray,

What's OT about a problem with a chain saw? Not that I hardly ever mind off topic topics anyway.

Merry Christmas, stan

What the guys are telling you are all good ideas but as a person that has been in the logging bussines for over 25 years I got maybe just an idea that one step better as I have run into problems like this many times. There is a product on the market simular to JB weld but comes in a paste form. It is stronger than JB weld and will stick to any surface. Gas and oil does not affect it as long as the surface is clean before applying. This product is called PC7. It is a two part compound that is mixed with equal parts of each. After applied with putty knife or something simular allow about 24hours to dry. it sets up like a rock and your problems are over. Lasts a life time. You can find it at most hardware stores or automotive parts houses. This stuff works better than anything I have ever found, and I have tried everything.Good Luck.

This kid in the neiborhood had a Suzuki RM 125.
I ran into him one day and asked why I never saw him ride anymore. He said the kickstarter bolt fell out and he put a real long bolt in it. First time he kicked it the bolt punched a hole in the engine case and the gear oil ran out. I offered a hundred bucks for the bike and kid took it. A little JB Weld later and I was the one tooling around the neiborhood on the RM125.

Clean with 90% rubbing alcohol to remove oil. Mix up some JB weld expoxy fill in area. Good as new. If it is a magnesium case, you need to weld in an inert atmosphere or you will set the magnesium afire.

Most saws are magnessium or aluminum cast. If you can just go buy another tank and put it on your saw, do it. If this is part of the body you need to use alumiloy weld rod. You can buy it at a lot if car shows and the stuff really does work but a lot of care is needed. All surface dirt and greese must be removed and cleaned with a STAINLESS steel wire brush. All you need for heat is a propane torch but you really need to know what you are doing. On my McCulloch 610/650 saws you can change the front tank and you are all set. Hope your saw will let you do that! Best- Jeffcat
