Went to you-tube and watched a repair--it was priceless in saving time on the repair as there was a bit of a trick in getting the broken brake band off. New parts went on in minutes once I knew how!

First Off I Set the saw on my work bench took clean rags on air blower from my compressor cleaned the saw up from dirt saw dust and old bar oil from the saw. Then removed the bar plate from side of saw backed off the chain adjuster removed the chain and the 20'' bar. Removed the chain catcher then cleaned up all the saw dust and old bar oil by doing a thorough cleaning Then removed the old drum and sprocket. installed new drum and sprocket Tightening the center sprocket nut to factory specification. Reinstalled new chain catcher Reinstalled new chain with new 20'' bar installed the saw cover adjusted chain to factory specification
Carburetor removed the top of the saw were air cleaner is located. removed air cleaner and all plastic covering once again did a thorough cleaning. removed old Carburetor with purge. thorough clean Carburetor Area. Reinstalled new Carburetor with purge W47. Tightening Carburetor to factory specification. Reinstalled new air cleaner. all plastic covering Filled up with new mixed fuel added new bar oil. after 3 to 4 pulls saw started right up did some small adjustments on the Carburetor which was easy now saw runs like a new saw. doing a thorough cleaning make life easier to when doing this kind of repair. I recommend adjusting the Carburetor as needed they will wear out if you don't take care of them keeping clean Mixed gas in them help as well. Some folk don't think about it while out cutting wood but dirt can still get in from around the fuel cap good idea to clean around the cap before refilling the fuel that will save lot Carburetor troubles and Issues. I any case I purchased my replacement parts from eReplacementParts.com and everything went as I planed and hope for. thanks to eReplacementParts.com
