thumper Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I saw the tool Chuck made to pull in the blade on the tensioner, is it possible to remove the blade install the gears and chain then install the blade on the post having already installed the base?

Chuck Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I believe it is. Disclaimer.. I've never tried doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Thanks Chuck, I will let you know if it does work. You gave me a little bit of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoguzzi Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 can you just pinch the blade back to the engine case with a needlenose vice grips? that's what I did and the new chain w/sprockets slipped right in.. long ago but I know I didn't have to take off the blade.

Scud Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Glad worked. Sorry to be late to the party, but I installed mine with the blade on... then I read somewhere how Pete Roper described installing it by removing the blade first (and installing the blade at the end.) If I ever do another, I will certainly remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 O.K. so now I have the buzzzzz from the new tensioner, and the idle cough. I have a feeling it is the TPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
