In this video I show you the problem to my 18" 45cc Homelite chainsaw. I'm sure its a common problem between everyone who uses it - (the chain brake) I removed it for better clearance because it didn't work in the first place. I hate when broken parts get in the way. The guy wasn't wrong for getting rid of it, because this Homelite chainsaw was messed up to begin with, which is why the guy was selling it. I knew I could make it work, that's why I got it in a heartbeat.
I don't know what it is with Homelite, but I like their chainsaws. People give them a bad rap for whatever reason, but if you look at it, its built just like any other 2 stroke or 2 cycle engine. These machines are good in my book, still works till this day (in year 2022) with no more chain brake issues lol
