| − | |-
| |
| − | | 1||None||Crank Shaft, Piston, and Rod||Inside Crank Casing and Protruding from Both Sides||30 sec||align="center"| 2||Insert the parts back into the crankcase.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | 2||Vice Grips, 15/16" Crescent Wrench, and Leverage Bar||Clutch Assembly||Attached to Crank Shaft on Opposite Side of Casing From Piston and Rod||5 min||align="center"| 5||Clamp the vice grips to the crank case in a position that will prevent the counter balance to pass it therefore keeping the crank shaft from spinning freely. Put the open end of the crescent wrench in the slots on the clutch and using a leverage bar in the other end of the wrench,twist in the direction opposite of the arrow (reverse threaded) and tighten the clutch on.

| |
| − | ''Does your product run the same as it did before you disassembled it?''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The product still does not work. The pull start still gets jammed and slowly recoils, and the engine needs replacement parts in order to be repaired. Also, there is a hole in the crankcase preventing the chainsaw from ever working.

| |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| − | ''What were the differences between the disassembly and the reassembly processes?''
| |
| | | | |
| − | During reassembly the same tools were used, however there is more detailed work required to make the chainsaw work. This includes a miniscule distance between the magneto and the flywheel, The timing of the spark plug must be accurately positioned, and the carberator must be tuned according to the manual. Overall we were able to reassembly the chainsaw with no problems.

This Includes our work proposal, management proposal, Gantt Chart, and an initial product assessment.
This includes any causes for corrective action, an analysis of the disassembly, and a step by step process of the disassembly.
This includes a component summary, some suggested design revisions, solid modeling of a main system, and an analysis of engine seizure.
