Hey Tinman . . . here I am up here in Ontario and a bit snowed in so just kickin' back havin' a pretty quiet Friday nite and as I watch you, you mention that it's tonite and all of a sudden I feel like I have company and a buddy over . Pretty dang cool . I got a 266 for fifty bucks a coupla days ago so pretty chuffed to follow along. Really likin' yer vids bud !
That's a nice old saw tinman. So great you and ironhorse are collaborating with and for buckin Billy! Hes who got me into the 266xp originally. I've been running a stihl o44 since I started cuttin but since I got my rebuilt 266 I'm a husky convert. Cheers
Tinman's Lab is creating Monster Power Saws!!! You are so fantastic for sharing your wisdom with us and educating your viewers. We are Tinmanized and Loving It!!!
I absolutely love my Yugoslavia Tomos 266xp! I don't even have to brag about it being a badass, It speaks for itself! I had a neighbor walk by my house last week when I was cutting some big ol Douglas fir rounds an arborist dropped off in my driveway weighing around 600 pounds a piece! He said he could hear it barking two blocks away and no bogging down at all! So he told his wife that he was taking the dog for a walk and wanted to see what kind of saw he was hearing that sounded so good! So I started it up and handed it to him and told him to bark the throttle a few times to see how fast it RPMs. I could tell he was scared of the damn thing as soon as it torqued up in his hands and he immediately handed it back over to me and said, Oh wow! I have got to get me one of those! I informed him that the saw was 35 years old, And from Slovenia, And he would be about as successful as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest at finding one of these bad boys! And they just don't make them like they used too! I don't know if the saw was factory ported, Or if someone who new what he was doing with a rotary tool? But it sure is fun to get in the bite and watch the chips come out and bury your boots in seconds, Priceless!🤗
You’re an amazing guy tinman! Extremely knowledgeable and humble. I love watching your channel. And I can’t wait to see the echo turd saw put back together.
Fri nite in the shop! Something to look forward to! Thank you for that! Pretty cold there I can see your breath and you are still sharing keep those hands warm.❤️
This community is now its own living organism. 💪🏻⚡️🪓 It has been amazing to watch you go from 1500 subs till now. Keep spreading the knowledge my friend. Kindness and love
@@tinmanssaws the 268 is even ported it was when I got it and shes not an easy starter the 266 on the other hand has a ton of compression and starts on the 3rd pull
i’ve got two of these. my grandad give me them. he got them when he retired from the forestry. one runs. the other just needs exhaust and new fuel line.
The first saw I ever turned a screw on was a 266SE. Your fireduppedness is contagious, brother! It took me a bit to build myself up to cutting the custom hood scoop you'll need for the big bore top end to fit. I looked and looked to try to find a 266 top cover and they are damn hard to come by!
@Tinman I've been using Three Bond 1184 for a couple years and it's a great adhesive and sealer compared to the one you are having trouble with in the cold. I'm in Calgary Alberta and my shop is about the same temp as yours!🥶 Hope that helps, good luck with your builds.😉👍
Love your channel bud! I hear ya on being excited for warmer weather and slapping saws together. Got a 272 and 268 I’m working on at the moment. Keep up the great work!
i have a 266 that needs a new piston and jug and seen you post up this vid and cant wait to follow along. ironhorse and buckin are a couple of great guys
Wow, it looks like there are a lot of really cool builds about to happen. Can’t wait! And very cool of Harvey to send some parts! Have a great weekend Tinman.
Where was the light coated piston sourced from, I'm also having hard time getting parts in Canada! Any suppliers advise to use or not to use would be appreciated thanks! Really enjoy your channel and the time u spend helping/entertaining/educating us is much appreciated!
The Buckin 266 build will be interesting. I will be watching the 10-10 build closely. I have a free 10-10A I just got running and made a vid about it. Thanks again Tinman.
Hyway is very good stuff. I have been ordering direct from them, tends to be faster than ordering from the states. Weird part of being in Canada... Lol. I really need to start making more content, no shortage of 266's over here in NW Ontario. Just put together a very ugly 61/272 with a Hyway Nikasil popup top end, finger ports etc... Have a VI922 in pieces on the shelf, Looks promising with the wheel on it.
Some of those products get frozen or too cold once it ruins them for good. It can make it separate and won't ever set up correctly but some don't really matter I guess. I found some paint doesn't do well if frozen one year I worked refurbishing homes with no heat at night in the winter. oops.
Hey tinman! I've been working on a 268 for months, every time I put it together the saw fires up and races away! I've put new seals in it, new gaskets, etc! About ready to throw the thing out!
Of you can shoot some brake clean around the potential spots for air leaks while it's running you should find the leak, the brake clean lowers the RPM if it sucks it in. Walt at Afleetcommand has a couple videos on diagnosing leaks with it. Check the intake, I believe those ones use the plastic block, sometimes they crac from being over tightened. Best is using a pressure and vacuum tester like a mity-vac, about $80-$120, if you're doing many builds or much saw work, it's a good investment, good luck👍
@@jimssawsnstuff8903 Thanks Jim, yes I am a big fan of the Afleetcommand channel and recently used the brake clean trick to find a crack in a Jonsered 70E intake manifold(also plastic)... I really wonder if I have the crank seals in correctly. Will see if I can test it but the saw goes straight to practically max RPMs and I don't want to blow it up. Has a nice OEM gilardoni open port cylinder on it.
IS THAT PISTON FROM DOMINANT ,I KNOW WISECO MAKES THEM ,LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BUILD I LOVE THE COMODARY BETWEEN ALL THE CHANNELS HELPING EACH OTHER OUT ,BUCKIN ,TINMAN,NICK PIXEL,IRONHORSE, BELLHOPPER ,TAZMAN, ONE BIG FAMILY 😁😁😁👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 BE SAFE AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

Great to see you building buckin a saw.thanks to IRONHORSE got some nice parts to use.been missing Harvey lately. I'm an ironhorse type of guy..hes the best bullshitter...lol.
Holy s***...tinman your going to be busy ...ive never held a wisco piston , you mentioned windows . the cut away sides would feed the transfers sufficiently yes/no...
922 ported vs pro mac 800 ported showdown?!?!?! Those Hyway parts are very nice. I've got a muffler that's my take on the Ironhorse style muffler for a 272. It's a little crazy looking. I will email you about it.
That little shiny spot on the bottom of the intake side is normal for even a brand new saw. it happens during test run start up on all saws. That piston you're looking at would be considered nearly new without the little scuff on the exhaust side. It clearly has all the machining lines indicating zero wear and no rocking whatsoever. If you're going to give lessons then please don't mislead people with bad info.
Hi Tinman Tim Staff here I have a pro Mac 1010 A I was wondering if you would like to work on Her really go through it port it and replace every thing it needs
