That was great , better than watching TV , these days. I actually learned something. By the way , I'm one of a few people in this country that has experience rebuilding letourneau electric motors and old GE trolley motors. THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS, PHENOMENAL.

Taryl has one of the sharpest mind out there. Your memory and understanding of what goes where is amazing. Watching your videos never gets old.

Great video. Love seeing old stuff brought back to life. Wouldn't mind seeing Taryl and a hit miss motor.

I have been an auto technician for 30 years and I have to say your videos are the best, most entertaining mechanic based videos on RU-vid. Keep on keepin on.

I wouldn't have known about checking the reeds in it, Thanks for showing us how to work on these old engines.

Cutting the music out everytime it stopped running was hilarious 👍😂😂

Thanks for reminding me why I cancelled my Dish Network subscription. This is pure entertainment at it's finest. Sometimes reminds me of the Red Green Show. Thanks Taryl.

...we all admire and appreciate your dedicated "Teryl tenacity"😁 tenacity

As a collector of old chainsaws i liked this video a lot.

my dad used one of those saws for many years takes a big man to be able to handle the one of those thank you for the Memories gary.

...u r right on about callin' today's B&S products "Breaks n' Scrap-em" ...they were NOT meant to be in service for a long time these days! Thx for bringing back some nostalgia and proves your willingness to help so many even experienced small-engine technicians!

Incredible video. You're so good, I can't believe it. Gosh I like watching you work (actually, I like watching anyone else work). Never stop these videos. So wonderful. Thank you.

You guys are great, love your characters you play and the things you fix.

Most impressive as usual...you never cease to amaze me in repairing obscure equipment...keep up the good work and fun at the same time.

What a great old saw, you have it singing in fine tune again. Good job thanks 👍

You are a great mechanic. Not just a parts replacer. Love your videos

Absolutely love when Taryl mimics what people might say in the comment section...... Hilarious

I will probably never own one of these saws but I learned about 10 useful things in this video. You, Sir, are a genius!

awsome watching someone who acually understand points and sparks. a lot of people overlook the condensor and if i can get one always replace it

The first saw i ran was my fathers 7-19 Homelite back in 1959. Then in the early 60's i cut pulpwood with a 500, 700 and 900 model Homelite's. In 1964 they came out with the XL-12, it was like a toy saw after carrying the 500 series. I logged full time up till 1989, i got hurt in a logging accident. Very good video

That crancase pressure/vacuum is everything. Right on!

This was the first video I've watched of yours Taryl and for some reason it's my favorite one. You are a very knowledgeable man and I enjoy your videos man, thanks for make em.

Great video taryl it takes a special touch to get them old 2 strokes to purr just right can't wait for your next new video stay safe and God bless

Awesome video guys! I have one of these I need to clean up. This will help. Thank you!

...seems like the older some of get, we tend to get foggy brains ob where things are...good thing you are blessed with"Mr.Cameraman"..(obviously reviewing your vids is a great advantage!) ...right on Teryl..thank you!!🎉

Taryl thanks for repairing this old saw hope you will do more antique engines!

Great Video! What a find of a vintage chainsaw! 1956 was likely near the vary end of float bowl carburetor use for chainsaws. That saw would have been very limited in how much out of level cutting it could do. Old chainsaws with float carburetors frequently had it so the operator could rotate the carburetor 90° so the saw could be used for making horizontal felling cuts. I put 1/2" pitch Stihl chain on a gear reduction chainsaw and that old saw just sank through wood cutting out huge chips as it quickly munched down a log! It was slow cutting, but the chips it cut were huge so it balanced out to devouring the trees we put in on! It was fun to watch! These were very expensive machines when new. I use the US Labor & Statistic inflation calculator for giving current value of old prices. According to an economist that commented back to me that is not the way economist look back on past value they also considered how much lower average wealth influenced purchase decision. So lets that that Wasp 1956 chainsaw inflation calculated original price would put it at $3,000 in 2020, but it would be in effect even more expensive because average wealth was so much lower in 1956 than 2020. That makes these old saw a machine that could of only likely be purchased by major company.

Great video Taryl and crew, always good clean fun. I enjoy your videos, usually learn something new.

I love those old Saw's I have a David Bradley myself love it

true old school mechanic always saves us time with your tricks

I know what it's like to get an old abandoned chain saw running again. Kinda fun. Thanks for the videos.

That should be your "go to" saw when yer gettin paid by the hour.

This video is excellent 👌 Really cool to see how older stuff was put together! Thanks for the video!

Great video! Thanks guys.

Your one helluva mechanic,Mr. Dactyl! It alway"s amazes me how much smarter the old technology actually was.A tab on the point cover so you can gap the points,smart!Of course the maintainence on this old equipment is extensive.(the technology wasn"t there yet)But things were built to last!Not planned obsoleteness!

Oh what fun.. Luved watching.

I love old stuff, especially mechanical!! lol.. thanks for another educational experience with a smile. RailroadBambi :)

Good job Taryl! Many thanks.

Thank you, always informative and extremely entertaining 👏.

What a cool old saw. I learnt from this video. Thank you much

Nice to see a saw with a handle that you can actually fit your boot into!

I just love the way you say, "Poe-Zi-She-own". You are awesome, Taryl. The skits are "campy", but they are growing on me. They are getting better. You do know small engines like one reads about. Nice old chainsaw.

best repair videos around.and theres your dinner! shazzam !

love the saw. did a nice job bringing it back to life

Longer vids are perfect Sunday evening viewing.

A man's man had to run these machines and have great deal of patience an strength 💪💪💪💪💪to cut trees all day long !! Man this carb is complicated thanks for taking the time and showing this old saw because I never seen one these before amazing job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍no thanks I don't want operate the for a job

Dude....these videos are fuckin hilarious....the stupid stories, the sound FX, dude....seriously man....love it

Just think, there was a time when a real American driving a 57 Chevy nomad had this bad boy in the back 👍🏻

This saw reminds me of my father's old STRUNK (i think that's how it is spelled). heavy ol saw, just lay it on top the log and the weight pulled it through the cut, hard to make the felling cut unless you were strong, some times it starved out cause it did not pressurize the fuel tank so well, I enjoyed watching this vid, some good memories the first time I ever worked with my father.

Excellent video of the skeleton still clutching the chain saw !

this guy would be crazy to ever part with this beauty. really nice work

We used to call these wood shed saws- they never started when you take them to the woods- just in the wood shed.

I use the Gumout carb cleaner kit comes in like a paint can. I use the solution in my ultrasonic cleaner. Carburetor comes out looking like new.

great old saw repair, ive had good luck with berrymans carb dip in my ultrasonic cleaner. some day l want to put 2 of those ah47 engines on a minibike,

Taryl makes everything look, so easy!

Great production guys...

I need to find one of these old saws. Then I can make good use of my 11/32” wrench. Thanks for the video!

I like the outtakes please keep them coming!

I like how your skits are silly AF but then you get serious and do great how to properly repair videos. Good job brother!

I dunno, that brown "old lady" looking wallet looks different from the black one at the beginning. I think Slippers pulled a fast one on him...

Those old saws were built to last and always great looking

Fix it wel call Taryl keep making these videos I enjoy them all the time greetings from a Dutch small engines mechanic 🤟

Where was my Fluffy the rat noise?! I live for the rat laughing sound lol! I love it and all you do!

Excellent job! Glad to see an oldie but goodie running again. Maybe it will end up on the wall of some restaurant - lol

I love you Taryl ! (And slippers!)

Been watching A lot of your chainsaw videos lately. Awesome videos, thorough and entertaining. And gave me the confidence to work on my dads old poulan. Thanks keep it up!

wow reed valves ,,and new vs old gas ,,some work ,,i just finished ,doing a old machine ,,and customer ,,said what all did ya do,,,lol ,,i did everything ,,he said oh ,,not a clue i spent hours ,,making parts ,,welding etc ,,thanks for posting ,,but i did want to see it idle ,,the old motor ,,did the clunk it de clunk ,, thanks again ,,keep up the good work

Thanks this was educational.

nice job Taryl , I think that gave a lot of people that have some of the old saws or 2 cycles laying around how to fix the carb and make them run :)

Is it just me or does it sound just like the saw from the "red green" show! I remember it was always in the background cutting away haha

Ur the man!! Sure enjoy you and ur friends. Thanks for the vides

Awesome job Taryl, great vid!

That old stuff is pretty cool made to last.

I used to have an old chainsaw that looked pretty much like that one. I think mine was an old homelite it was all metal and heavy. I used it in the early 80's

That took a lot of patience and skill . I know that wasn't an easy quick fix. A lot of folks would have given up or got mad and would have thrown it into a low earth orbit...great job man👍

Great video. One thing about the ultrasonic cleaner solution.....I have the same unit, and have tried a LOT of different solutions. Best stuff I've tried is Krud Kutter parts washer cleaner/degreaser. Safe for all metals, bio-degradeable, and works great.

LOL, you should have a million subscribers, I love the how to video's and the comedy side show is awesome. Keep up the laughs!

Really funny intro. Nice blend of learning and fun!

Good work 👍👌 love it ❤️ super nice 👍👌,I have the same saw,darn good saw.

At least that's one good thing about equipment that blows, leaks oil all over, the bolts and screws come out easy. That point box looked mint. Even the bowl gasket was in one piece, lucky. I like the old carbs where you can actually get to ports etc.

my wife and i love your videos

adjustment screw right next to the plate and chain. Chilling

Taryl adjusting the high speed with his fingers just an inch from the moving chain made me crap myself. Sketchy as frig!

Nice project,interesting

Saw the running saw carb adjustment notice.. Love that idea.. Thats like putting a carb needle valve adjustment behind the mower blade.. What a terrible design that was... THIS IS HOW MANY FINGERS LAID TO REST OVER THE YEARS!!!

More outtakes please. That would be the icing on every video.

Love Taryl!!

It's just not a Sunday without Taryl's videos

Great video

Great video! I love the “will it run” kind the best!

I have two of these One is missing the air filter cover. The other one I thought for the past 40 plus years that filter cover that I have was so crude that it had to be home made. Now I see I was wrong. Yes these things are crazy heavy. I was thirteen when I got these I am 60 now. At thirteen years old my father took me to an auto parts store to get a petronics condenser that they had in stock. i cleaned the carb. and got it started. I love your videos

"Thanks for the saw buddy" ha ha ha ha, i am so gonna buy me one of those spark testers Taryl has,i already found one for cheap and its OEM, i like that little tool.

Good stuff guys! Slippers so funny!

“I reckon I ain’t t got no reason to kill nobody”. That shirt is awesome.

Amazing knowledge alot of your vids awesome

back in the 50s we had a sears rotary mower with a power products engine. great engine.

Nice job ...... your really good at what ya do!!👍

All I can say is thank GOD for Andreas Stihl!!.

Great video guys!!!
