Hi came over from ironhorse channel...I'm living in Ireland, I like how you laid out channel playlist...I'll check out more of your vids in time...so many channels to keep up with takes time....
It is a 1989.i think those bearings did there job.that rod most likely going. 29 year's logging I've killed a few rod bearings. Lol. Good stuff keep up the good work.
Yes, I agree! Roller and ball bearings have a finite life due to rolling contact fatigue. A used bearing may look and feel fine but is about to give out since the subsurface is fatigued. Once that happens you’ll begin to loose raceway material, called spalling, which is probably what you have on that big end bearing. Great job getting it out of the wood and torn down before it grenaded.
More solid gold, Tinman! In every part of my life, I have always learned the most from my failures and hardships. I'd call this a success though! You shut er down before she grenaded! For what its worth, I have found that the felt version of this air filter works better than the nylon version, based on what I find in the air horn. I use the gasket between the air horn and filter too. I believe those gaskets often go missing in these saws. I've been working on your saw's orange cousin (266SE). That's not to challenge your assessment on the rod bearing. I don't believe fines would account for the clankity clank. Looking forward to seeing what you find!
The fines didn't blow the saw up thats for sure lol. I like the mesh filters on my ported 266s as they breath a bit better. The drawback is they let some fines in.
As the big end is only starting to let go or mains.... It wouldn't cause difficult starting and tunning issues as seen , don't rule out drawing air at base seal...or intake ...just my thoughts after viewing full video...thanks for replying earlier btw...
I bought my first saw at a local hardware store in my hometown. It was a Stihl .031 AV for my Christmas gift from the Misses. I pondered between a Stihl versus a Jonsered. That Jonsered ran at a higher RPM than a Stihl, making me want it more. But it , Jonsered, was a little pricer in 1977 and I didn't have the extra cash. But I still wish I had that saw, wondering if I would still have it like my .031.
I also had a .041 Farm boss with a Wisco piston and porting for power. I cut wood with that saw for years trouble free. Then one day I started it up, warmed it up, cranked into a hedge tree that was four years dead. A few seconds in the wood and I felt the saw nosing over, or stalling out. Almost lost a crank seal but found it in time. One has to know his saw.
I had a 372 build that was brought up gently and run over a month then ran great for about 4 hours of really gentle cutting before the crank snapped and took out everything. It’s my first one that ever did that and it really messed me up...it’s taken me months to get back to it... keep replaying the whole build trying to figure out how it happened. Finally got a bunch of parts to knock out a couple more so at least one should survive a couple hours...😂😂😂. Absolutely rocked my world...past 12 years never had it happen. It’s definitely painful 😂😂😂😂
I've decided that "sometimes stuff just fails". Once in awhile for no reason that kinda weird stuff happens. We've all experienced it, and yep it can rattle ya cause there's no reason for the failure.
Can't wait for you to open her up and determine what's up. Nice channel, lot's of info and the reason I recently got a 266se. Not going to port it, but might do a muffler mod.
Most 266se huskys I've run into have wide open mufflers. I dont do anything to them except take the spark arrestor out usually. 266 is my favorite saw hands down!!
@@tinmanssaws Thanks for the advice, I'll have a go at it 😀 I've got some big oak and ash coming which needs bucking for firewood and I think that 266 will be the perfect tool for that.
@@tinmanssaws my muffler has a baffle in it that I was planning to remove this weekend and then weld in a tube with 3/4" ID, with about 1" protruding inside the muffler housing. I have been having some hot start issues and had the thought that I need to get more heat out of the saw. I did see your recommendation to idle the saw after working it. Do you think I am on the wrong path?
I just came across your channel. I acquired a Jared 2054 turbo. My only Jared. I'm encountering the parts availability problem. I want to rebuild the carb. Everything else seems ok on the saw. Do you know a good source for a carb rebuild kit? It's a walbro 21-263. Thanks for your vids. Looking forward to watching and learning.
hey tinman I noticed your new fuel line on this saw, I have 4 630s and I already replaced 1 fuel line on one from my husky dealership and it was 19$ but I seen you only have a normal fuel line on this one how did you get it to seal up at the tank without the special grommet thats built in to the oem fuel line ?
Rings and piston were changed this winter. Not really any reason to re ring it at this point. The light scratches on the piston are superficial so I dont feel they will effect anything. Time will tell.
I have a jonsereds 930 I picked up a few months back..the ad said not didn't run..I literally took it home and put gas in it and it fired up..I'm looking for parts for it..I can't find anything for it..very few parts at all
Yeah I often buy saws that "dont run" amd have them running in 10 mins. Ive never seen a 930 johnny here, hopefully you can find parts on ebay or somewhere. Im sure they are available.
After hearing you had a carcus I got to ask do you sell and ship parts occasionally?? I'd be interested in chain brake same style as this saw....I got the cover and the handle.... otherwise complete saw & running.
Haha tinman ..older saws are a pain for parts.... actually newer saws are not much better 😂.. I've a unfinished 266se, 365sp, that 625 needs a chain brake, a 2150 ,2153, that's just the ones worthy of a mention...
