Richard I always enjoy your videos and how your break down your repairs. Very logical and work with integrity, like you said others would have just thrown a few parts on and sent it out the door but you’re looking out for the well being of your customers. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for showing this. Shows differences in mechanics. Interested in cost of parts to being back to life. Will try washing filters. Amazing how h crap blows out of tank with compressed air. Great job.
3:38 “Air borne sandpaper” is exactly right! We deal with dusty sand every time we pull the saws out and sometimes it’s as fine talcum powder. It sucks to deal with and requires extra cleaning/maintenance.
I tried the Oregon clutch kit on my ms400, had to spend the money on a Stihl one almost a year later, and your right about prices....some companies are raising prices just because we the public are accustomed to higher prices.
Always take the extra minute and make a thorough list of everything that could use attention. If the customer declines some things, and it blows up in their face, you don't feel guilty about handing them another bill.
Several great catches there👍🏻 way too expensive of a tool to cut corners! Leaded fuels, such as 100ll will also leave a white/grey residue behind on the hottest parts.
@@rooster3019 I said that in a different comment. The employee probably didn't care and the boss probably doesn't care because the saw has paid for itself ten times over.
I should have been more specific. Some dealers have more emphasis on turning equipment. There are many mechanics that do a great job, and I'm friends with a few. We've all seen equipment leave the dealership that should have been inspected, tuned etc. but wasn't. Most common I see in my area is the carb is set as rich as possible regardless of what it tachs out at and it's back in no time with a clogged spark arrestor. (Not covered by warranty and charged the customer minimum shop fee of a half hour)
Maintenance is so easy i dont understand why more people dont do it. A dollar spent in prevention is usually worth 10-20$ of whatever the repair will be
If it's a company saw, it doesn't matter who's what age. The employees don't care because they don't pay the bill. And the boss doesn't care because it's already paid for itself 100 times over.
