Stihl MS 271 Farm boss chainsaw Tune Up. Fuel filter replacement. Spark arrestor screen removal and cleaning. Air filter replacement. Spark plug replacement. Test run. My MS271 had been dying under a load. Not stalling out, but losing power and stopping the chain under a load. It just wasn't running right. #stihlchainsaw #stihl #purplecollarlife #fail #farmboss #MS271

Nice job, Chad. You've reminded me to switch my Stihl to winter mode! Cheers!

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

Right on! Thanks for watching!

@ryanbruner8928 2 года назад

Glad it's fixed,a saw that doesn't work is a major bummer! The old filter looked great,and when a spark arrestor is bad,you won't be able to see through it (for future reference). If an arrestor is clogged,it can easily be cleaned with a propane torch,there are videos that will show you how. Stay warm,and happy cutting!

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

Thanks! Based on how they looked (spark arrestor and fuel filter and air filter) - I'm guessing it was a fuel issue or the spark plug. But the plug didn't look too bad.

@HTPJohn 2 года назад

Very good video Chad. In the 5 years I've had my 271 Farm Boss I've not flipped the orange gate for winter mode. I have run the saw on sub 32 degree days without any noticeable issues. After watching your vid I've decided to try it and see if I can tell a difference.

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

Let us know! I do think it warms up more quickly in "winter mode".

@GrimmGhost Год назад

I keep a toothbrush in my case to clean up the machine after use. Takes up little space and makes quick work of cleaning off sawdust, even in the narrow gaps.

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

This is a great tip! I tend to wear my toothbrush down to nothing before I replace it. But maybe I'll toss my 1/2 way worn one into the chainsaw case and treat myself to a new toothbrush early! :)

@3116Cat 2 года назад

The orange bar oil is the best it don't gel up it gets thicker but when the saw warms up the case warms the oil tank.

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

I agree. I like the orange bottle of Stihl bar and chain oil better than the grey bottle

@larrykluckoutdoors8227 2 года назад

Nice job on the tuneup

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

Thanks, Larry! It's still running great.

@sassafrasvalley1939 2 года назад

Chad, glad it came back to work! I went through both of mine a month ago… it’s great to have them in tip-top shape. Just curious… does your scrench not fit the spark plug?

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

Thanks! They're both running great now (MS271 and MS290 Farm Boss). The scrench does fit the spark plug - I just prefer the extension of the socket wrench when I'm working near my toolbox.

@sassafrasvalley1939 2 года назад

@@PurpleCollarLife I was just curious… I knew it fit the Bosch… that’s what both of my saws use.

@livingrural7980 2 года назад

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

It was!

@stevenbrown5210 6 месяцев назад

Why does everyone replace spark plugs so often? In a car they last 100k miles or longer!

@PurpleCollarLife 6 месяцев назад

I think fuel injection and the fact that cars run on gasoline that isn't mixed with oil helps the spark plugs last longer.

@samb4678 2 года назад

Nice

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

Thank you, Sam!

@craigm5152 2 года назад

Looks like one of the engine cover screws is loose... you can see it bouncing around while cutting

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

You saw it! I never noticed it when running the saw in this video. I also never noticed it when editing the video. But a few days later, I noticed the saw was missing the cover screw. I had to go to my local Stihl dealer and get a replacement. Good eyes!

@stevenbrown5210 6 месяцев назад

I'm pretty sure you either had water in your gas tank or you just needed to switch it to winter mode

@PurpleCollarLife 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching!

@lovestihlquality1369 Год назад

Probably not an issue with your newer looking saw but sometimes the fuel line itself can collapse thereby restricting fuel at full throttle. Especially if ethanol gas is used or especially if left in saw.

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

It's pretty new, but I did replace that fuel line. They're inexpensive and easy to do. I do always avoid using any Ethanol gasoline.

@stephencorleymississippili4007 Год назад

I’d love to see a video on how to replace the fuel tank vent valve. I’ve looked all over RU-vid and haven’t found one on the ms271. It’s located on the top, back side of the fuel tank.

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

Great suggestion! I've never had to replace mine. Do they clog over time?

@stephencorleymississippili4007 Год назад

@@PurpleCollarLife yes, it causes them to bog down. And, you can never get the carb adjusted out.

@oldmanfred8676 2 года назад

Good information. Wonder what the problem was?

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

I wonder too. I could have done one thing at a time and determined it that way -but I really just wanted to do everything I could to get it running. If I had to guess, it wasn't the spark arrestor for sure. It was clean. And the fuel filter looked clean, as well. The air filter looked clean - but since it was that felt kind - it's hard to tell. I'm guessing it was just the gas or the spark plug. I doubt that it was actually the coagulated bar and chain oil - but I suppose that may have played a role?

@ianschulze1461 2 года назад

I’ve had good success with Tru Fuel as well. It’s a little cheaper as well.

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

Thanks for the info! Is that something you buy at a local hardware store? I don't know if I've ever seen it at the Stihl dealer near our house.

@ksa4979 4 месяца назад

Hi, thank you for video, I have a question abouth 291 and 271 differences, both have same price and weigh, but 291 have 55cm piston and 3.80hp, 271 have 50cm andı 3.60, why both are exect same weight, is 271 more durable or better quality?

@PurpleCollarLife 4 месяца назад

Interesting - around here the MS291 is about $50 more than the 271. As far as more durability - I've never owned a 291, so I'm not sure about that. I would imagine the quality of both saws is similar, as they're both home/ranch grade saws. I am really liking my new MS261 pro-grade saw. If you can swing it, it's much more bang for the buck - and lighter weight! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6moK2c9OzZk.html

@stepheng2054 Год назад

does the plug come pre-gapped ?

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

You should always check the gap to make sure it's right for your application. In my case, the gap was correct for this saw straight out of the box.

@5amdrunk 6 месяцев назад

Why didn’t my 271 farm boss come with the “farm boss bar”?

@PurpleCollarLife 6 месяцев назад

Great question! My 290 came with the farm boss bar, my 271 came with it, and I added a 20 inch bar and they gave me a Farm Boss bar for that one too.

@DaveofAllTrades75 2 года назад

Looks like that chain is a bit dull lol instead of chips it looks like it's throwing more like sawdust.

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

That chain could certainly use a touch up. I was just glad it was not dying out any more! :) I'll sharpen it up for some real cutting.

@jimmyhuffman6802 2 года назад

Take the spark arrestor out, soon after the warranty expires.

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

Thanks for the advice. I have never had one that was a problem (spark arrestor). And I thought that they needed to stay in to prevent potential forest fires?

Might want to clean screen on your carburetor, still sounds boggy.

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

Thanks - it's running great now. It actually needed a better carburetor cleanout. My Stihl dealership fixed it up in less than an hour.

@johnoceanyang5522 2 года назад

My ms271, won’t start need help. Thank you anyone out there

@PurpleCollarLife 2 года назад

Hopefully you get some feedback! Are you getting spark at the spark plug? Have you changed ou the fuel filter in the tank?

@johnoceanyang5522 2 года назад

Purple Collar Life I did all that still not start

@kenshinpa 2 года назад

Were you able to get it started? Maybe it is just flooded? Mine got flooded today and saw a video in RU-vid where you put it on run instead of choke and put your knee on the saw. Then just keep pulling and around 15 or 20 pulls it starts. Basically forcing air to it.

@johnoceanyang5522 2 года назад

Peter Fider no. But clean the carb now it work but sound kind bad

@mikezupancic2182 Год назад

Guessing your gas was bad as nothing else looked vary bad at all.

@PurpleCollarLife Год назад

Ended up that it needed to go to the shop. They were able to adjust the carburetor and it made all the difference!

@mikezupancic2182 Год назад

@PurpleCollarLife thanks for the update,,but very odd. Carbs are set perfect from the factory and it's usually something clogging the carb, a tank vent, or just plain bad gas.
