Wonderful instructional video! Demonstration of compression and vacuum tests, as well as use of vegetable oil were especially informative. I learned the proper use of a business card to gap the coil on lawn mower engines when I was about 10 years; works perfectly on all small engines. I have a Stihl 028 Super, purchased in 1980 and used 8 to 10 hours a day, six or seven days a week for high production precommercial thinning, for 4 years. Has been a reliable wood and brush cutter ever since and starts up on a few easy pulls to this day. My regimen: Clean the saw, touch up the chain and adjust carb every few hours of operation; a sharp chain puts optimum load on the engine and reduces engine/chain parts hours for a given amount of production; proper carb adjustment keeps combustion chamber cool and reduces internal carbon build-up; disassemble, clean and re-kit the carburetor periodically. Other parts as needed. Old Stihls seem to run forever if properly maintained!

I would like to add one important thing I tell people which is to let the saw warm up for a bit before full RPMs .This keeps the aluminum piston from expanding faster than the cast cylinder thus scoring it.

@gerritvanwilligen 2 месяца назад

This is more than a little TLC. You put a lot of love there because I think most people would just clean the surface that you see, clean the carb and put a kit there and start using the saw. You made it brand new and I was curious about the hours you 've put into it, but scrolling through the comments I found out you didn't keep track. Anyway... awesome job! 👍

@thomassullivan410 4 месяца назад

My God you did such a beautiful job on that old boy I would put it in a glass case in my living room and let people come look at it.That was for sure not your first rodeo. Great job. 😀 ADD: Many moons ago as a younger man we cut and sold wood to the tourists for firewood. Very first thing we did upon returning home was to clean the chain saw. Bar off chain was set aside to sharpen and we just used gasoline to get her cleaned. Better stuff now but gas worked just fine. Gave it a pretty good cleaning then fuel and oil and ready for the next day. Weekend was deep cleaning day if we were not working. We cared for our saws and they never let us down. Stihl saws like a diesel locomotive they just keep chugging. 👍

@Colorado-Tinkering 4 месяца назад

@@chainsawace1777 I think the commentary makes it more personal, especially a relaxed style, and anything that isn’t conveyed easily via the video can be enhanced or expanded upon with your voice. Most people would probably appreciate your wisdom of where to be extra careful or use a can whoop-ass on a fastener or avoid this or that lubricant/rust remover etc. The down side, and probably the reason why most creators of these type of vids do them silently, is the fact that those who aren’t well versed in the English language will click out very soon. So there’s that. Best of luck with the channel. Oh, and maybe provide practical advice on keeping track of fasteners and other small parts (where they go) will be a good topic some day.

@jcgoogle1808 4 месяца назад

@@chainsawace1777 First time I've come across this channel. Good content,....and information in the commentary was fine,.. it just sounds like you're unnaturally reading from a script. Saying it in you're own words off the cuff,.. will come across much better,.. even if you don't say it perfectly. Or if you don't like it,... this is video,.. you can edit it,..... break it up into sections and do several takes of each until you think it's right. That's what all of the other youtubers do. They even show bloopers sometimes at the end. You can do an outline of the whole process as a guide for the proper sequence and as a reminder of any points you wanted to make in each section,... but reading it is distracting to the viewer. It sounds like someone wrote it for you and you're just reading the directions for the first time. Too much focus on pronouncing words properly sounds fake. Diesel Creek does a good job of what sounds like is ad-libbing his videos,.. but I'm sure he has as outline if just a list of things he might want to cover and I know he does more than one take,.. cause sometimes he forgets to edit them out. And they're great videos. Some of them are put together over days or weeks,.. due to ordering parts, weather,.. etc. Or Chickanic is one closer to this content.

How come you put the throttle wide open for the compression test?

@chainsawace1777 4 месяца назад

In reality I have yet to see the difference between wide open throttle and closed throttle. However, I made a video a while back when I tested compression with a closed throttle. I was almost strung up in the comments. lol. Here is the best description I have seen for as to do WOT. This was pulled from arboristsite.com "If the throttle is closed, the cylinder fills with less than a full charge of air -- that's what the throttle is there for. So there's a vacuum (i.e. lower absolute pressure) in the cylinder. Then the piston compresses the vacuum, so the peak pressure in the cylinder is less than it would be if the cylinder had been allowed to draw in its full volume." Thanks for commenting and watching.

@marklelohe3754 16 часов назад

If you don't open the throttle to full, the engine cannot suck air to compress, hope that makes sense.

How much does your shop charge for this exact same service for a Stihl MS 260 chain saw?

@chainsawace1777 4 месяца назад

This level of service is not something I can really charge a customer. Not just me, but any small engine shop. With industry labor rates averaging $70 to $100 per hour, even higher in some cases, it would be cost prohibative. The labor, parts and fees would more than likely exceed more than half, or close to it, the cost of a new chainsaw. This repair and cleaning took a while to complete.

I do this for used saws I sell on eBay and I usually profit more than stihl does on brand new new units. By doing this. 150-200$ profit is what I shoot for on mid range units. The real profit comes in the special cleaners and restoration agents I use they restore the plastic itself for many months to come. Taking away years of abuse and neglect in a few sprays and some scrubbing. In most cases the vacuum test is completely unnecessary I’ve seen 5 saws in 20 years with seal or case issues

How much time does it take to maintain and keep a saw like this clean over 20+ years? This video is an hour long and was edited down. Yes, it's more like a full service rather than a quick cleaning, but still. Over 20 years, the total time spent on cleaning and maintenance will be well over 20 hours. So it's just a matter of how much you value your own time. If you have a saw that will run for 20+ years with little to no maintenance, I think it's a perfectly reasonable option to just get a new one every 20 years or so.

So does the ultrasonic cleaner taking the finish off of the carburetor, have any effect on it?!!

@chainsawace1777 5 месяцев назад

The ultrasonic cleaner will not remove the finish of a carburetor if you use a safe solution. La's Totally Awesome Degreaser and Simple Green work great for me and have never affected a carburetor negatively for me. However, let me say this. If you run multiple cycles at maximum heat, you could loosen some of the Welch plugs on the carburetor. These plugs are glued in and can come loose if heated for too long of a period. 1 to 2 cycles are fine though. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.

My Husq 365 just packed it in after almost 30 years of reliable service. I bought a brand new one to console my grief. The Stihl you are working on didn't get a lot of care, as soon as you gave it a pull I knew it would be a runner. Great job!

I love getting hold of neglected old saws like this one that the owner has given up on. It usually doesn't take more than a good cleaning, a carb kit and other peripheral parts to get them running like new again. I once found a Stihl 034 beside a road in the national forest that somebody got pissed off at and threw away. After going through it my friend is still using it 10 years later.

Good camera and angles. excellent vid. Great talk through.

@pauls2228 Месяц назад

I have to say I don't understand what is happening here. You said it was stored a while so bad gas makes sense. Why wasn't it evaluated for the customer? I feels like a new chainsaw was the better choice for the owner (most people don't tear their saws down like this). The work in the video seems top notch - guess I don't understand how this would relate to the original owner.

@michaelbradford4444 4 месяца назад

I figure if the previous owner owned a nice chainsaw like this MS 290 he most likely has a nice collection of equipment...mower, weed eater, leaf blower ect. I bet we can all guess what kind of shape they all end up being when he gets frustrated and buys a new one. I've seen some dirty neglected equipment in my days but this may be the worst yet! Enjoyed the video and I'm happy to to be your newest subscriber! Good job Ace!

That’s my saw! Bought her in 2012 for $389 at McGinley’s in Alcoa, TN (Knoxville). She still runs like a champ. The good ole Farm Boss. Love it! ❤

Maintenance on saws is NOT difficult or time consuming. Why spend 600$ on a saw and just cake it with oil and dirt😂😂 it takes 20-25 minutes. Just take a second a clean ur shiz off after using it. You won’t regret it!

@panther105 3 месяца назад

Before removing a spark plug, aren't you supposed to blow any dirt and debris out of the pocket. ?

@TNW1337 Месяц назад

Is it me, or did your chemicals f up your carb? I'm not sure silver to black is a good thing.

@chainsawace1777 Месяц назад

No it didn't. It runs great. No issues. Thanks for watching.

You say "this is what neglect looks like" several times but why not say what should have been done. Also after the pressure/vacuum test you say the seals are good but if the test had failed you say seals would have had to be replaced but fail to mention which seals would have needed to be replaced. if the test had failed.

@chainsawace1777 2 месяца назад

A chainsaw only has 1 type of seal, the crankshaft seals. If you need to replace one, you always replace both. These seals were good.

@marlonknighton2735 2 месяца назад

@@chainsawace1777 Thank you. I am not greatly familiar with mechanics of chainsaws

"Clean every time." OK, HOW?!?

@chainsawace1777 2 месяца назад

Hey. Thanks for watching. Cleaning only takes a couple of minutes if done before you put the chainsaw away. This level of cleaning is not the norm and is an extreme case. Cleaning a chainsaw after use will help to avoid this kind of mess. Cleaning means using compressed air to blow off the saw, wiping down, cleaning the bar and chain, the oiler output etc. Super simple. Thanks for watching.

@TheReal1953 5 часов назад

If the crank seals are older than 20 years, they should be replaced as a matter of course. Cheap insurance. Lots of vintage saws were ruined because owners thought the seals were OK, or they passed the vacuum/pressure test but after a few days of work one or both seals failed.

I clean my Husqvarna 346XP Pro after cutting and limbing 100 cords of firewood into 16" firewood lengths. Keep the air filter clean (it really never gets drirty on a Husky because of the positive pressure design at the air input), keep the chain sharp and drag teeth set properly. It starts on the third pull when cold, first pull when hot. Install a carburetor kit every 200 cords. The pro Husky is 20% more money but lighter, faster revving and faster cutting. It's beautiful.

Basic Cleaning after every use is a good thing, 👍 however this Video 📹 is a very useful, as it shows how you can do things to maintain your Saw.

@AdamEast-yo8pz 9 дней назад

I'm always cleaning out my classic 010, 011 & 012s covers and casing with soapy water and then a water jet before conducting any checks and maintenance so I can see clearly (aged 65) what is worn and needing replacement. The thing that most destroys these particular engines is the Reed Valve which has come apart on two rebuilds due to age and wear, dropping into and ruining the cylinders, so I would caution any restorers to watch for this on older models. The vegetable oil bath for old plastics is an interesting addition when conducting a major strip down like this but probably needs storing in an airless container between use to stop it going off (?). I only use Stihl Motomix in all my engines as this is without the harmful chemicals that are neither good for machine, nature or man and has a long storage life. I switched to Rape or Wheat organic chain oils some years ago on the same basis and haven't had any problems since I moved away from a formula with added latex which acted like a wood glue.

@jacksprat7087 4 месяца назад

More power to those that service their own tools. Personally I usually sell mine to a service shop and buy a new one. I’m busy all day and to tired at night.

@chainsawace1777 4 месяца назад

Totally understand. Thanks for watching!

@conk8636 2 дня назад

Or buy a new carb for 30 bucks. Since rebuild costs the same. Enjoyed the content.

@scootersworkbench6347 4 месяца назад

Great video. I have a MS290 from when my dad passed and it needs a little bit of love. I was really hoping that you would go through the oiler and check it, I am not throwing oil when it's running. Your saw looks great now though.

@ronsteitz4535 Месяц назад

At labor cost of $100.00 pr hr or more this clean up would be cost prohibitive.🤔 I would have checked for spark early before break down.. Also ck oiler . Nice seeing a complete break down. 👍

@mjb12141963 4 месяца назад

You cannot seriously think someone is going to strip their chainsaw to clean it every time they use it. Most people who use chainsaws don't have the mechanical aptitude to do this in the first place. Checking the oil in their cars is beyond the abilities of most who drive.

@grizzlybear4122 4 месяца назад

Great video! I bought an 036 30 years ago when I cleared land for my first house, then gave it to my father. Got it back when he passed and looking to fix it up. My bet is it has never been broken down and cleaned. I have my work cut out for me as it seems.

@dbmail545 Месяц назад

I've never done a compression test on a 2-stroke. Didn't know about opening the throttle fully to do so. What was the complaint? Old Stihls with automatic compression releases are notorious for the ACR to fail with hard use.

@GMCGUY- 4 месяца назад

I just won't throw them out absolutely Not. Believe it or not they're the exact identical brand that you just Work done. One of them doesn't start anymore.I don't know why The weather? One starts but dies out. And the other one starts and dies out also. In all 3 of them are identical. The same one that you just worked on identical and I bought all 3 of them about. I would say 17 years ago. And they have been decommissioned now for the past few years. I'm just not gonna be taken to the cleaners. At any type of chainsaw repair facilities. Where I live because they're highway. Robbery. And to be honest, I just don't trust their work. There's too many con men out there.

@georgedavall9449 Месяц назад

ChainSawAce! Aptly named! Outstanding Job and Video! I do agree with some on earning the use of the La cleaner. Unbelievable how some people treat their tools and equipment! I will occasionally have to put a saw up if it os late, and feel really guilty about it, but know I will get to it the next day, or two. Stay safe!

@stevenroper3577 Месяц назад

This is a great cleaning and overhaul video, but I wonder exactly how the dirt might have affected the performance given the quality and condition of the seals, gaskets and filters. They didn't look so bad.

@topspeed250k5 4 месяца назад

Very thorough, you took a bit off time off by speedong up the rate but then had a long drawn out sequence of placing plastic bits in a tub of water & adding soap?? Also could you vary the commentary a bit instead of "Lets do this, lets do that, let's do this other thing, let's do the next bit" just to make it more natural & interesting. Simply describing what you're doing is enough.
