SO you paid $2k for a $1300 stove? Could have had a Drolet Legend III for less, which is a nicer looking stove with better heat shielding and better build quality (weighs about 100lb more), also, made in Canaderp rather than China, and has slightly steadier longer burn cycles, lower emissions, and same thermal efficiency. Hopefully nobody goes and spends $2K on a chinese non-cat lightweight steel stove after watching this video.

Nothing to it but to do it

Taped mine off, now its working! I have two carbon monoxide sensors in the garage, doors open, fan on. Two fridges and one freezer packed to the hilt, thanks for the tip!

Yeah M.T. this 028 seems like an odd ball. Another option for your homesteading chainsaw list is the Echo 590 - nice homeowner classed saw built like a pro grade saw and sold at the big box stores so there are plenty around that can be had cheap...

Great video. Thanks for the help. Carb ordered. I experienced all the same problems with a saw that has been used 3 or 4 times.

I have been having the exact same problems with my Westinghouse 9500dfc. I have had some success with customer service, but we are into the 3 rd week of back and forth and they are sending a new co sensor. I hope that works David

I have the same one and had it so far for 3 trouble free years. I have yet to find a chunk of wood it won't split.

Ive ran tf out of stihls and it amazes me how ppl trash the TOOL-LESS caps. Theyve worked for me always EXCEPT when a greenhorn false locks the cap and doesmt pull it FIRST before you fold the black tab down. I know aftermarkets leak or dont fit well so you gotta get that issue solved first I know for a fact its nice as hell to NOT need a wrench to check yer fuel 1,000 feet away from the gas oil and tool you left. Hint hint a guy that carries his own tool is worth paying for. Even better you only need it for the bar/chain People used to crank the old tool caps down and that makes me mad when i need a tool to check my fuel or oil level 1,000 feet away from the tool you left at the gas and oil station. Ill take Stihl fast caps ALLL DAY

In southern Michigan red oak will not dry if left on the ground. I always use pallets or sacrifice firewood to raise the stack off the ground. Always tarp the top with a dark tarp black preferably. Wood will dry in humid conditions if you can keep moisture off of it. Use a tarp long and wide enough to drape over the edges of a stack. If you can get air flow underneath the stack you can use a full drape configuration otherwise never try to go beyond 1/2 of the height of the stack but always use a dark tarp to cove with. Inside of a wood shed the wood still needs to be off the ground so every year all the fallen bark etc has to be removed to permit air flow. Rain in summer can blow into a stack. Snow will blow into a stack at that point you need a full drape to prevent snow blowing into a stack and warming and then refreezing otherwise you will just be putting ice into your fire box (outdoor boiler not indoor wood stove). Effort always has to be made to keep the wood from getting re-moisturized. Black walnut is notorious for water retention and is harder to dry than red oak while only having about 75% of the btu content when both are properly dried.

This is a loaded question but the short answer is one season will do it pending: It was cut before the sap ran into it in the spring It was stored in a sunny spot to dry over the summer and off the ground ( I use plastic pallets) The split pieces are not too large It was tarped only on top come fall or brought into a wood shed

get one with a battery starts every time

I would have guessed the 1 with the purge bulb would have popped off 1st but I was wrong....

I can say Echoes will always start the best for me, then Husqvarna and Stihls are always appalling especially the newer stuff. All my Husqvarna 2 and 3 series saws start within 3 or 4 pulls whatever time period.

Sharp The chain and look The rakers !!!!!!

Carb. is just as cheap as carb. kit, just buy new carb. and be done with it

You leave out the 660 pro.

I just checked your vid to make sure I was going the right way…. I used a 55mm 1” drive with a breaker bar and extension. I’ve a massive vice and bench, set it up and used a folk lift with a tonne on it. Lowered it down with full weight. Then shocked the socket with a big engineers hammer. While under tension. So yes it’s the lock tight that’s holding it fast.

Can you replace the carburetor with a factory stihl carb?

Little late to the party but those 3/16 cylinder bolts are factory

The tape didn’t work the first time. Why do you think it will now work in the second generator? Must you put the tape on before it ever gets tripped/fouled?

I too had fine dust behind the filter, only I checked mine after the first half tank. I switched the o-ring on the shaft that holds the filter from the inside to the outside and it tightens the filter down nice and snug, no more dust. Just need to remember when pulling it off no to lose that little o-ring.

Looks like the right lift cylinder is not working. The loader is twisting when you try to lift the bucket.

did you have to pull the steering wheel off?

Compression release, chain adjuster no good on my neotec 892. No other problem but the release valve dented the piston and pinched the top ring, had to scrape the bump out of the ring groove to free the ring. Got new Stihl part.

Hello, brother, I'm from Romania. Is this Chinese chainsaw worth the money? It looks and cuts great. Thanks

Brother - you are kicking butt on the DIY!

Thank you for the follow-up on your repair!

I am currently researching a potential "dump valve" on a 1975 Unimog 406 hydraulic system and it brought me here. Since we have a 580 CASE Backhoe/Loader - I am always up for watching a bushcraft fix! Hope you were able to figure out your issue! Did you do a follow-up video?

Working on bringing a NH 644 bailer back to life. The autowrap arm mechanisms appear to have gotten tweaked and the Cam is not engaged in the large rotation gear. I don't have any background of what it is supposed to be doing when it is working or what is missing, etc. This was a backup bailer for a friend who never needed to use it and it sat for a long time. Video of the working autowrap/pulley/cam would really help me figure out what isn't working. I do robotics for farming as the day job and trying really hard not to put in a gear motor with a controller to move arms back and forth. Are you available for consulting and a remote video call to help troubleshoot? You having a working bailer that is very close to what I am trying to get working is the fastest path for me to bail some hay!!!!

my go to saw for weight/power is the stihl 440. its a bit lighter then the 460 and they are just super reliable. have literally ran 3-5 tanks of gas through mine 5 days a week for the past 4 years and have only had to do regular upkeep like sprockets a clutch and spark plugs. the key to a saws lifespan is a sharp chain though. a dull chain will burn up a saw in a hurry.

Question

Just got mine at tractor supply for $999 with free shipping on sale for labor day

I have a 655a power Sterling works great until it gets warm, then i Can Hardly turn the steeringwheel. When it cools Down after a while it works great again. Oil at max. What could it be?

[thank, you for youre great helpful video]

The side you call valves is called the pump diaphragm the other side is called the metering diapharm

Good job I have the exact same saw doing the exact same thing now I know what to do. Thank you.

Good thing you didn’t need it in the 3 months of hell😢

Folks put a 20 inch box fan blowing on it , keeping it cool and blowing away the exhaust 😊😊😊😊 It works 😮

is this chainsaw still working or already broken?

What type of power steering fluid do you use?

Nice video, I bought g372xp after watching videos about it. Turns out I have a farmertec distributor about 5 miles from me here in southeast Ohio. He does a list of checks before he lets them out the door, super nice guy. Saw,bar, and chain $384 out the door. I have milled with it, cut much firewood and it runs like a champ. My ms271 gets to take a breakLOL. Sorry you’re having so many problems. I just subscribed, you have great content.

So if it doesn’t 4 stroke at max rpm it’s okay to run and leave like that? It seems like using a lower rpm and having 4 stroking sound is going to cause extra carbon build up.

i have the same brand in the 30 ton model .. i have had it for 7 years and use it for my personal and small firewood business .. its a good machine .. just watch out for the filter to vibrate loose and leak fluid and the water in the fluid from the hole in the cap can cause ice to damage the pump.. i found that out and had to replace the pump. mine also has the kohler motor on it from factory as that was standard back many years ago.

Have to dumb everything down for today’s society.

You need to clean it up first mate

Another dumb requirement for a safety feature to protect the people who don’t know where generators should be run. Then when these features fail you have to deal with it unfortunately.

Order off of TEMU , 160 bucks

I have the orange holtzforma g372xp from Amazon. Mine had been run at the factory. You could see oil residue in the tank and it had a slight gas smell. It was otherwise new. I set it up with a 20" bar and chain, fueled it and filled the oil, choked it, gave it a few rips, it popped, turned of the choke, one pull and it fired right up. Whoever tuned the carb at the factory got it just about perfect. I took down a small tree with it and bucked it up into firewood right away. Ran perfect. Had to tighten the chain after a few cuts, nbd, just like any new chain and bar. Lots of hate on these, I love mine its been flawless. I was pretty much a Stihl guy so most of my experience is from that world. This is my first "husky" type saw and I really like it. I run the Stihl synthetic oil at 50:1 with 93 octane premium just like all of my Stihl stuff uses, so I don't need separate fuel. This saw rips! It's got enough power for me so I don't plan on modding it. It's used for firewood and managing trees around my house.

I am doing almost identical to you. I’m finishing building a 40x75 shop. I got the JLG 1930 used for $2400 from an individual. I didn’t have a preference as I just wanted a scissor lift and would have gone with whatever worked and was cheapest. They are handy. Used mine to put up purlins and weld up the building. Will use it to hang lights and electrical next. Good little lift you have there. Be safe. Best wishes.
