2 Garbage Picked Chainsaws - Will They Run??

In "Slippers & The Garbage Picked Chainsaws", Taryl goes over these 2 garbage-picked chainsaws that Slippers just grabbed out of Taryl's dumpster. Will they run?? They're pretty far gone so we'll see if they're even worth getting running or if they should indeed just stay in the garbage.

Taryl, this video was posted a while back, I hope that you see this note. I appreciate how detailed your videos are, especially the little nuances. My experience is that you can find how to videos on KZbin for anything, I also do a lot of online training for my job in IT. it is rare to find presenters who have a lifetime of experience, recognize their audience and the ability to explain it well to them. The thing that you do better than most presenters, regardless of the subject matter, is that you are very comfortable with cameras. Your delivery is very natural, it makes the viewer feel like they are in the room with you having a casual conversation while you are going about your work. Your "how I do this" messages are solid, what you do really well is say why. Things like "Let gravity work", your little hook tool are both things that I ultimately realised, I eventually made a tool similar to yours but I will never get back the hours that I spent trying to fish fuel filters, broken lines and debris out of tanks. When you say when to use Hardware store parts vs OEM, why you blew out the oil line before putting it back and saying to make sure you have clean hands when changing fuel filter are great examples of why you do things, they're based on a career of trial and error and most importantly, you having to repair equipment that people did not maintain of repair properly. One of ny my biggest struggles is light, that magnetic one looks like it would like it would be a huge help. I will have to see if Dennis ships to Canada. I doubt that you realize how much preventative things people learn from your delivery method. Just wanted to say thanks, keep 'em coming.

[@stevebrueggen800]

Hey Taryl, I worked for a homelite and Jonsered dealer for 40 years. We had a 6 in bench vice mounted on one corner. With the bar on the saw I would clamp it in the vice and it would hold it for much of the carbetrator work. Much more convenient than chasing it on the bench as you are trying to work on it. Also it makes one hand available to operate choke/ throttle while starting. But you probably know all this. Just my observation. I loved working on saws. I saw my share of the insides of fuel systems. Thanks for sharing your tricks and knowledge. We are never too smart or old to learn. 👍😃

[@jamessell741]

I like the vise in the corner 💡 idea.

[@TerryLawrence001]

Back when VCRs were a thing, I had to mark every unit I touched. After I condemned a VCR or other appliance, customers would resell them at garage sales or trash them and the new owner/trash picker would come in with it. I learned to always date stamp and initial every chassis that I open with a small engraver. If I suspected I had already condemned something and it circled back, I quoted a flat 30 buck no repair fee before I took it in. That almost always stopped it from coming back.

Hi Taryl, I've really had bad experiences with the fuel and oil hoses for this saw model from after market. These hoses are sealing directly in the main plastic tank housing. In my case the aftermarket hoses did have a smaller diameter at the sealing surface compared to the original. --> caused leakage of course. I recommend original parts in that case. Hope your fuel line fits better.. Best wishes Marco

[@3gcraftsman]

I agree this model is problematic. I had an almost new one given to me, because it sucked and they were ready to trash it. I did a bunch of work to it and got running, but it still gives me problems.

[@douglasgreen9556]

These saws have been called throw away saws for many years. If you can’t fix them yourself it’s cheaper to throw it away and buy a new one rather than pay someone to fix it. That first saw he fixed would have cost someone around $400 for parts and labor at the very least if taken to a saw shop. Throw it away and buy a bigger new model for for that much money. But for the guys that know how to fix them like taryl and myself. We love the people that throw out stuf like this. We can fix the saw for $50 and resell for $350.

12:31...looks like your front/lower anti-vibe rubber element is missing(right below the front of the clutch cover)..it's always amazed me how many people think(and hope) that if a saw doesn't start, it is the spark plug and/or air filter that is the culprit..when in reality, that is rarely the case..if it was that simple, anyone could fix their own saws! 😝..on another note, I do the compression "feel" evaluation when doing initial diagnosis as well..rarely use a compression gauge..but..before I commit to doing a lot of work on the saw(carb work, etc.), I just pop the muffler off to confirm that the piston/cylinder are in good shape..sometimes, the perceived compression will fool you..occasionally, the piston/cylinder will be scored/burned to a crisp, but if the ring is not stuck, it will still have some compression, and sometimes even run(but not well), and it usually will not idle...it's frustrating to discover this after you've already done a lot of work to the saw...

[@patjohnson3100]

Those high mileage chainsaws are still going after more than their share of abuse and indifferent maintenance. I'm very glad TD saved them. He did a very thorough maintenance on two basically sound (still had compression and spark) saws. You can tell he understands these saws well. I know TD has said before that small engine repair isnt like a space shuttle launch. Still, you can't do what he does by spending your time as a potted plant. Great knowledge and skill. I always learn something from this channel.

I started carrying a paint brush with me when I'm out in the field when cutting trees and when I need to refuel I brush off all the crap around the fuel cap , if I'm close to a air compressor I just blow the saw off . If you own a chainsaw you should own a air compressor . Looks like you got a greeny weenie ( probably from Cali ) upset here on your channel about taking the caps off . Come on Taryl do a muffkin mod on that thang .

[@DugatDizzyLizzys]

Hi Taryl. When you held that chainsaw up on it's pull cord, showing it's one way to show it has compression, it reminded me of a guy that turned up with a strimmer that didn't run, and you could pull the pull cord out while it still sat on the ground. Talk about zero compression (prob put neat fuel in a 2 stroke). Also pulling it might seem like it's got compression, but I had a customer come in with 2 disc cutters that seemed like they had compression, but both engines had seized and only had 15psi compression. 2 top end rebuilds later, 2 running machines.

The local Recycle Center & Transfer Station often has chainsaws, lawn mowers, snow blowers that sometimes just need minor maintenance to bring them back to full service. The problem to get one is being there before they either get picked up or crushed. Some of my "dumpster picks" turned out to be great units, others for parts but always good material for a new video for my channel. Stay well, Joe Z

[@davidplaster4576]

I have this problem out here in Wisconsin. Anytime that people put stuff out on the road for free or whatever, I end up with it and having to fix other peoples garbage. So, whenever anything is beyond repair and not worth it, good parts are salvaged, and I make sure that it goes to scrap metal; essentially make it so it's not worth fixing anymore.

I use a Stihl MS 290 regularly for bucking firewood and storm cleanup. I enjoyed the commentary, also now I will keep a eye on the hoses. Btw you forgot to grease those bearings before putting on the clutch

[@jameshedrick605]

I have the same saw. I use it all the time for cutting firewood or cutting timber. Great saw

[@ruben_balea]

It seems nobody cares about that poor bearing and if it breaks the clutch drum will cause a lot of damage as seen in the video. I now have the large size spline clutch drum on my MS290 and MS390, that takes a 10x16 mm bearing instead of 10x13 mm and is easier to keep greased because it just has room for more grease, I use Stihl brushcutter gearbox grease since I already have it at home. It's an original Stihl part, it was for some bigger chainsaw, I didn't even know that they were compatible, a Stihl dealer offered it to me because he didn't have the one for the MS290 in stock, the drum is identical to the medium size spline one available as option for the MS290-390 except for the larger bearing hole and the large size spline shaft.

[@charlesangell_bulmtl]

@@ruben_balea Thank you for the tidbit .... a shame no part #.

[@ruben_balea]

@@charlesangell_bulmtl I'm 99% sure it's a Stihl 1128-007-1000/1135-007-1001/Oregon 38470X kit wich includes the drum, a 7T rim sprocket, a washer and a clip but no bearing and a Stihl 9512-933-2380/9512-933-2381/Oregon 37504 bearing. Those parts have even more Stihl part numbers, they like to use differen part numbers for each chainsaw series even if the part is the same, perhaps to convince owners that lots of aftermarket and used parts won't fit their chainsaws. It seems the drum alone is 1128-160-2900/1125-160-2902/1135-160-2901 Some old 034-036 parts list had both the 13x10x12 and 16x10x12 bearings and both kinds of drums, it seems they changed to the bigger bearing at some point at least for the 036, smaller ones are cheaper, both the bearing and the splined drum because with the smaller bearing they use a medium spline and for the big bearing they have to use the large spline. And for smaller chaisaws they make drums with the small/mini spline for the 13x10 bearings.

Ty Taryl------YOU are a great mix of know-how and comedy!

[@garrettstevensen2467]

I liked this video - the only things I would do differently were: 1) Clean the saw prior (so you can see damage, and you don't add more debris into tanks/intakes/etc..., 2) I would use a chinese carb, rather than rebuild one (easier to adjust, faster install, cheaper, etc), 3) I use an engine tachometer with ear plugs to adjust carb to factory specs, 4) We use 32:1 premix or 40:1 at the leanest. 50:1 is banned in our landscape company as it eventually damages saws/blowers/trimmers after 1 year of solid daily usage, 5) We never use compressed air on the carbs, as they have a one way valve that is permanently damaged after the use of compressed air - it's in every Zama and Walbro manual since day one. We have damaged carburetors using compressed air on them/in them - the manual says "warranty is void instantly when compressed air is used in the carburetor." Something about a one-way reed valve that is instantly damaged. Again, it's written in EVERY manual.

[@dyer2cycle]

..the one thing I would do differently, is at the very beginning, I would pull the muffler and visually confirm the engine is good before putting more work into it...sometimes you will get fooled by just pulling it over to check compression..also, back in the day, Stens, Rotary, Sunbelt, Prime Line, etc. were your only source for aftermarket parts..I still use them, but it is foolhardy to just rely on them for aftermarket parts nowadays...you can find a much wider variety of parts online, usually the same quality, and much cheaper..and you don't have to buy a bunch of stuff at once to make it worthwhile...

Howdy Taryl, I appreciate all your videos with the humour and very educational. I have the exact same saw the MS 290 which has been in storage. I let it run dry at the end of last season prior to putting it away. I just pulled out the MS 290. Mine is called a farm boss…. Ms290 I did the correct mixture I filled up the gas tank. I pulled the spark plug and put a little bit of premixed into the spark plug tapping. I started the saw and it ran for about five minutes and then shut down. sputtering and spitting I mean, I was told by the stihl dealer and they mentioned there is a correct way to start them by attempting to start it with full choke two or three pulls and then put it to half choke and start it again and it should go. I got it to start running again It ran for maybe a minute or so and shut down then I almost pulled my arm out of the socket, trying to pull start again. I pulled the spark plug again and there’s absolutely no resistance I can pull the cord no problem but as soon as I put the spark plug back in, I cannot get a foot out of the cord…I was wondering if there was a decompression valve somewhere on this unit which you may be aware of….. Any advice would be very helpful ! David Burnell

I ended up buying a batch of metering diaphragms of different kinds and buying fuel lin I'me in bulk since I pick a lot of these up. Yeah, I find that a lot of these. The original carb is actually better than the aftermarket. The check valves take about 15 to 20 years before they finally break down but the metering diaphragms are only good for about 5 years or less. Her silly. I'm not a fan of these clutchless motors , but now I know why these models were popular. They were built for large pieces of land or property owners who had about 3 to 5 acres. They come in pretty handy. You just go and non-stop just plowing the North 40 with these bad boys

On the winter summer shudder your also supposed to flip the rubber around the spark plug so there is an open hole for the hot air to travel through. Also check the Intake boot as it's made of the same rubber as the lines.

I always shudder during winter summer. But in Ohio we call it Autumn.

Really.. Really.. Really impressive I've seen a lot of your videos but this one truly showed your skill that was not an easy repair without knowing the right thing to do and you made it look so easy.. in my line of work the trade that I'm in I don't so much get paid for what I do I get paid for what I know

Taryl I know you read these messages , I just wanted to let you know I have a coil on my Honda 160 ( log spliter motor ) That is giving me a orange spark not blue . the motor runs for 5 seconds then shuts off won't start back up until a few min later. the bowl was clean , fuel flows good , not flooding , was giving me fits , I adjusted the valves , set the coil gap ( was almost no gap ) . still same problem run wide open 5 seconds shut off , it doesn't have low oil shut off , so I checked the spark and there was my dinner , an orange spark . ordered a new coil today .
