Complete restoration of an old rusty Stihl chainsaw

[@TralfazConstruction]

You point out the glaring flaw of a disposable society. Well done.

[@chrisgilling543]

That was really interesting to watch, no distracting music or talking too which made the video so relaxing to watch. Amazing finished result! Like night and day 👍

[@bobp5356]

Nice job. You got that saw to start right up and it was totally re-built. I can't even get my miserable Stihl saw to start and it damn near brand new.

[@joshuamusser8893]

I’ve had good luck with my stihls. I have a 088, 881, 661 cm, 201t, 151t CE, 461, a few others… none were ever problematic. Which one are you using

[@uncletacosupreme7023]

I think the newer they are the more problems they have. It is a quality issue. I just bought a 271 and It takes me forever to get it fired up. My old 251 fires up without hesitation but it is not always big enough to handle the job. Listen at how this thing runs. You can tell it just runs because there is nothing to it. Its timeless. This thing will last another 50 years if its cared for.

[@ASMRAntique1970]

[@r.martin3494]

What on earth are you talking about? CONVERSATION? Are you sure you're replying about the same video as the rest of us! It's never a good idea to use language in a way not yet checked out, lol.

[@wizebuck]

That old chainsaw had all the indications of very little use or rebuild prior to neglect. The chain sprocket had almost no wear as did the teeth on the chain. Also the piston and cylinder bore were very little worn. Almost like it was bought for one job then stuck away for years........... although the handle and trigger say it had quite a bit of use. Anyway you did a marvellous job restoring it and the way it ran made me smile. Well done.

[@MrGamb]

Exactly friend! Whoever has used it for years has been very careful with it, thank you very much.

[@r.martin3494]

Pro's say Stihl saws are not always the easiest to start. Maybe the other brands are no better but for every 1 of so e other brand there must be 100 Stihl, so maybe it's only SEEMS that way.

[@reverend_sasquatch583]

1-I can't believe you restored the chain haha! 2-watching all that junk just come right off the dogs was the most satisfying thing I've seen

[@hasanhusan6912]

Стара добра 08S. Мој отац је купио једну такву средином 70их. Половну. Била је тешка за руковање али поуздана и издржљива. Касније смо купили нову, познате марке и користили обе, истивремено. Нова се распала после 15так година. Оца више нема од 2013. а 08S се , вероватно, налази у некој остави. Поздрав.

[@SouthPawEd]

That is freaking gorgeous! On a safety note, *always* wrap your thumb around the front handle when you're running the saw. Opposing your thumb to the rest of your fingers will prevent the saw from slipping out of your grip and towards you if it ever kicks back. Nice work!

Great restoration, love the peroxide on the plastic, my only concern would be crankshaft and gudgeon pin bearings over the long term, did you fit new?, and i would have fitted a new chain, wouldn't have trusted the rivet pins at links, however that said, well impressed with the resto.

I’ve got an 1968 Stihl 08 . Still starts on pull of the cord . Only modifications was the exhaust, couldn’t get a factory one so adapted off a later model with 3x4mm holes to get the compression right and now only run a 17in bar instead of the 21in . Also replaced the oil pump about 20yrs back . Has been consistently cutting 15T of firewood every year for the 50yrs I’ve had it . Awesome bit of kit .😊

Mr Gamb, eres un verdadero artista, esa motosierra es muy antigua, de echo tiene platinos y condensador, no es electrónica, es de las primeras 08 y quedo como recién salida de fabrica. me llamo la atención el estado del pistón, estaba en muy buenas condiciones. aprendí a trabajar con motosierras con una de esas que tenia mi padre.
