I know right. I look at chainsaws, bobcats, tractors, mowers, boats.....i watch for all of it now cuz of andrew. I mean this guy is a great honest guy. How many contractors do you meet who are as nice and smart as andrew? Loans out one of his bob cats and it breaks down, he goes out and puts new parts on it. Lady wants her island cushes cut, gets 2 boats and puts a rented bush mower on 1. Guy gets broken jetskis and fixes them and rides with he dog. Something breaks, he pulls out a cam and fixes it and shows us all how. Doesnt put tons flair and useless bait info out either. I mean this guy ROCKS. Love this guy! real mans man lol

Two pieces of advise: put oil in the cylinder and on the piston rings during assembly. re-tighten the head bolts after a few heat cycles, you will see they need to be re-tightened.

[@mitchelsallseason9359]

I was actually going to say something similar ! Something to add in as I’m an arborist climber owner of my family business. One thing I might want to add. As a new rebuild I would almost treat it as if it was a new saw ? I’m not 100% sure but I would assume so ? Correct me if I’m wrong. When we purchase brand new saws as the business is expanding we are always told to run one tank of fuel through at idle and then the second tank we cut but be a bit easier on it not bam bam bam rapid fire cutting. Give it a little break time and then third tank hammer down. I usually just idle a tank on the way to the first jobsite and she’s good to go. Always had my saws last 3-5 seasons minimum. I have a few big Stihl that we beat the living crap out of 2000-5000 hrs on some of these saws and nothing aside from sea foam in my mix every single tank. Keeps that shit clean and running great. We cut 8-10 hrs a day every day M-F

Tightens bolt as tight as possible without torque wrench “Alright. That’s torqued to spec right there” 24:53

[@Gregg0112]

I always tighten until the fastener starts getting easy to rotate. Then you no you have just passed the maximum torque of that fastener and material

[@Sokrates66]

If you are a expierenced wrencher you can torque to a ballpark close spec. Others dont have it at all and can break any bolt/screw regarding size.

[@solarwind907]

OK so with aluminum it’s probably a good idea to use a torque wrench if you’ve got one. You can also put a little blue Loctite on. Chainsaws vibrate a lot. Loctite is good stuff and the blue is easy to get apart Later.

This video made me a subscriber. I’ve been using and working on saws for 20 years, and I’ve learned at least 3 new tips from this video alone. This dude’s a bonafide genius.

[@daveb827]

Great channel! I worked construction and always enjoy watching pros. Our road crew had a couple of chainsaws from late '50s - early '60s. They had always used 30W motor oil in premix. That's probably where the 12/1 ratio came from. I used 40/1 and they ran for several more years. With motor oil, the gas always evaporated/separated and first pull, oil in the cylinder. Made them hard to start. A half teaspoon of gas down the carb worked. Both were manual chain oilers you pumped every minute or so. They were also low RPM chainsaws, at least at the chain. Kinda slow cutting. And they had hardnose bar tips, which sucked a lot of power, roller tips much better. The swivel ring on some old saws was likely so you could turn the bar sideways for felling. Some really old saws wouldn't run on their sides. I took our old 990G Homelite and put a 4 foot roller tip bar on it with a skip tooth chain. We had a lot of big redwoods blocking roads after winter storms. The 990G could do a six foot log if needed, but it was slow.

It was basically a Johnson/Evinrude outboard motor configured as a chain saw. Unreal. You had to flip the engine over to engage the float bowl, get it going then flip it back to keep it running, it was like a Merlin in a Spitfire but doubtfully that reliable. Insane piece of kit. My “X” said if I bought that, there would be no need to show up for dinner. Best $400 I ever spent! I will be watching this vid again to try & get more of my saws running again.

@@kreed835 bruh what you aren’t making sense

[@riley4073]

I'm a forestry student at Virginia Tech and I've been studying a lot about timber procurement this semester! A lot of saw timber mills usually purchase wood by green weight, and pulp mills usually purchase wood with a flat rate per truckload, both with a desired diameter range, at least in Virginia. Anything over a DBH (diameter at breast height) of 12 in is usually considered sawtimber unless it is irregularly shaped and then the amount of 16 ft saw logs are also estimated before harvesting so the forester has a cost estimate on what to pay for the standing timber. Anything below 12 in is considered pulpwood, but pulpwood can be bigger. Both pulp and saw mills usually have a maximum cut off of around 22-24 in DBH because they can slow down or jam the system if they're too big. Of course some companies do it a bit differently and for their own reasons. A lot of factors go into estimating the value and how much they can get out of timber based on log rules like Doyle. There are Forest Service researchers that help develop the equations that are used to make up those log rules and programs also exist that can help estimate value of timber with great accuracy with just a few measurements. You'd have a field day if you got a hold on the machinery they use on logging sites!

[@EFCasual]

Thanks for the book report.

[@devo9495]

In a world where “social media influencers” get followers without doing any real work, here we have someone who made us a video that lasts HOURS, after probably working on it for MONTHS, and other people are now talking about for YEARS. Respect.

[@Tomhohenadel]

Good to see your dad using that old saw. Probably brought back a lot of memories for him. Great video Andrew. That old saw looks like the one that Noah used

[@SalandFindles]

Noah who?

[@ustinman8446]

Mr.. C Congratulations! You raised a fine Son. He has a great work ethic. He's a fine mechanic. I'm thinking The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Andrew Congrats And over 100 K. Thanks for your skill And entertainment

This guy is so cool and knowledgeable. Wish we had more people like him in the world. Be a lot better place if we did. Thank you AC for all the great vids

Living in an apartment is no impediment to owning a chainsaw; owning is the easy part, using it is more difficult so you have the best part of the deal, you'll never have to explain why you can't use it properly :-)

Hi I have worked at Husqvarna assembly. We weren't allowed to cut the fuleline with a snipping tool. "Then they crack" they said. So we had a special sharp tool for that, to scissor it of, just as the tool for cutting dog's claws.

[@RBFR01]

I went into my shed and found my dads old chainsaw, hasn't run in 50 years.So I fixed the spark and put a sparkplug in it and cleaned it, fresh fuel and it runs good.

[@jameskeyes1131]

"I had a chain saw before any of my friends." Huh? In my 'hood, a chain saw was never on the list of things to have, but up to you. Great video. The old antique was a hoot. You are a good mechanic.

South west corner of the US, 8th largest city, NO snow, NO ice, NO rain, drought tolerant landscaping, I don't have a chain saw and probably never will. It's after 12:30 am. now I know I won't be in bed until almost 3am. as I know I will watch this video to the end before I even consider bed, and yes I do have to be at work by 7am. This city boy is hooked too! Keep up the good work Andrew !!

I am much like him doing the sort of things he does, I have ADHD but I find it relaxing just to fix something up, even if its not the nicest, If it works, It works.

[@JD-kg3mx]

The videos are self evident, self explanatory. An inquisitive, bright young man fascinated by the tools and equipment that builds modest homesteads as well as villages, towns, cities and nations wasn’t deterred by the enormity of his ambitions but instead says “just do it” and lives the life many amongst his followers envy, applaud, cheer and follow. This is greatness in a man not seeking the pat on the back or golden trophy of winning but simply being a giant amongst us for being himself - that these possibilities can be reality if you love what you do.

[@ChrissyRizzo]

You can tell he absolutely loves problem solving and fixing stuff. Good for him! Can’t teach his skills in college. Only experience and years!

[@denniswinspear7478]

Just found your videos Andrew......I knew you were a superstar when I seen you run your equipment, and you did the little things that other people find unimportant. God smiles on you for sure!

[@friendly1huda7]

You hooked me up for 2 hours. I never spent so much time on an you tube video before. That was amazing and lot to learn from your ez narration. Thank you, my young Technical Engineer. Good luck! If you allow me I will visit your work place someday.

I don't even own a chainsaw and I found this so interesting that I watched all of it. I guess I'll have to stop borrowing my father-n-law's chainsaw and buy my own now that I'm an expert... Awesome job Andrew.

[@Upshotify]

You have renewed my confidence in fixing 5 chainsaws I have inherited and get them running again. Thanks man!

[@harryballzack]

Can tell he does not get sponsored by Stihl! eBay and Amazon has this part for 1/10 the price of the dealer. 😂😂 Great how he shows how cheaply you can rebuild a expensive saw.

[@thespook9808]

You asked: Get on Amazon and check out the Pferd chain sharp filing guide (same as Stihl but about $10 cheaper). They come for, pretty much, all tooth sizes. I have them in my tool box. It takes me about 3 minutes to PERFECTLY sharpen a chain in the field which is much faster than your grinder in your shop. Fyi, I live in the Pacific northwest - there is a HUGE timber business here . . . Your ingenuity in fixing things amazes me.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Ok thanks, I ordered one. 3/8" right?

[@thespook9808]

@@AndrewCamarata 3/8" is what I use on my saws. Let me know what you think of it. There are about a zillion videos on KZbin using them if you're interested.

[@mcooper5508]

I bought a cheap Poulan that did it’s bit when I needed it after Hurricane Charlie ages ago. I can’t get the thing to start now. I replaced the fuel tubes, and such. Searching for an answer, I found you. Now, I still have a dead chainsaw, but I’ve never enjoyed a video so much. Thank you for this.

[@nileynet]

"It was pretty broken when I sold it" In Andrew speak that means "At least 90% of the chainsaw was physically missing when I sold it"

Hmmm, let's see. What would I rather watch: "The Voice" or some guy tinkering with chain saws for 2 hours? Chain saws, of course!

Can’t believe I watched nearly 4 hours of your videos. Amazing work. Your father must be proud. You are like MacGyver. You can fix anything 👍

[@tkrueger06]

You are absolutely right about scaling the logs, many different ways, grades etc. I've ran a sawmill in Missouri for about 3 years now, and something else to note, there are 2 main log scales, doyle and international (some less common, cedar scale, scribner) that most yards will use. When you are selling smaller logs, softwoods or scragg (usually pallet grade hardwoods, small diameter) they may buy logs by the ton. Doyle scale will scale lower on smaller diameter logs, and international scales higher on smaller logs. Just because a mill tells you a board foot price, you should ask what scale they are paying on. Some will quote a higher per BF price than other mills in the area, but pay on doyle, so it can be less. Don't be afraid to call around. Some mills pay the same regardless of the market variations, and some will fluctuate their prices daily. White oak and black walnut are the highest paying types here in Missouri, varying from $1.00-9.00/BF.

[@kevinpilkington6527]

Anthony Krueger Is Reelfoot still buying? havent sold there in a perty long time just curious. Noticed Mo was yer state and the market you mentioned sounded like the south east of the state. Where is yer mill in case I work within a few miles of you...at times I range out perty good! Stay Blessed, Kev

[@tkrueger06]

Kevin Pilkington my mill is over by St. James, MO close to the center of the state. I do still buy logs.

[@LordEzequiel]

Love your video! A small tip when re-installing new piston on a chainsaw. Put a little 2 stroke oil before inside piston bearing and piston ring. that will smooth out the first start when all is damn dry.

[@valleybarbell]

when i was a kid in the 70s, my grandpa had a small engine repair and landscaping business. I remember him showing me how to tear down a small engine, lawnmower and chainsaw/ weed eater, and put it back together. I was about 5 when i started, great memories. If he was alive today he would love watching these videos.

[@grafspeem9402]

you should put some oil on piston and cylinder wall before assembling them, doing this dry not good idea
