My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

I just want to tell you what a breath of fresh air your videos are. Too many others are examples of how to turn a five-minute short into a half hour torture drill. They digress with talking about the weather, what the wife fixed for dinner last night, needing to mow the lawn, etc. Or, they leave the camera running while they rummage through their cluttered workshop looking for a screw or some misplaced part. One guy's narrative was completely drowned out by a TV soap opera blaring in the background. I just cringe when they ask the viewer if you "can see this" when their camera is 25 feet away. It's enough to cause a migrane. I really appreciate how you get right to the point and begin with a diagnostic/troubleshooting premise, offer helpful problem solving techniques, and then conclude with the steps you take to complete the solution.

[@justincase2281]

Great video lesson. Just watch out that you don't damage your wedding ring. I would take that off while working on machines, but that's your choice. Your vids are great and this is another in the collection. Thanks much!👍

[@mjvaquatics2626]

Really enjoy your video's as I try to do any/all maintenance on my stuff. The high cost and PITA of taking equipment somewhere conflicts with my DIY nature. Besides, once you see how relatively simple most things are you save money and have the satisfaction of fixing it yourself! Kudos for a great channel.

First time viewing a Chickanic video and I was very impressed. She kept things simple and real world for us occasional mechanic like myself. I picked up a couple of good pointers about diagnosing problems as well as how to disassemble and reassemble the chainsaw. Very impressed - 5 Stars from me!

Yeah we had to replace the oil on my brother's steel pole saw it was quite expensive took us a while to be able to afford to get it but little bit different than that but I wish I had found your videos earlier thank you so much love the channel

[@paulmcreynolds1774]

Great video. I just replaced the oiler in my poulan P4018wt.

[@twosencefromcleveland6084]

Thanks for sharing. I have made an observation about this saw. I noticed insufficient oil so I took it to my dealer for diagnostics and sharpen chain. Still not oiling so I took it back and they announced that it was fine. I sawed some more, still very little oil. After watching your video, I removed the cover to find much oily debris inside, none, or not much, on the chain. my analysis revealed that, since there is no outer guard (the thin steel piece found against the body of the saw), oil is allowed to pass through the bar, and into the brake/tensioning system. The plastic cover doesn't block this passage as there is open webbing it this location. I will fabricate a thin metal plate (like every other saw I've seen is equipped with), install it and report back. I found no diagrams that pictured this part. Thanks for the confidence. Nice job.

[@hphillips7425]

Good video and well explained. The way it looks on the video the chain looks like a standard 3/8 instead of a 3/8 low profile

Thank you for the info on my McCulloch chain saw. Rick in California, I talked to you yesterday

Another good informative video. Great job. I am on disability and I can't repair stuff fast enough to make good money. But if the preson is not in a hurry I will try and help them out. I picked up a set or the carburetor adjustment screw drivers from your affiliate link. I had a few of them already. However 2 of them cost more then the entire set. Now I am good to go. Thanks for all you do to help us out.

Thanks for your time

[@johnwoody4905]

good video thank you. take care, be safe and well.

[@roydmalmstrom6560]

Thanks - made it very clear of what to look for

[@kenbrown2808]

it needs to be spelled out: most chain saws are built to go through most of a tank of bar oil every time it goes through a tank of gas. don't just check the oil; top it off, and if it went through significantly less than a tank, check to find out why. and I always say: buying a cheap grade of oil (rhymes with burex) reduces your oil usage, but I've found it cooks your bar and chain because it doesn't lubricate as well as buying a good brand of oil from your saw shop.

[@EightWheelsRollin]

You are awesome! Gonna' start tearing my 452VL apart now....thanks!!

Yup, gonna fix it now. Thank you.

[@georgekopsias9159]

This was a very helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. If the chainsaw has to be stored for a long period of time, how could you prevent the bar chain oil from freezing in the pump and stripping the teeth of the pump? I have changed 2 pumps on my 026 and I barely use the saw. Now I have the same issue with my echo cs-341.

Perfect timing. I just tried to fix the oiler on my CS-590 after roaching the chain/bar cutting down a dead Norway Spruce. It throws a little oil unloaded, but not much. I did all the things you suggest here. Thanks to your library of previous tips. And the bar gets warm, not hot, after cutting a few small cuts. My ancient Stihl slobbers oil. More than enough. How much is enough?

[@twosencefromcleveland6084]

Too much is a mess, not enough is a disaster.

[@gillgetter3004]

We had a storm yesterday and can hear the chainsaws running in the neighborhood. I got lucky this time!!

[@AvaPxiaO]

When I was a teen and became an expert lumberjack (NOT, but I was trusted to know everything about its use and allowed to cut) we had a McCulloh yellow/black thinghy and it had a thumb knob next to the handle that oiled the chain. Very trustworthy mechainism if you were conscious to use it right so the chain wouldn't turn purple/blue) With later saws I purchased the oil pump was invented and I still miss that manual knob. It is always a concern, is it oil is it not? I guess if you see smoke coming out of the log it is not!

[@treeguyable]

Had a bronze gear wear out on my 400 echo chain saw oiler, but, it was a freebie saw anyway. May be the only Echo oiler I have ever had to replace.

I have this exact saw. Cold starts are two or three pulls on some days after it warms up one pull monster. Other days 10 pull restart turd . Seams like 1 pull lasts all day,as does 10 pulls frustrating.

[@delseckora5327]

Damn, that unit sure is clean

[@tazmun]

When you get your bar and chain to spray oil on the cardboard you might want to shut it off and re-adjust your chain tension. Chains tighten up when they run out of oil and loosen up once they’re oiled up again.

[@delseckora5327]

Great tip on advertising claims

[@sisqokid7978]

Did she mention to check the oil flow adjustment screw that can regulate the flow of oil to the bar before we tear everything apart?

[@mikericcomini4901]

I have a lawnmower with a Briggs & Stratton mansion, no problem is, it starts and runs OK first time out but if you stop it to do something very difficult to start again. Also when starting at the first time he starts very slow takes time to pick up speed. I have clean the carburetor and checked all the other components. I don't understand why when it's first starts it takes time to pick up speed.

I have seen some of the saws you get put oil in first

[@kenibnanak5554]

On the old McCullogh saws, I am finding that whenever the fuel lines are rotted, the oil line probably is also rotted. Some of the oil lines are a pain to reach.

[@ukchris123]

Hi from the UK. I love your videos and I'm working my way through them from oldest to newest. I've learned so much already, thanks for that. However; in this video, when you got down to exposing the oiler and oil pipes you said that the oil lines looked ok but because this was a warranty repair you were going to replace them anyway........but you didn't, and you didn't mention them again. Sorry, but I'm a stickler for detail. Keep the videos coming though.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Are you using an extreme pressure type grease on the needle bearing, or just a general purpose type?
