How To Properly Adjust Carburetor On Chainsaw! Expert Tips!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

We forgot to add the times in for the cuts. With the 036 running rich it took 15 seconds to make the cut. After Joe dialed the saw in to it’s sweet spot it took 12 seconds to make the same cut all while burning less fuel. This will all add up.

Truth is it takes years and extremely good hearing and feeling Some people can and most people never will understand it 😢😢😢 Like everything the more you do you learn more 😊

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

For sure, I’m starting to notice it. I k ow I have to lean out my Echo before the next time I run it.

[@SomeGuysSawShop]

I thought I recognized that background 😂 glad you got to learn from him, he’s an awesome guy

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I learned a lot, and the ported saws he did for me are awesome!

[@SomeGuysSawShop]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors there is nothing like running a ported saw, my friends reactions to running my ported 046 are hilarious

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Joe's dyno tests are cool af. You guys are lucky to know him ❤ Kenny

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

He is a wealth of knowledge. We’ve only met him the two times but I imagine their will be more in the future. He is a good guy!

[@wollybooger]

Good job... thanks for the info! I am more excited now to get my 400 back from Joe...

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Wait until you see our ported saw video! It puts a smile on my face thinking about it!

[@backyardfirewood9852]

Joe knows his stuff. When you are tuning you saw in the wood you’ll know your target RPM off the dyno graph…

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yeah, I will now that I have the graphs. Ported saw videos posting soon!!

[@backyardfirewood9852]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors sure, believe it when I see it... 😆 I'm guessing he hit around 8hp and change with the Makita...

[@McKameyFarms]

Great video! Very helpful and much easier to understand. Especially when it’s shown outside in a real situational setting

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you, I always had trouble knowing what people we’re referring to but I get it now.

[@dennishall9260]

That Joe is amazing! He definitely has an ear for tuning a saw. I'm guessing this works with all 2 cycle engines like hedge trimmers, blowers, and tillers as well as the saws. "Sounds like" (get the pun) I need to get my Sthil fleet out and take a listen! Thanks y'all!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Dennis, he sure does! He has a lot of knowledge for sure!

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Great video. I think I understand the sound now. 👍🏻

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Noel, I couldn’t hear it before, granted my hearing isn’t the greatest but I can hear it now.

The clutch isn’t worn, it’s the way those older saws are. The springs do slowly stretch overtime and cause the chain to “walk” a little. Even when those saws were new it’s common for the chain to move before the engine is warmed. When the saw is warmed up and if the chain moves a lot, it’s time to change the clutch or clutch springs. The noise Rachel was hearing was the clutch and clutch drum ringing. Again, all those older Stihls sound like that. The early 066 red light/flat top definitely has a distinctive sound. The aftermarket clutches tend not to walk or ring like the OEM ones. It’s also harder to “feather throttle” with some of those aftermarket clutches I’ve noticed, making the saw’s trigger less sensitive. Particularly when they’re just a few wood fibers holding and you try to cut them without sawing into the dirt. I threw away all the aftermarket clutches I got, and saved the springs and “rebuilt” the OEM ones. I feel like a geek making these “long winded, know it all and probably extremely boring to most people” comments lol. But that’s what happens when someone says something that starts you thinking about what has accumulated in the “cobweb section” of your mind 😂

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Scott, you were one of the people I was referring to that I’m jealous of you ear for saws, and knowledge!

[@scottw.2450]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors Thanks! There’s still a lot I don’t know, like with porting, port timing, squish and all that. When it comes to hopping a saw up all I know is old school logger mods, more air going in, and more air going out, and chains. One thing a lot of people don’t know is you can change angles to cut better in different types of wood, soft, hard, green, dead, petrified, etc. I wish I was better on camera, that would be a informative video. When my dad logged they used Husky 1100s, 2100s, and Stihl 056 magnums, and Magnum 2’s, etc, but his firewood saw was a Stihl 036 pro, like yours, and I’ve seen him bring down huge trees in a short amount of time with that little 62 cc saw. But he could tweak a chain to perfection, and running his chains in the wood it was filed for, you would think you were running a bigger saw because of how well it was cutting.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

@@scottw.2450 oh yeah not sure what I do but sometimes my chai is awesome and sometimes it’s not lol.

[@scottw.2450]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I guess I’m really still experimenting with different angles with filing, always looking to perfect it as much is possible.

[@bobfitch607]

Good advice from joe Heath now you can adjust the carburetor on the Kubota diesel . 😉👍

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Real funny Bob, I’m still trying to figure that choke out 😂.

[@On_The_Farm]

Well I learned something about my saw, thanks for the video!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Glad we could help. I learned a lot from my short time at Joes. Appreciate the feedback!

[@novicelumberjack]

Good job guys!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@johnwoody4905]

Good video he knows his saws I prefer old Saw's I have not had any luck with the newer one's and hate the oil and gas caps. I run a 28 super,046 and a 400 echo.. Take care be safe and well.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you! Joe definitely knows his stuff. The first quality saw I ever bought was a Stihl 028 Super. I picked it up at a garage sale, the paint on the bar didn’t even show wear but it had been sitting in a barn for years. I paid $5 for it, replaced the fuel lines, cleaned the carb, and ran it for years. Still proud of that deal!

[@chrisfoltz6810]

Excellent video Heath and Rachel Joe will this way of tuning work on a string trimmer mine is jacked up.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I imagine it will. Not sure though.

[@shrimp8004]

How many times do I turn it in if I'm change them out an are this saw self oil n

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

They are two stroke so the oil is mixed with the gas.

[@carysmith9039]

You guys should start selling a line of splitters and wood cutting supplies Have an on line store you would be great

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you, maybe one day we will get something going. We haven’t even had time to get our HWM merchandise store set up yet. We have the hats and shirts just haven’t finished the web page yet!

[@carysmith9039]

Easton Made Wolfe Ridge or another there is some great stuf out there a lot of people don’t want to drive a long distance or deal with a semi in there yard. There is a place in Millington that rents wood processors

Nice video

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Ralph!

[@tomekwozny1706]

I'm curious what chain you use: 3/8 or 3.25?

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Hi Tomek, I use a 3/8 chain

[@MarkAAshdown]

What do you mean 4 stroking??

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Not sure how to explain it. Rpm’s sort of go up and down I guess.

[@jerrywayneray]

a 4 stroke chain saw?

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Jerry, not a 4 stroke chainsaw but when the 2 stroke saw is too rich and it goes up and down in sound like a four stroke engine it’s called 4 stroking.

[@jerrywayneray]

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

@@jerrywayneray if you want to get a sew done you can either ship it in, or he will buy a new saw, port it, muffler mod it, and ship it. Our ported saw video will be posted soon. Let’s just say I’m impressed!

[@carllewis8203]

I like the video and I have a video on me cutting the 6 inch wood on me doing that

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you Carl!

[@waynetharp]

I think the 036 was may not have been the best example for this video today. It acts to me like it has a small air leak somewhere, and the confused looks on Joe's face backed up that thought. His adjustments were not getting the results he expected because the saw is running erratic. IMO

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

That is possible but we had other saws there he could have used. He said he couldn’t make it too rich for example because my limiter caps were still on. The cut time was reduced by 3 seconds after the adjustment though.

[@waynetharp]

@hardworkingmanoutdoors I believe you will soon see for yourself. When the saw will not hold a tune, but I could be wrong...

[@cah_sawmill]

I'm coming

One important question is do you know JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR?

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yes sir! Thanks for watching!

[@chriseller757]

Its not the clutch its the springs. Its still too rich. You dont tune a saw by free reving it with no load. Oh but hes a old pro lmao.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

He tuned the saw in the cut, that is why we had the log there??

[@timothyhall7153]

That saw is screaming for him to maybe do a Lil work on that chain man. Poor saw can't get no relief

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

It was a bad chain, but what we had on hand.
