Good video , if I may humbly offer a constructive suggestion , speed up video where you take out & install screws , bolts etc; , otherwise a very helpful video because I have this exact same saw that has quit running. Thankyou for posting . I am a subscriber.

Hey Fergusonto-2032, I appreciate the feedback! I recorded all of this on a whim on my cell phone, rewatching it now shows its flaws! Ha! Glad it could help you out! Cheers!

This was real and just the info I needed

[@earthworxiowa]

Appreciate it ronhaycook6639!

Nice video, but you really need to blow that thing clean with some compressed air. The side vents look 1/2 clogged and the chain needs to get tightened.

[@earthworxiowa]

Hey John! I actually just watched the video in full just now since posting, not the greatest quality if I do say so myself! HA! The saw really does need a good cleaning and the chain is pretty dang loose! Appreciate the comment. Hope you have a happy holiday! Cheers!

[@harvestvillage695]

Thanks. I have the same exact saw.

[@earthworxiowa]

No problem, hope it helped in some way.

Great video

[@earthworxiowa]

Thanks Mike!

Spark plug is 3/4” wrench size. 😅

[@earthworxiowa]

Thanks cogentdynamics, that was rough rewatching the video myself haha!

[@pJarhead64]

Doesn't the scrench fit the spark plug?

[@earthworxiowa]

Now that you mention it, I do believe so! I wasn't prepared haha!

Nicely done but why not change out the lines and bulb while you are almost there. The purge bulb cracks easily from your location and use over the years as does the 3 lines. Georgia and Florida humidity and heat is brutal.

[@earthworxiowa]

Hey Michael, thanks for watcfhing! You're right about the primer bulb, we have had issues with that with our concrete saws. I rarely use this saw so I didn't change it out yet. I will have to look at the condition of it next time I have it out now. Thanks for the tip! Cheers!

To me it looks like a 2007.

[@earthworxiowa]

That would probably make more sense! Thanks!

[@Juanroahanda]

Great video but tighten that chain up bud

[@earthworxiowa]

Thanks Juan!

[@mtsflorida]

Chain is not real loose but could use about a 5 degree turn enough to lift it but not bind it tight.

[@earthworxiowa]

Thanks for the tip Michael!

[@petermclean5664]

No cleaning of build-up under the covers or anywhere else?

[@earthworxiowa]

@@petermclean5664 I should have gave it a full cleaning! I was in a hurry during this video, but thanks for watching!
