I struggled with the throttle hook up and you nailed it. Thank you sir.

[@MowerMike]

Yep same here, was a learning experience doing this video. Glad it helped

I just went through all this with a 55 that was found in an old wet barn. It was in disgusting condition with mold and dirt. It looked like somebody played with it years ago trying to get it to run. A couple parts were missing and everything else was loose. It took me a few hours (mostly cleaning) and $50 in parts, but I got it looking really nice again. Once I got it to run and tuned, it rips!! Nice little project. With the easy availability of replacement parts and online information, I think almost any saw is salvageable at a low cost.

Nice that is a great saw to fix up.

[@jamesriopelle5197]

Thank you. The dealer told me the compression was not high enough to be worth adjusting/repairing, but it cuts wood great--just won't idle. I will give as many of your ideas a try as I can understand.

[@MowerMike]

Good luck they are good saws. Go on Amazon and get your own compression tester and see what it is yourself. It is easy to check. Just screw it into the spark plug hole and pull the handle. As long as it is above 120 or so it should be worth working on.

Thanks bud i was fing with that linkage for 45 minutes.

[@MowerMike]

Haha glad it helped. I did also that’s why I made this one. Now get to rippin

I have a 2004 model that has a 20" bar. I have used it to cut Maple as large as 38" diameter by rolling the logs. It still has the original bar and spark plug in it. Replaced ONE air filter just like that one.Have worn out 4 chains. Still has original carb and fuel line on it too. Best saw I ever owned and a real beast for big work with a hard chrome chain. I think it is about ready for a new recoil starter and I picked up a new rice burner rebuild kit for the piston, rings, & bearings but she still has plenty of compression as is. It has been well maintained and looks as good as the day I bought it. I like that you show how the linkage connects.Thanks.

[@MowerMike]

Very cool. I agree this is a great saw

[@PhD_Lawn_Service]

Fabulous work sir…this Dr. Bob character sounds like a bad friend…

[@MowerMike]

Oh he is good guy and he mows my yard every time I see him! (As long as I fix all his stuff first)

[@RayofallTrades]

Well done Mike. Love the energy.

[@MowerMike]

Hey thanks! Glad someone is watching my chainsaw videos. This is a really cool old saw

[@RayofallTrades]

@@MowerMike yes they are. Done a few vids on them myself but you bring a lot more energy than I do. 😁😁 I'm still learning and a long way to go

[@pipedreams57]

I burn firewood exclusively in winter. I have a wonderful 30 ton splitter. Have you ever tried splitting any Sycamore or Apple? Its like the wood from Hell. LOL.

[@MowerMike]

Nope never have. That is all you

[@the1stime]

My Rancher isn’t oiling the bar. I’m I correct the bar oil isn’t adjustable? Is there a workaround? TIA

[@MowerMike]

Yes just get a bottle of gear oil for a rear end and give her a squirt on the chain every now and then. Works great

[@user-jn3lt2sg2v]

My brother gave me a 55 , geting fire but still will not start

[@MowerMike]

Well watch the video and fix it.
