[@MrBooMY3]

The reason the pull cord feels funny is that it has easy start. It winds up a spring with your pull then pops it all at once. If you try to start it like your arm is broken (pull like you can't start a saw without decomp) and it will start easy.

I ported the intake and exhaust on one of these and it runs even better. 50.1 ratio all the time. Cut the rakers down on chain and it will really cut. Also the pull start is a easy pull if you pull it hard it wont start pull it easy and it works everytime.

I almost never wear safety glasses, my bad luck has yet to come

[@mattp350]

All about the safety squints.

[@JakePlisskin12]

yeah, I literally have a brand-new pair of safety glasses on my face at all times. Because why not, I try to prevent things from happening if possible. I stopped working for this guy, because he never cared about safety he would literally flip out on me and call me a pussy because I wanted to tie a latter off when we were roofing a house. He said it would take to long, "your not going to fall'. Okay bud no buddy has ever fallen off a latter. Or working on electrical receptacles, I wanted to turn off the breaker. He once again flipped out on me. I said, 'well I'm not doing it then". Didn't have my multimeter on me, like who knows they could have it wired to 240v or worse ( I know unlikely) But you cant tell me that has never happened. Its not worth it. Especially when at the time I was making 15 bucks an hour. I will take calculated risks but only if I'm doing the calculations myself.

[@Wannabearborist]

@@JakePlisskin12 I now work in Bulgaria doing construction/renovations, here in Bulgaria safety is not the number one priority, I do quite often have my concerns but just decide not to care, I am an 18y/o apprentice but I work with some guys who I trust my life to, especially a British guy who I work with is very involved with me doing sh1t safely. A few days ago we where working on a roof wherefrom the highest point was about 5-6 meters but there was no safety sh1t, if you slipped you’d slide down the boards and would have to be lucky to grab a crack between them if you don’t wanna kiss the ground. As you can see by this comment I lucky got down alive but it was my first time actually being on the roof of a house and that was quite scary. I normally am not to scared of risks and heights, I’ll even climb trees 5+ meters without being secured but on a roof there is little grip so it’s quite scary. My point is: Dangerous stuff will always be dangerous but only if you are uncomfortable doing dangerous things will they become more dangerous

[@stephenparchewski1998]

Yes, that is the reason for it. If you are using 2 cycle oil, 50:1 is universal and will work for pretty much anything. My 066 runs on C12 race fuel, so I mix it at 32:1 (half a bottle of dominator oil to a can of C12). Everything else get’s 50:1.

Thanks for this great review! I just ordered one. What a great price! The reviews on Amazon were great. I just cut a few trees around my home. I only have four gas chainsaws and two electric, so I definitely needed another one. 😁 $130 with the tax, wow, can't go wrong! My oldest chainsaw is a Homelite Super XL that I paid $300 for new in 1984 (a lot of money at the time). My most reliable chainsaw has been a Chinese Ryobi that cost $130 about 10 years ago. It starts easily every time and always runs perfect. I love your channel. I love running a chainsaw and cutting trees. There's something thrilling about having all that power in my hands. It's almost like an amusement park ride.

That exact same saw is $494.29CAD ($359.37 USD)on Amazon in here in Canada! What a rip for us! I've got a Holtzforma, and they too suggest 25:1. Like you, I ran a few tanks like that and switched over to 50:1, and that was 3 years ago. It's still running fine. Thanks for the review.

[@joeschneider8812]

The 25/1 ratio is usually for just their break in period Jake.

[@matthewtaylor2185]

I have had a Chinese saw for 5 years, I took my regular 50:1 mix and added some cheapo two stroke oil someone gave me for the first few gallon of fuel, after that all red Armor 50:1 and she still runs great with less smoke.

[@echocall]

Don't the Holzfforma clones call for 25:1 too? I think most people run 50 in those

[@matthewtaylor2185]

@echocall they do, but running good 2-stroke oil at 50:1 has never been a problem. 25:1 just gets too smokey and makes my eyes burn ang gives me a headache.

[@gp4103]

I run my timberpro and parkerbrand 50-1 or maybe >40:1 and it's fine. Keep the chain sharp so you're not abusing the motor and they are well worth it for the 10 cords I fell and buck a year

50:1 versus 25:1 relates to the quality of the 2 stroke oil only and this is specified by the oil manufacturer. The fact that the saw ran fine on both without mixture adjustment is impressive.

I have a cheap 62cc Chinese saw too. I love it. Can’t kill it. Yet. And it’s incredibly reliable. These saws will never compare to the big brand professional saws but they absolutely have their place for the causal homeowner user. You can run them with 50:1 no problems but allegedly do better if run-in at 25:1 like you did.

[@Spheramid]

Jake, last fall I got some little yellow saw just like that. It was 12” bar , crazy useless file etc. I fueled it up and put it through the ringer, fully expecting it to not hot start. Or even start at all again. I was wrong, the lil sucker is a crazy one handed tool and it is almost my go to for light work and even some extended firewood bucking. I put an Oregon 14” on it and it’s got enough balls to handle some leaning on it. It was about $100 and it was a hell of a surprise. My 14” husky battery is 2x that!

[@burtonstest6943]

Qztodo? I have 2 (thats another story) of them and run them all the time for light stuff. The only functional problem I had with them was my fault -- in a rush cutting a tree top off a fence just before total dark, I got the bar pinched and ripped an AV mount (under the top bar). Ordered a full set of Zenoah AV mounts for $10 off ebay and fixed the problem when they arrived from China. I also have a 10" bar that I want to try on one, as well as a 14" bar, no reason in particular, just like messing with those little saws.

[@Spheramid]

Yes, that’s the one. It’s a screaming beast. I thought my ancient Shindawa was high rev and it has a 14” bar on it and was my fastest, lightest saw until this guy showed up. For those times when you don’t need the echo timberwolf , which is getting used less often as I get older and less enthusiastic about sawing in general. 😂 I think also a learning experience, see how much you can get done with the little buggers. Might be my imagination but I seem to get a lot of running time from a tank of gas too.

[@Allthrashedout.]

its looks same to a baumr-ag sx62 ive had one for 9 years is a killer the original chain lasted forever however since i replaced it.. it tends to come off if u push your luck with the tension.

[@evanlittle7126]

I have a neotec and garwinner. They start on the first pull every time, and my neotec top handle that was 100$ is a beast, I used it to cut down a 25ft walnut tree. They are great until they aren't.

[@belascones]

The starter cord may be a two spring system. They feel more elastic, but they are smoother and more usable. Just about getting used to them.

[@firesurfer]

Have you ever considered using those lithium handheld loppers for small stuff less than 1'' to save gas, and wear and tear on your machine? I bet 25-1 is to save wear on internal parts that may not be hardened as well. Only a long term test can tell.

[@matthewhamrick1099]

You should try out the FarmMac (Neotec) F-380 (72cc Stihl 038 Magnum II clone). Mine came with 25” Bar and pulls like an old school Stihl 044. It’s a real Beast !! Only paid $350 free shipping. Walked right through several big trees and even cross cut the big hunks into small chunks throwing spaghetti noodles. Haven’t even needed to sharpen the chain yet ! I did upgrade to a better air filter than the one supplied however. Anyone with only a few big trees to handle occasionally would be crazy to buy an expensive Stihl or Husky in the 70cc range for well over $1000. The saw is now pickled with storage oil awaiting the next Hurricane or Wind storm mayhem occurrence.

[@ckomit]

You could actually order a side tensioner that fits straight into the side hole, that is what i did for 2.00 £ , i also recommend to upgrade the air filter and fuel filter to better ones, you can get all that for less than 10 bucks, from the Chinese online stores.

It's been a great saw. Ya it has a couple of thing i could complain about but it does its job well enough. I did have to lean ot out a little less then an 1/8 of a turn. Ot was set just a little to rich from the factory. No it jas a perfect 4 stroke and leans out just perfectly undler load. It could definitely power a 22 inch chain but they are a bit hard to find in .325. i wish they would make these saws in 3/8. pitch chains.
