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.

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.

@@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

Hi. I've owned and worked on several of those Chinese saws so first, on many saws the small hole you mentioned actually goes to an adjustment for the chain oiler. Use a small flat screwdriver and turn a screw deep inside the hole to adjust the flow of oil to the chain. Second, the 25/1 oil mix is simple. 40/1 or 50/1 mix oil is the recommended leanest mix the oil will work for. Meaning the less amount of oil mix that will still provide satisfactory lubrication. Use the same oil for a 25/1 mix but use just twice the amount recommended for 50/1.

Ratios like 25:1 were recommended back when we used regular SAE 30 4 stroke oils in our gas, or old 2 stroke oils that had terrible lubrication properties compared to todays oils. Run whatever ratio you want, running more oil isn’t going to hurt your engine provided you jet the carburetor correctly for that ratio. A richer oil to gas ratio will result in a leaner running engine, too much oil without a jet change or adjustment will burn up an engine.

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.

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.

You can convert that to a side tensioner very easily. Look up 25cc chain tensioner on the jungle site. Trust me it fits. Remove the side cover / chain brake. Remove the 2 screws and plate covering existing tensioner and remove it. Take a 5/16rh Drill bit and run it through the side hole that is for the straight slot gear part of the tensioner. That will allow it to fit. Push that piece into place. It will be a TIGHT fit that is normal for that part. Install the adjustment nib / screw bit into place. Pro tip is to adjust the bit so that it lines up with the current adjustment you were using. Once you get it all in make sure there is plenty of grease all over every part of the tensioner including inside the plastic pockets. It will be VERY hard to turn at first. It should self clearance then work normally after you run it back and forth for a bit. I've done all of the chinese saws this way since I figured it out.

It's also safe to run these at 40:1 with high quality oil. That's what I've been doing without any obvious extra wear. That's my main complaint about these saws. They only have a 510ml tank so it goes really fast compared to at least 800ml on Stihl. It looks like yours actually got the 48mm bore cylinder (61.5 actual CCs FYI). That hump I could see on the side of the cylinder. It should have came with a small crappy but functional dog in the bag. Mine did. They have 4 actual sizes of these clones. Chainsaw Chainsaw (25.4cc) is the smallest Zenoah Clone. Then it goes 46.5cc, 54,5cc, and 61.5cc. The best power can be had from the first and middle sized units as the transfers really suffer trying to feed the bigger CCs.

Thanks for the introduction to the saw but I'll say it. I just can't show up at a job site with a purple saw and the name Pinkway on the bar, at least not yet. My Husqvarnas and Echos have been my workhorse saws for years. Also, it's nice to put some hours on a saw and see how it performs. My final thought on this video is that a sizwheel, a tapered hinge and wedge(s) make directional felling enjoyable. Thanks for the video.

When hooking up to the pintle hitch, if you removed the pin from the reciever homding the trailer ball in place, you could have slipped the ball into the pintle, then probably slid it inside the receiver again and locked it in place More work, but looks like it would have fit. Slightly safer than it just sitting up on top of the ball and relying on friction to keep it in place.

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.
@burtonstest69435 ай бұрын
I have a Dereal Pro 6220F, paid the same, and it is the same saw except mint green. It has been shockingly good, and starts like a champ every time. I've read/heard they are based on Zenoah design.

I picked up a Husky 543XP Clone (Neotec) for $109 and so far it's exceeded my expectations for a small cleanup saw. Shocking how good the cheap saws are.

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.

With the modern synthetic all ratio oil mix. I would think 25/1 and 50/1 wouldn’t make a difference. It would be interesting to bore scope the cylinder to see if that second gallon of 50/1 caused any damage

Pretty good saw for 120. That one face cut looked huge. Its funny that little machine pushing over trees and pulling!

They're good for residential where its used for cleanup every now and then but definitely not a professional saw

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.

Just goes to show, a cheap saw with a well sharpened chain is not bad at all... would be curious to see how it cut with the chain stock..

I've had my amazon dereal (63cc) saw for a couple years now and have modified it quite a bit and it's still just as good as the first day. Better actually. It was only the second saw I bought brand new and like you have bein surprised with how well it performs. After it I've bought about 30 more saws ranging from a 99cc bb 066 red-light to a cs3510. I love felling trees. Just wish I lived in a better state for it vs Oklahoma.
