Me too Kenny, if I use a tach I stay between 500-1000rpm below max. Good video!

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

I started at 1-1/2 turns out for the hi and lo mixture screws. It didn’t take much to get them at the right rpms. Ironically when I removed the limiters each screw was only 1/2 turns out. Waaay too lean.

[@petefroud5308]

Nice one Ken.Like that Tach.

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

It will go to someone.....eventually!

Hey I have a ms250 still chainsaw. I put a brand new carb and brand new ignition coil so I have spark and fuel and I checked key on the flywheel and it's good it won't even start and starting fluid and I got good spark cus it's a strong bright purple bluish color so I really don't know what to do next

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Take the muffler off and make sure you have no scoring on the piston

[@willefixit]

thats cool tach i got a spirometer for 1 cyl cant rember how hi it goes . use it on governer adjuctments .on 4 strokes .

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

I started out with a Treysit Sirometer myself. Still use it once in a while. Great tool that works even on electric motors by vibration. Thanks for watching!

[@s-s-p704]

Very nice give away prize 👍

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

My favorite tool, will be a lucky subscriber’s too!

[@craigtimmons3468]

Don't beat your self up Ken, we've all hat that happen at least 1 time except me of course 🤣 You say the owner will never know, we will if he watches this video LOL Great demistrstion and Video cause most people like to see all the Bloopers 🤪

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

An old Stihl tech once told me give yourself 1000 rpm “insurance” on high revving 2 strokes. I agree

[@rw3dog]

Nice video. You have some nice Mums there too...

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Costco Mums10 bucks each. Great deal!

[@kevinbolin7665]

rw3dog / My wife watched the Poulan video where my bud Ken gave a shout out.....LoL... she was in all over the mums as well …...so needless to say I bought her 6 from a local Amish store . Have to admit they do look nice next to the porch .

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

For 10 bucks each at the local Costco they were a bargain.

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

I just wish the squirrels and chipmunks wouldn’t eat the bulbs. I’ll have to store them in the basement this year as they are killer colors and a great price!

[@nickywalsh8492]

Was that my tac??😂

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

If you win!!!

[@nickywalsh8492]

@@KensSmallEngineRepair that was a joke going back to when we chatted on Matty's live feeds..I don't actually need a tac... haven't burned up a 2stroke saw ever...👍

[@notlisted1493]

You know what would have actually helped? If you would have SHOWED US YOU ACTUALLY STARTING THE SAW.

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

My apologies I will try better the next time. Thanks for watching

[@DicksSmallEngines]

Great video Ken mate. Nice bit of kit that tach is also might I add ! The unedited, raw content if you like is better in my opinion as the viewers see what your doing in “real time”. Good work mate. Take care 👍🏻

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

I screw up like everyone else, why not leave it in I say.

[@kevinbolin7665]

This is truly why I like Ken and why his subs continue to grow in number / he is honest …..and that is very rare in the line of work we do. Most shops just wont to get you in and get you out …….they wont pressure or vac test equipment like they are supposed to do ….Nor will they use a tac …..Ken I have no doubt puts his best foot forward so to speak and truly puts real effort with proven positive results in the equipment he repairs . { Keep up the good work Ken ] Excellent video ..

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Thanks Kevin. You are like me in that you speak and tell the truth, no BS! If the equipment is AFU, tell the customer that!
