[@johnbeemansaunders6567]

I do like a Stihl chainsaw, I couldn’t believe the way you overhauled that saw, brilliant if only I lived near you I would get all my tools serviced by You , first class video and Service, 👍

[@roystheboy]

Thank you john for your kind words very much appreciate it

[@jorgiep09]

Great work 👏 👍, no loud music no weird tricks, straight to the point well explained with no words .

[@jeffboisclair1574]

I bought a used Stihl 009L and want to give her another life, thanks for the video , it will help me a lot to do it.

[@robertskilton9295]

Always use Loctite when reassembling old Stihl saws from that or earlier eras. Life saving stuff believe me. Been there done all that

[@leslierobertson9756]

Best video I’ve seen you do for ages 👍

[@roystheboy]

Thank you very much

[@deanmaniatis355]

Your video inspired me to try fix my 009 that doesn’t work

[@AndyH-13]

Great video and well done. You need to fit the metal part of the chain brake into the brake handle when installing the cover. These are lovely old saws.

[@missymooo8185]

Well done Royboy 👍👍👍

[@roystheboy]

Just bought one of these. Starts and runs well but does not oil well. Looking foreward to going thru it, thanks for the video.

[@roystheboy]

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Nice job 👍. I have the same saw. It was given to me because it won't start. Now it does. Needs a bar and chain Still.😆😆

[@ProjectMan]

[@MrsGreenThumb]

Great Job Roy.

[@martinburgess4814]

Superb job Roy as always, my favorite stihl saw,keep safe

[@dinopap8224]

I think you forgot to put the little screw on the ventilation gas tube.. and i think you are very lucky in the begining to trying to start the motor with wrong position of your hands..🙏

[@Grahams-Grass]

Good one Roy 👍👍👍👍👍

[@roystheboy]

Thanks mate

[@alandykes2519]

Wow fantastic restoration roy my friend what a nice machine that has made thumbs up mate 👍👍👍👍

[@roystheboy]

Thank you Alan

[@lucashallenbeck6729]

Working on getting one of these saws running, at 10:30 you put on the gas tent vent line. I can not figure out where the other end of line goes? I've seen a few people say it's behind the clutch cover but don't see the hole. Is it just a dead end/do you put the vent cap on it at some point? Don't see anything else in the video just you stick it in that hole and that's all. Thank you for any help

[@BrucesShop]

Like new nice work

[@roystheboy]

Thank you bruce

[@BensWorkshop]

Nice work Roy, looks great now and runs well too!

[@roystheboy]

Thanks benedict trying something different

[@funsimulator7246]

Nice work! Just picked up one of these in similar condition for $50 that won't start. Don't think I'll do as good of a job as you fixing it up but I'll at least getting it running and give it a new life.

[@franklauriekranitsky2782]

I'm guessing the crankcase seals are fine, good compression, good rings! All that work and not checking those seems odd. Idles good but sounds like it still needs some work! But it looks good!

[@roystheboy]

When I cleaned the engine the seals and everything was ok

[@PhilIkin-h9c]

Great Video! What model Carb was in the saw please?

[@roystheboy]

To be truthful I can not remember

[@tedmaui8991]

What color spray paint did you use on the crankcase. I’m going to do the same with my STIHL 009L

[@pattayperformance]

WOW! Love the new vlog style! Beautiful restoration! You look like you have done this multiple times before! For the Stihl on the cover I just use a permanent marker 🤪! Those old saws across the pond go for good money! 🔧🇺🇸🤙🏻🦅

[@roystheboy]

Thank you as for the sthil lettering I did use a permanent marker

[@timbrown2637]

@@roystheboy I use sharpies or bigger permanent markers all the time for lettering. One other thing is my son has a vinyl cutting plotter and I paint the lettering part of the bar satin black, he prints me the stihl letters, stick them on the black and paint the rest of the bar stihl gray, peel the vinyl off and spray the whole bar satin clear duplicolor wheel coating. I also use that clear on any parts i paint because it's fuel resistant

[@roystheboy]

@@timbrown2637 thank you for your feedback that's a great idea

[@Eric19781]

What paint did you use

[@CarlosLopez-kx6bf]

You didn't post the adjustments to the carburetor. Can you explain what you did?

[@jorgiep09]

I have a 009l wating on parts to the same thing thanks so much

[@thadstuart8544]

amazing transformation. do you remember which grey paint you used? it looks like Stihl OEM

[@ronaldsartori3882]

Did you replace the coil? I’m looking for a ignition coil for my 011avt I can only find aftermarket.

[@christified3]

I need to replace my sprocket. Anyone have a video recomendation showing how on this type of setup

[@thankswillie]

did you check compression?

[@Billy-burner]

Clearly not. He could've pulled that ripcord with his soft floppy dong

[@JC-zw9vs]

Superb really good video many thanks. Only one thing, I didn't see you put the grub screw in the fuel vent line, did I miss it?

[@AJPsWorkshop]

Great job mate like new

[@scottw.8871]

I was just given a 009 saw that supposedly didn't run. Chain was too tight, air filter dirty, vent line broken and all around DIRTY! But it did fire up and cut pretty good. Only problem it there was allot of oil that got on the clutch. Can't get it off, but using brake and carb cleaner, I'm trying to get the gunk out and hope the slipping stops. From what I read, this model came out in 1993? Would you say that is correct? Even though your vid says 1980's.

[@sniperneil53]

The steel chain brake lever is supposed to be INSIDE the slot on the side of the handle.

[@chrischiampo7647]

Isn’t There a 3rd Bolt Holding The Muffler On Inside The Muffler Once You Take It Apart Mine Does 2 Around Exhaust Port and 3rd at End Of Cylinder

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Did you get all your parts off Amazon?

[@s-s-p704]

Great editing Roy 👍. Perhaps you could of sharpened the blade before you started taking it apart, just a thought....

[@roystheboy]

i replaced it with one that was already sharp

[@grantmcinnes1176]

Looks like you left the kickback protection lever out of the 'handle'. Any reason, or is it just a PITA to use? I'm looking for a clutch case and I found one with this missing. Is it worth looking for another one, or do you think it's something everyone removes because it's not a good implementation.

[@Billy-burner]

I think it looked better in it's original state. Just a clean up would of sufficed. Also you did not attach the chain break correctly to the handle. Your saw needs further tuning because it was not running right.

[@wstatham1]

New camera !.Roy

[@roystheboy]

no same old hero+

[@johngraham8893]

It looked to be cutting the wood way too slow at the end.I'd put a shorter bar on it myself to give it more power

[@daves6590]

I just picked one up for free any way to tell if it would be OK to restore?

[@grantmcinnes1176]

Take the bar and chain off. Take the spark plug out. Spray a *tiny* bit of penetrating oil in the cylinder, aiming to coat the cylinder walls. Slowly pull the cord a few times, aiming to move the oil around the cylinder. This lubricates the cylinder to help prevent damage. Clean and set the gap on the spark plug. Ground it against the body of the motor, pull the cord quickly and check for spark. If you have fire, re-install it. Empty any old gas/oil mix and bar oil. Refill with fresh. Remove carb cover, spray a *tiny* bit of starter fluid in the carb. *Only the once* and a *tiny* bit. People will disagree about that, but I find an engine that hasn't run for a while needs an extra kick to get it going the first time. Replace carb cover. Probably no need to screw it on for now, you might remove it again soon. Go to town on that starter cord. Like 10 good pulls with the choke on. Maybe another 10 with it off. If it doesn't start, remove plug and clear flooding. Replace plug and try again. All of this sounds like a lot, but it probably takes 30 mins - 1 hour, and will resurrect a good number of saws. And if it doesn't get it going it will give you an idea of where the issue is: fuel or air or spark. And possibly how much effort it takes to fix. Everything can be restored though. Just a matter of how much time and money you want to put in :)

Here is my wish list if you would like to help with helping my channel www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/3JZOJTK0LKWSA/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_3?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist

[@Surtac100]

Got to be the ugliest stihl saw but the restoration was beautiful!

[@roystheboy]

It was in a bad state thank you for watching

[@sterman7632]

never open full throttle on chainsaw when you don't have the chain and bar on also after the reassembly when you tried to start it you flooded it that's why it didn't start
