Rebuilding PRO Chainsaws & Removing a Tree w/ a BOOM Lift

[@ryansteve8739]

For those who don’t know, anytime you see scoring on the exhaust side of the piston, it means the saw was starved from oil, and or improperly adjusted and ran lean

[@pullimgsm]

I was hoping someone would say that! Spot on.

[@usethenoodle]

@@pullimgsm Same here, It looks like it wasn't getting proper oiling.

[@dafalzonAUS]

[@Dave5843-d9m]

People tune for minimum fuel consumption leading to overheated piston. The engine should rev cleanly and drop neatly to normal speed. Fast but weak idle suggests lean air/fuel mixture.

That pile would have been next winter's firewood for me... The dogs, I would make a set from tool steel.

[@corydriver7634]

That 360 really rips through the wood. Glad to see you wearing the harness and lanyard in the basket. Lots of guys won’t do that, they figure their in a basket they’ll be fine, I say yeah...until you’re not safey is free. Nice to see something a little different this time.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Yeah I really like the 360 so far! As far as the harness goes, they make em for a reason! You're always safe until your not! I have too many projects that need attention to be falling out of a basket!

[@mdouglaswray]

@@SalvageWorkshop Gravity has NO mercy. I was also pleased to see you clip in the moment you were in the basket. Safety FIRST!

[@creamysbrianna]

Agreed, it's better to wear it and nothing happens than to not have it and need it.

[@jonkvh]

The reason you get that side scoring in the bore is revving the motor as soon as it's started. All chainsaws need to sit for one minute once started without touching the throttle. This includes even during breaks between chainsaw sessions. Leave it sit for a minute once started, it's hard to get used to doing this but you'll get used to it.

[@daddi275]

different metals expand at different rates that causes binding and scoring when it is worked too fast after starting.

[@DevideNull]

scratches on the piston (especially on the exhaust side) low compression yep...

[@DevideNull]

If anyone says it's okay to do this to their old chainsaw They may want to check the compression of their old chainsaw, it's probably low because they've done enough damage so that the tolerance is now big enough...

[@SalvageWorkshop]

That's one of the reasons, yes! Vacuum leaks can also cause it depending on where they're at!

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

@@SalvageWorkshop A saw that hunts for the tune and you have to adjust the carb rich. the crank seals likely are leaking. a lean running saw will cause cyl & piston damage.

[@adamdevries3734]

When you tighten your chains and bar. You should lift up on the bar. Reason being is it will push once you start using it. This can cause your chain to over tighten and wear quicker.

Magnificent job on reviving those chainsaws from the rust bin. 👍👍👍 Though i am surprised that you sent those logs to the burn pile instead of using/selling them as firewood for the winter.

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

Always hold the bar point upwards before tightening the nuts on a chainsaw, it aids chain entry onto the bar from the sprocket. Also, the tickover on the 1st saw was too high and the chain on the 2nd saw too tight, when you hear em whining like that, ease it off a little. (Probably why your sprocket exploded) Worked professionally in the woods for decades, did all our own repairs. 👍👍

Matt-you can remove deposited aluminum from a Stihl cylinder using Muriatic acid with a cotton swab. It won't harm the cast iron sleeve. It takes a little time but don't leave the acid on for long periods. Use the swab and work a spot to learn the rate at which the aluminum dissolves. Reapply acid as needed and work it with the swab. You can leave it a bit to let it work but not for long periods. I only apply on the aluminum deposits, not the whole cylinder. Use your eyes and finger to feel if you got it all (after rinsing it off with water first and drying). Follow up with a ball hone in a shallow cross hatch pattern when done. I've done many saws this way that other people have seized. Use a mighty vac to check vacuum and pressure on the crank case and all rubber parts to check integrity of seals 7psi is all you need. After you install the cylinder, you can block off the intake and exhaust to check again the vacuum and pressure for leaks this also tests the decomp valve. Finally, m ix 40:1 in your gas and always tune to your altitude. I use Red Armor. I always tune my saws to run slightly rich out of the wood, but sing along happily in the wood. Never tune a saw that is not hot already. If you do these things you'll likely never have to make another video like this one. I enjoy your videos and work ethic Matt that is the right way to do it. Keep up the good work!

[@truckdrivinmilanr]

The small screw on the bottom of the powerhead for adjusting the chain oil volume has 2 tiny o-rings that commonly leak when storing the saw. The screw is in the oil pump housing.

[@dougdegraff5892]

As someone who grew up around Chainsaws in the logging industry, I’d mix that two stroke oil a little more on the rich side. I’d a lot rather fowl a spark plug than have to tear down a saw cause I seized the rings and maybe scored the cylinder from running it at so called spec mixtures… by the way Stihl also made a real big boy saw the 090.. I guess you can still special order them. But be prepared to remortgage your house.. they were 20 hp and weighed in at 48 lbs.. that will put hair on your chest wrestling one them around 8 hrs a day..

[@trevorslater2746]

I used a 090 with a portable tractor mill with a 60 inch blade going from farm to farm 35 yrs ago ,saw was pretty new then ,we had a 800 McCullough and a700,I liked the 700 so much bought a rebuilt 700 off our chainsaw shop ,it still runs pretty good, bought a maccat 38cc new be about 34 yrs ago ,its still on the original chain ,I got as a backup for the 700 so it's not been worked hard all the time ,when I sharpened it only 1 stroke per sharpen ,,had a carby kit ,still runs ok ,now run a 066 magnum, bought 2010 ,then went overseas for 6 yrs so lucky if its done 100 hrs ,My Dad had a big Canadian 2 person saw he used in the Bush and a pioneer, dont know what size ,it had a sight glass so you could see the petrol I spose

[@IanSlothieRolfe]

When you reassemble any engine replacing rings or cylinders you should take it easy for a while, the surfaces on the rings and cylinders polish each other until they fit perfectly. Also the cylinder surfaces get coated with a deposit made from oil and combustion products that act to "fill" surface imperfections and improve oil retention on the surfaces - another good reason to add extra oil to the fuel for the first few hours use. 15 mins of gentle running after assembly will lead to many hours extra life in the engine.

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

When I install new rings in a chain saw or any one cyl engine. I spin the plugless engine over with a large drill. I make sure there is plenty of engine oil in the crankcase and pour some in thru the spark plug opening. That Leon guy on UTUBE he lets a chain saw run at idle for 1/2 hour after a ring job. Folks mail him their old saw and he fixes whatever is wrong test it out and shipps it back. Mostly a Homelite guy but he does other brands too.

[@danestormfeltz7815]

[@nemesismcc]

On most of my 2 stroke engines ( mainly motorcycles) I use to run the port edges down a little, this allowed the rings to slip past them ( sometimes after a re-bore or honing it would leave sharp edges at the ports, this can lead to ring bounce and can often shear the ring surface, I ran all my motorbikes on Castrol R, a very high grade 2 stroke oil, plus treated them with Slik 50 2 stroke oil treatment ( contains PTFE and makes the bores extra slippery, and coats all internal bearing surfaces ) and it smells real nice too, lol

You should always make your cuts in firewood straight, so you can split it and burn it in your fire place or wood stove.

[@gerin1946]

Hi friend, a special good tip !!! Remove all the inside of the exhaust "silencer" and weld on the outer cover a little piece of pipe +/- 3/4 " diameter x2" long to direct the exhaust gas ...... So it will be a free exhaust system, this will give more power and far less piston and piston ring problem ! Try this out and you'll see the difference...!!!

[@gerin1946]

Let me know the result please !

Both those saws are gonna need a bottom end rebuild before to long

[@fredrichardson9761]

At the end of the rebuild I was thinking "aw shoot - he didn't show us what the compression was after all that work!" But then you took the ginormous tree down - um, yup, compression looks good 🤣 I have to say man, kudos, that was a huge job, now I know why tree removal is so expensive and requires a lot of skill!

I find it amazing the a piston/bore that small can work so well. Brilliant! Also, you can loosen the u-bolts and raise the gates up, set a 2x4 or something similar under them and tighten bolts. Now you have ample ground clearance. Check the mounting posts for level & plumb first, of course. For the record, this method works. I have done this myself where gates used to drag on the ground.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

The gate is broken... not just dragging on the ground!

[@mridaho7871]

Thanks for these videos. I’ve learned a lot from them and have gained confidence with the skills I have learned here. I’m the equipment manager for a small mining club and have salvaged a couple pump motors that previously would have been scrapped before. A couple things I’d like to see is how do you handle stuck and broken bolts. I was scrapping an old lawnmower the other day and broke 3 bolts off in the engine block. Thought about how to remove them if I were rebuilding it instead of scrapping it.

[@DevideNull]

The fastest way to destroy a chainsaw is by using it immediately after a cold start It takes a little time for the piston and cylinder to reach the working tolerance by thermal expansion

[@DevideNull]

As the piston heats up much faster than the cylinder, it expands faster and starts to contact the cylinder. This also explains why there are more scratches on the exhaust side the temperature on exhaust side is higher

[@ryy597]

Or reving the piss out of it with a dull chain.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

No, the fastest way to destroy a chainsaw is to run regular gas WITHOUT Oil in it! People do it ALL the time!

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

@@SalvageWorkshop Think So? Ive got 1960's homelites and use regular ethanol gas and super tech oil. over 5 decades old & still running the original cyls and pistons. And I use them a great amount cutting big trees. I keep the chain sharp and pump that manual oiler plenty. I dont lug them with felling dogs. I really clean the cooling fins regularly and dont have a restrictive muffler that holds the heat to the cyl. Its a stack muffler without any baffels. Im pretty deaf it dont seen that loud to me! Those baffeled spark arresting mufflers are a giant heat sink that holds the heat to the exhaust port side. the scoring is most of the time on the exhaust side? one thing ive noticed the unleaded gas doesnt foul the spark plugs like the good stuff with teratyl lead did back in the day. The ethanol absorbs the water in the gas and renders it harmless. Back in the Day when we where supposed to have the good fuel. A passenger car engine was burning oil at 70,000. A engine with 100,000 miles was a rare thing. Now with the crappy unlead ethanol gas we commonly see 2 and 3 hundred thousand mile car engines that are still going strong.

About the stump, put a 55 gallon drum (with the ends cut out),on it and build a fire in it you can use a bag of match lite briquettes, just keep it going for a few days with scraps and small limbs, it will remove the stump and leave no mess and very little effort.

I wish I had half the energy you do. Great job on taking that “bonfire to be” down safely. Any saw job you walk away from with all ten fingers and toes is a win, but THAT one gave you a run for your money for sure. I’ve got a 35’ tall by 14” round Russian mulberry on the chopping block sort of speak this week and as a challenge I plan on doing it with 20volt saws, a 10” and an 8’ pole saw. The wife says I’m crazy but I know that’s why she said yes to my proposal back in 87 anyway so it’ll get done. That was fun, thanks for taking us along! Stay healthy and stay safe✌🏼

That tree would have caused a lot of damage if it fell. Glad you were able to get it down safely. Good job.

[@ronknight1010]

I'd recommend just renting a cylinder hoan/ deglazer. Theyl keep the cylinder concentric and if u keep moving it vertical you get good cross hatching. Problem with sanding like u did is those horizontal rings will prematurely wear on the rings. Also if your thinking about porting go for it. It's super easy and if you use common sense it's not easy to screw it up. Even just a good port matching makes a difference.

[@gregdawson1909]

big bucking spikes have a place, but a properly sharpened saw with aggressive rakers, (assuming you have the power to pull the chain) will cut very well without any. I like short bars too, 16-18 tops for anything sub 75cc. Fewer teeth to sharpen.

[@CorwinBos]

The farm saws are rebuildable, its just more work as you have to pull the saw down further to get into it all. Ive done a 310, turning it into a 390, and a 021, turning it into a 025. Both run quite well.

[@ricklarouche4105]

Be cautious to not tune them too lean, you need the fuel to lube the entire engine..an easy quick way to check the piston’s condition is to remove the exhaust baffle (2 screws on Stihl) and you can see the exhaust side of the piston.. 👍

I love my ms 360, too. I love my ms 440 even more, especially for big stuff. I always leave my oiler setting wide open when running a 20 inch bar or longer. The only saw that I lean it out on is my 372 Husky. The oiler on the 372 puts out a lot of oil at the wide open setting, even with a 24 inch bar. I would have cut that dead free you cut down with my ms 660 and a 36 inch bar. I cut down a five foot hickory with it this past Spring. I did buck of most of it with my ms 360 and 440 with 24 inch bars.

when a 2' long section of trunk weighs more than you, you know it's gonna be some good firewood. now you just have to get it split and stacked to season. ain't nothing better than free heat, plus heating with wood warms you three times, once when you cut it, again when you split it and stack it, and a third time when you burn it. been using a woodstove for more than 12 years. saves me about $1500 in propane a year. i cut storm downed trees from people's yards that i get paid to remove, and my friend has a couple of woodlots that i can cut all of the standing and fallen dead trees i want from. 20+ years ago, i had an old mc culloch saw that i cut dogs for out of a piece of 1/4" structural steel plate, not mild steel, because of the same bending issue. structural steel is hardened, and has more carbon content, and was tough enough that i never had that problem again. i was dropping a 120' cottonwood tree from a fence row, and a gust of wind pushed it back on me. i got out of the way, but the saw got pinched, and the tree cracked the case. about made me cry, because i loved that saw.
