SENIX 18” Chainsaw Review, (DIY Tree Removal)

[@drcoffee5588]

Not only are you dedicated to cutting down that tree alone but filming it too. Kudos. Something every Senix owner should know is these engines need the valves adjusted right out of the box. The valve lash is set too tight, basically no gap. This will cause run problems once it heats up, as the exhaust valve wont close fully. You will also see a lot of carbon on spark plug, check the gap. Mine was 0.020” when it should be 0.027”-0.031”. Set the valve lash to 0.06” or 0.15mm on both intake and exhaust. Then adjust the carb if needed. QC must just get it to run, then box it up for sale. But once you get it set right, this saw should run like a champ.

i was impressed after it got tuned.

[@jajaid6]

Great info thanks for sharing, mine currently experiencing starting problems!

[@pauladams4833]

Wow, you beat the living shit out of that saw and it still works, I’m definitely going to by one of those Senix. Thanks for putting that saw to the test.

[@backendhandyman]

Yeah I was pretty impressed, although it did need the carb adjusted. So you might get the adjustment driver in the link too.

[@smokeyriver7757]

Don't for get about the card adjustment tool that's nearly impossible to find. I had to buy a whole set of shit i didn't need to get the one stupid tool

[@BoneYardLawnService]

Nice vid! Great review putting that thing to work💯

[@backendhandyman]

Thanks 👍

[@MrThe1234guy]

Pretty happy I just picked up this exact Chainsaw for $110 new I guess it was a pretty good deal

[@Feeble_cursed_one]

Thanks for uploading this video, I was really curious how this saw would perform and it looks pretty good. Did you ever figure out what oil to use or did your 30 oil just work a? And thanks for showing the tuning mechanics! I really enjoyed this video : )

[@backendhandyman]

Thanks for the reply. It came with oil for the motor part.

[@jjdelgadojr9109]

Just came across this video. I am thinking about getting this chainsaw. But since its a 4 stroke, how did you cut sideways without having oil go everywhere? Supposedly you cant cut horizontally with a 4 stroke because you can starve the engine from oil or the oil will go passed the piston rings and flood where the spark plug is and it will stop your engine and might damage your piston.

[@backendhandyman]

honestly I don't remember didn't remember there being an issue cutting sideways, but then again i was just hacking it up man!

[@gusalvarado8298]

That’s what happens with 2-stroke chainsaws. SENIX 4-Cycle tools have a patented 4QL technology that doesn’t require mixing gas and oil… and can be used at any angle.

[@Vadergn1]

Where did you get the wrench to adjust the carburetor? I cannot find it anywhere. Do you have a description or a code number for it?

[@jajaid6]

I got mine from Amazon. Hipa small engine carburetor kit,comes in a small hard case with lots of different screwdriver type tools with different ends and small wire brushes for small ports.dont remember price or have a link,just the name on my kit.very worth it if you're working on small engines.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

When I first started to watch the video, the first thought I had was, I hope he snugs up that chain a bit.

[@mociczyczki]

idle screw L must be highest posibble for 4 stroke engine than T screw you lowering rpm at idle …

[@Ryu-ff9tm]

Apa bisa di beli online saya ingin mempunyai mesin ini

[@hossg5018]

When you set your legs down on a manlift you don't just max them out, you get all 4 down and keep them as wide as possible with also staying level and some of the weight off the tires.

[@jakehart7617]

Seems like there’s no power compared to 2 stroke saws.

[@brandonsmith3447]

Where the hell is your scrench at my man? 😂 For real though, a four stroke chain saw sounds like nothing but extra weight and extra back pain to me.

[@barrygolden9823]

How is your saw holding up long-term?

[@backendhandyman]

Still going, having to tune it every once and a while is a pain, but then again haven’t used in a while

[@nonrev64]

It has a low oil shut off.

[@backendhandyman]

Yeah I think so

[@SCNative_76]

I knew this would be a comedy of errors when I saw the coexist tattoo.

[@georgekershner6626]

À cheap funnel would work

[@backendhandyman]

For?

[@georgekershner6626]

If you look back on your video, your having a hard time getting motor oil in the saw, also i have the same one. It's in book 10w30 but sae 30 probably better. Curious where you get the carb adjustment tool, i bought kit and just ordered another with the o circle because the first one didn't have one.

[@backendhandyman]

@@georgekershner6626 yeah I think I added one. In the description

[@dennisconstantine624]

I definitely wont be buying that piece of crap, thanks for the clip you’ve saved me money.

[@crxess]

LOL........ Ego trips...... You have a guy with no knowledge of Chainsaws, tackling his first Tree Felling(by himself) and getting it done over the weekend. Now, Why would he need to buy a Stihl or Hushy for a Single Job? By the way, mine is 6 months old and has cut through 3+ cords of hardwoods - still on the original chain,never resharpened. I have (3) 2-strokes(33cc/16", 40cc/18", 62cc/20") an electric 16" and the 49cc/18" 4-stroke. The Senix is usually my go to and it will easily handle 28"/30" logs. To each their own

[@jjdelgadojr9109]

​@crxess how can you cut horizontally with this chainsaw if it's a 4 stroke? Doesn't it starve engine of oil or oil can go passed piston rings and flood spark plug if you cut horizontally?

[@jaredlightfoot4115]

I’ll stick with stihl

[@user-ip4xl7kl4h]

4 stroke, half he power twice the weight.

[@backendhandyman]

hey it whooped that tee's butt!

[@justp1009]

Nice fuckin job brother!!

[@backendhandyman]

thanks

[@jaredlightfoot4115]

I could sharpen the chain but I don’t know how🤦🏻‍♂️ ffs

[@backendhandyman]

lol ain’t nobody got time for that anyways

[@dwheat9003]

Junk. Chain tensioning system is the worst, chain flew off, never had a chain fly off on any of my chainsaws ever. Also, you start it and after about 4 seconds it dies and doesn't want to start again. This is one of those do not buy items.

[@backendhandyman]

Yeah I had to tune mine straight out the box, that was frustrating but other than that mine did a decent job!

[@nathanmcdonald1585]

Was a pretty cool video until you started cussing the tree at the end.

[@backendhandyman]

Screw that tree man!

[@travisweldmaster7815]

Tune much...I cant watch thid

[@sebastianogalano1112]
