Awesome video! One of your best!

[@rollinon]

Thanks buddy!

[@damageinc2]

was given one that looks kind of like the one you have but no exactly just started looking up info on it to see if i can get it going.

[@dennisharrison4744]

A lot guys don't know it but the 010 feller gauge that's brass is for those type coils ever feeler gauge has a brass 010 brass doesn't stick to a magnet

[@rollinon]

That's genius! We use stainless at work.

[@franklucas6441]

did yours have crazy compression - just got same saw - very hard to pull over

[@rollinon]

It sure was hard to pull.

[@tonymayhew191]

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but that little button on the handle of this saw is a compression release? You need to lock that down before you start pulling the starter rope! It will shut by itself as soon as the engine fires up. If you go to, Mike acres site, and enter profile it will give you every bit of information on the saw your looking up . I own a chainsaw collection of around 140 chainsaws, so I know a couple of things about saws. And if you're dealing with a chainsaw that has a decomp valve on it that is telling you it has a high compression piston in it! High compression likes high octane fuel so don't run regular gasoline in this chainsaw! The pump fuel is shit these days and you will cause it to detonate and it won't run worth a damn!

@@tonymayhew191 I did not know! It was painful to start. Thought I was gonna rip my bicep. Thanks for spotting that out! Also thanks for the fuel tip Too. I have been running hi test but was not sure so I ran the same gas as my very old dirtbike. Very cool saw

If you decrease the shutter speed on the GoPro, the weird moving shadows from the lights go away

[@rollinon]

I will look into this. Thank you for your input buddy.

[@meme-gt9oy]

Nice video but disappointed that you didnt show the fuel line replacement.

[@rollinon]

Sorry about that! Stick around. I'm sure I will be replacing one in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@farmbossmikey1350]

how can I get my roper crasftman chainsaw running like you did

[@rollinon]

Did you watch the video? The biggest part is the carb. They are tricky.

[@farmbossmikey1350]

@@rollinonyeah I’m gonna try to do the same way

[@dennisharrison4744]

Iv got 2 of them and a sears ranger that looks new it runs missing air filter cover the other 2 crasftmans dont run
