woods walk/ pressure and vac testing on a McCulloch

[@chriscuts1201]

I really enjoyed the little nature walk in the beginning. That was nice. Tick season! Yuck! Thanks for explaining how to vac test. Take care Tinman!

[@KowboyUSA]

Been 40 something, maybe 50 years since I had a McCulloch. Nice seeing someone keeping the old girls alive.

Nice! Ya got off real ez this year👍 looks like my home as a kid. We were raised on the outskirts of Winnipeg. I remember digging tunnels through the drifts in the field behind our place this time of year. Even here in north western Alberta it’s been a splendid winter😁the best since I moved out here. I hope to meet ya at the next Buckin Stock🇨🇦⚙️⛓

[@jonathanhall136]

Thanks Tinman, good info to know. I love the fact that you're happy to share your place with the wildlife you're a good man. 👍

[@anthonymcmahan6373]

Thanks for sharing this. I’m gonna try it one my old stihl 011AVT. It won’t come back down to idle and my dealer told me that being an old saw it’s more that likely the crank case bearings

Another informative vid as always. Enjoyed the back yard stroll. Be safe and be careful.

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Love the channel, nice to see someone just having fun hopping up saws! Keep the vids coming!

[@lsj1]

Hey, Tinman. Have ye looked at our local Kijiji recently? There's 15 antique powersaws up for grabs. If I had the space for them...

[@tonymayhew191]

It blows my mind! How ridiculously tight the little bolts and screws are on some of the saws i work on. Yes, I am well aware that there are some stuff that needs locktite blue on them But magnesium and aluminum are easily warped when over tightened. Not to mention, They were so mass produced with very mild quality control over the tolerances back in the day. At least that's what I'm gathering with each chainsaw i tear into of my collection of around 60saws. I have been knocking the high spots on my sealing surfaces with 150 sandpaper, And then go back over it with a handheld Honeing stone with a squirt of WD-40 and polish the gasket mating surface until its flat. I find that I get much better results from doing this as apposed to relying on just a gasket to keep things sealed! And believe me! I have ran across some crazy stuff that got out the doors of the manufacturing plant! The last one was a homelite 330 that I got ahold of recently. The saw has very low working hours on it but like all 330 homelites, The intake boot has a hole rotted through it from the Benzene in pump fuel. But what i found while removing the carburetor and intake plate was a broken off end of the tap that they used to thred the hole that holds the carburetor to the plate! The saw probably ran like s%#t right out of the box! Due to the broken off piece down inside the hole was acting as a stop,Not allowing the bolt that holds the carburetor down to go deep enough into the hole to hold one side of the carburetor down causing a big vacuum leak! And it appears that it was never diagnosed and the owner of the new saw finally gave up and put it back in its case and jumped on the hater of homelites train since 1983 when he purchased it and couldn't get it to perform properly right from the first pull🤨

[@kennethfraser9006]

Cheers tinman! just recently invested in a mityvac two of my saws seem to have an airleak pto side thanks for info! Your videos always seen too come right on time. Since I moved to to NZ from Scotland I really miss having my own patch of dirt to roam.

Thanks 906

[@mikahakkinen5651]

very good explaining

[@loganwhite6403]

great video as always im interested to see what the problem with the mac is an excited to see is run at its full power

[@LumberjackSmokestack]

Hey Tinman, such great information here! Love it. At our place we have foxes as well, and we do have livestock. But I really don’t mind them it’s those darn coyotes and mountain lions that are a bane for us. I lived in the city for the first 20 years of my life. I’ve spent the last 20 years avoiding it as much as possible. We live in a community with a population of 42 and not much has changed for us with distancing or lock downs. Except maybe the speed of mail. I’ve got 2 more saws coming next week, I hope but we’ll see how UPS is doing. (Yes I have a problem) haha! But I’m pretty sure a vac tester will be on the soon to purchase list. Thus far I just take my best guess that it’s leaking and pull out the good old carb cleaner. I usually have a messy saw bench. But I always feel compelled to clean it before shooting a video. I know that’s not a realistic view. But somehow it’s a compulsion.

[@tinmanssaws]

Hahaha the plight of the saw builder, "clean my bench or build another saw"

[@pm270100]

if i need to go in the plug hole i use an old OLD that has 2 hex on it unscrew there your fitting for the head

[@michaeldankert1962]

Nice video, I love the outdoors. One question, why do you pull the recoil cord when you shut your saws off?

[@jeffreyrubish347]

It keeps the starting dogs from binding up.

[@G-PA-2795]

Thanks for the leak down demonstration. How many acres are you sitting on?

[@Finom1]

Thank you TinMan, that was very informative.

[@szaboendre9368]

Great stuff godd tutorial.would you consider farm swap in australia 🦘 6 month? Love to hear your thoughts.

[@antitactical]

The mitivac silver line kit comes with a spark plug nipple. And don't forget to check your fuel before doing the ol flip test. I was fussing because a saw was stumbling when flipped one way. It had less than 1/8 of a tank of fuel in it. Ive never been that far up north but I've been to the great plains in Nebraska. It was kind of wild how flat things really are out there

[@tinmanssaws]

Lol, I'm so uswd to the flat, hills are what scare me.

[@stevetheriault4164]

We get hybrid chores her in ontario also they get pretty big

Some great tips in this one TM, enjoyed the start also. Have to look after native animals. Btw are those foxes native to the US? I'm in Aus and we have English foxes

[@kevinthom8267]

Was the compression tester from canadian tire with the quick connect to attach the gauge

[@gusbuster8068]

I’m working on a Husky 2100 and it is a pain in the butt right now! I’ve tested the carb it holds pressure and has new carb kit installed but it won’t stay running soon as I push the choke in. I’ve cleaned muffler and I’ve even tried running it with out the muffler but still dies. Has ton of compression brand new rings and piston. Could it be a electrical problem? Not sure how to check grounding issues.

[@jeremylyons6252]

So it runs until you push the choke in? If it does run until you take choke off and then dies it means you have a fuel issue. I'd say it's starving for fuel

[@edwingroening5087]

If you tilt a saw forward(bar down) and it stalls, is that flooding? Low jet too rich? Great video! Now I need a vac pump.

[@tinmanssaws]

Often thats a rich saw, sometimes that can be an airleak..

[@edwingroening5087]

@@tinmanssaws Thanks for the reply Tinman. It's one of my buddy's saw and we'll investigate👍

[@swordfish1120]

When testing the vac do move the piston to bottom dead center or top dead center? Also, when testing cylinder and crankcase pressure is bottom dead center the ideal position?

[@SOHN32]

That hat fit you buddy.

[@codyroger9581]

So how does a fella do that on a saw with no impulse line and uses a intake block like a 266?

[@tinmanssaws]

Make an adapter that hooks up the hose to the sparkplug hole..

[@sundial6919]

Tinmans tuterals are well executed an a great public svc

Funny, just bought a new mv8500

[@ozdatman]

Foxes are a big problem in Australia being introduced. We have a lot of small marsupials which they and cats are wiping out. There have been cases where they will chew the teats and tales off cows for a quick feed. They get no love from farmers down here, no foxes in Tassie fortunately.

[@retiredwelder]

Great video bud. You are such a great teacher. Beautiful property you have. I saw some big spruce or fir way way back. Is that yours too?? We have to kill a few coy dogs here in Maine because their way over populated. Thanks for the great video. As always WORK SAFE 😎😎

[@tinmanssaws]

Those are spruce in the back. Fairly tall, maybe 80 feet some of them.

[@jeffreyrubish347]

I don't see coyotes but we've had foxes. One of them claimed my driveway: left some scat one day and later a squirrel rug, lol. It ate everything but the hide and head. I've heard wolves won't tolerate coyotes much less mate with them.

[@ChippyOutdoors]

Yotes and wolves have been known to cross breed but yet don't tolerate them. Not sure why or what makes them want to cross breed but they have a history of doing so

[@jeffreyrubish347]

@@ChippyOutdoors Interesting. I found info on it now. They look like an abnormally large coyote.

[@ChippyOutdoors]

@@jeffreyrubish347 ya I shoot yotes sight on scene personally, area I hunt wolves have been pushed out and yotes have moved into the big bush which isn't normal neither, I believe all has to do with the earth going through its life cycles.

Wolves and coyotes occasionally mate with German Shepherds and other domestic dogs as well as each other.
