Busy is good!!
Good video my friend. Congratulations on your promotion. Nice variety of projects you've got going on.
👍👍 good video! What color you going to paint the house?
Staying busy bud congratulations on job
That chain is sharp. Might need new rings the way she stumbles
You have some fun projects going on, 1 at a time is all I can do, if not I'll end up with 50 small things all over the place to do. Drives me crazy sometimes 👍🏻 Stay steady buddy and congrats on the Pipefitter position.
I was looking into an outdoor and boilers need alot of piping so I plan on getting the type that pipes the heat in...2 intake 2 recirculation .....like 5 to 7k
I was nervous of our flute cuz same reason and my father in law had originally built it aeperate of the house so being completely external there's no chance......it will need relined
we keep a big piece of iron on the top of our wood stove and it holds heat for a good while after the stove dies down and kinda helps regulate the temperature a little. I think a big metal bucket of sand might work better tho. wasn't sure if you had thought about it but maybe it would help
I'm glad you do the videos. you and a few other guys help me more than you know with getting to enjoy my hobby while still at work on the road. thanks man for sure. congrats on the job
👍
Muffler built that 590 for me and it has been a great saw. That saw is running great
Nice runner. I’ve got a bone stock gray top 61 and it’s no slouch especially for being almost 40 years old.
Looking forward to seeing it in some wood.
Happy New Year to Ya 👍👍
I just built a 55 rancher, stock open port cylinder stock carb 205 psi static compression 108⁰ exaust and wide.... widened the intake no timing changes other than the base cut. It will tie with my stock 620 pw Echo with a 20" 3/8 pitch bar and chain in a seasoned 20" piece of wild cherry, i'm a big fan of compression and flow over high exaust roofs in a firewood saw.
Great video, man will a 440 carb fit it?
I don’t know. I don’t have one handy to check
@@Smittyschainsaws a 272 carb and carb block works nicely the 272 block has a more open throat than the 61
Coming right long bud
that saw has cut a lot of wood
Good to see progress on the 61.
😊😊 U need 2 take a wire brush and clean the file out they do stop ✋️ 😮 up W filings then they won't sharpen a chain the same way and when there is no teeth left onthe file they won't sharpen nothing either including butter 😮😮 OMG 1 1 25
365 piston is what I use in 61s but I cut all the clearance from the band
Hey Smitty, could you show how you cut the chamber with a piston, please? I'm interested to see how that's done.
It’s really not hard. Just use sticky backed sandpaper and stick it to the top of the piston. Use a drill to spin the piston slowly. Clean it very often with soap and water during the process. The super fine shavings are not gentle on the piston and cylinder.
HEY SMITTY, YOU CAN ALSO INCREASE COMPRESSION ON A FLAT TOP PISTON BY DRILLING SHALLOW "SPEED OF AIR" HOLE PATTERNS IN THE TOP. WORKED REALLY WELL IN MY OLD 394, AND MY 72CC 61...SEE: "SPEED OF AIR DIESEL PISTONS" ALL BASED ON THE "WATER HAMMER" DESIGN.
interesting
👍👍 good stuff! Happy New Year!
Man that Echo is loud!!! Even with ear muffs I would get tired of hearing that all day.
It sounds lean at idle that will also make it not idle right down off wide open throttle. My echos really lean out as they warm up.
Merry Christmas from France ! I love these homelites, and this one run very good👍 Are the reeds stock ? Do you know the numbers of this saw ?
Reeds are not stock. I don’t remember the numbers
glad to see you back making videos
Enjoyed the video sounds good. Congrats on your promotion. 👍👍
Shes running good and congratulations on job
Runs pretty dang his Smitty!!! That tree just knew you needed to run that saw. 👍🏻 wind has been crazy here today also.
👍👍 looked like some really hard stuff!
That was cool seeing you run it in a real world situation. I think it sounded lean off WOT back to idle and a little lean pulling off idle. I would say you have a leak
Problem is when I let it idle for a few. It just gets richer and richer. Eventually it gets fat enough that it is hard to keep it at idle. Pull the trigger to clear it up and it’s running super fat. Blowing smoke everywhere. I actually have the idle tuned very rich trying to compensate for what I think is a leak.
I noticed that when pulled from the cut it sounds lean with the high idle. You could be correct about an air leak. Thanks for the entertainment
My 562xp had a base gasket leak that caused the same lean high idle when pulled out of the cut
The clutch on the 550 has bonded clutch shoes, one or more has probably let go and needs phenolic resin bonding back to the clutch weights
Running really good now
a little cleaning would not hurt
do u set raker too for each? one thing i know that, if top plate set angle from 30 to 35, cutting angle also become sharper if ever u don't change motor head angle 60. 35 top plate may need 65 or 70 motor head to compensate for cutter's straight jumping on the bar
Yes
What’s your top 5

Merry Christmas... Nice Chainsaw. Greetings from Germany Peter 😎
Well done mate it's a riper
merry christmas
Merry Christmas to you and yours
I have the Poulan Pro version of that saw, it's the PP5020. Kinda similar to the 450 Rancher in many ways.They run pretty decent tho.
Merry Christmas Smitty and Family!!! Hope you guys and gals had a great day 👍🏻
Merry Christmas
😊😊 years ago many people did use regular motor oil 🛢 😊 4 bar oil and they did motor oil 2 mix W gas be 4 /2 cycle motor oil was made and most likely it's the bar on the saw the old 1S aren't like the new chainsaw bars U have 2 mod the oil hole some U can turn the oil pump up on them it also may be the bar oil U use and the bar can't be stopped up W dirt grit or sawdust either other wise the chain won't turn and the bar will get hot 😮😮 like that and will make a burr on the chainsaw bar then it won't cut like that either U have use a flat file and get the burr off of both sides of the bar top and bottom so it will cut like it should 😊😊 OMG 12 25 2O24
Clarence- The family bought a boat back in the early 80s, and when I asked the former owner about the oil mix he told me that a quart of the cheapest oil I could buy and top it off with regular (weren’t no stinking ethanol then) and the drive to the river would mix it up. I skied the Colorado River for three summers as I recall, never had any issues with the motor. Sandbars were a different story, but that old Evenrude never had any problems at all. Must not have been told about two stroke oil? 😂
From one water boy to another Merry Christmas!
Homelite run good .
