Hey Taryl, The Lever's Down!!😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha.
Taryl you are the man.
100
love how you have parts for 60 year old equipment
and... you know where its at
Yeah that don't happen ever around here. usually I find what I was looking for many months after I bought the stuff again...
Maybe he is just really really well organized I have a hard time finding tools let alone parts
"This saw is a collectable" --
immediately goes drilling on it. lol.
I love that
When this saw is together nobody's going to see those holes just a little bit bigger. So it shouldn't be an issue😮😮😮😮😂😂
From Don's Small engine repair you can cut your fuel line at the tip at a 45 degree angle I put a piece of small wire in the end of the fuel line and pull the wire and the hose through the tank make it easy on yourself love your they are so helpful God bless
And it just ends up ripping through the fuel line and doesn't work well
Here from MarksGreatMowers, I've done that trick a few times. Works good. Good tip.. thx 😊
They send you a wire with most chineseum carbetrators nowadays
Yeah a couple kits I bought for stihl had the wire
I use this trick all the time.
For those unaware of the meaning of 'hard as a carp', it's because carp (a type of fish), especially older carp are very hard to catch. So the saying usually implies 'something difficult to do'. But it can also allude 'something that has hardened with age' because very large carp, like those found in large lakes, have VERY hard scales. I've seen some where the scales are larger than and nearly as thick as a guitar pick.
Aw nuts. I thought it was a compliment.
Still though... If anyone was wondering how that saying came about... And the way Taryl uses the expression works
My grandpa’s favorite saying was “hard as grandma’s head”
LOL@@modoc852
thank You good men.
"Or on the wall at Applebee's" LOL 🤣
LOL your right have not been to a Applebee's in years .. But the one near me had a lot of memorabilia of the Fall River FD biggest fires in the City of Fall River Ma thought the years
I almost forgot Taryl was going to make a new video today. When I saw it, I click on it instantly!
Thank you 🙏 Every Sunday @ 9 am central!
Never happen without Mr Heat Gun !!!! Thank You Mr Heat Gun , you also Mr Taryl !!
Mr.heatgun doesn't use the proper pronouns in his speech...j.s...
I feel your pain about working on hand-held OPE units...in the shop I used to work at, that stuff caused a gigantic backlog of work orders every spring and summer season. It would take 6-8 weeks to get the units back to the owners, which they were not impressed with, but there were commercial customers with big stuff that needed it back asap, so the mountain of green weedeaters sat and waited. Most of the time, when we did get to them the repair was more expensive than a new machine. Lose-lose situation for all involved.
The old Poulans I have are definitely worth servicing. Current plastic turds, NOPE.
This is kinda wild. I work for an Ace hardware repairing small engines. One of these saws came in recently and I've just began working on it. It's actually Poulan branded and without the sharpener but otherwise same. Cleaned and reset points and got spark going and got her to hit and rev. Ran out of time that afternoon but will be replacing fuel line soon. From what I was seeing I wouldn't doubt if it hasn't run in this millennium ! The timing of this video and that saw showing up is very coincidental
Back when Poulan had a reputation for quality.
DOES ATF MAKE A GOOD HAIR CONDITIONER?...BTW,WHO DOES YOUR HAIR?...
Great work! Have a Happy Thanksgiving to you Taryl and everyone!
thank you for bring me along sir.
bless you and yours.
have a happy turkey day.
I've got to hand it to you Tarryl; I've replaced probably 25 fuel lines on that model saw (I worked at a Poulan dealer), and I really didn't think you were going to be able to fish it underneath the flywheel. We always removed the flywheel. Thank you. I don't know if I'll ever have to replace another one, but if I do, I'll remember your trick. EDIT: Now I don't think you'd have gotten the CORRECT size fuel line in there the way you did.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say...Taryl, the levers down, the levers down! Man that felt good to get that out of my head. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol I was going to do it, because i could't help myself, but you beat me to it!! lmao!!
Watching this 3 month old video..."Hey Taryl,....lever's down."🧐🤪
You sure it's get'n spark (?) 😅
got to hand it to you ....humor and wisdom all at once.
You and Skippy are getting along very well nowadays.
Because they're getting closer in age 😅
I like the way Taryl explains the sequence for adjusting those little carb's on a 2-cycle. I noticed the same thing about the amount of choke effect those get even with a brand, new air filter.
Sears " Barracuda" chains were expensive. They were a 3.25 pitch chain and the models that had regular chain had a 3/8 pitch chain. I have converted these old saws but you have to change both the drive sprocket and the chain. Those saws had both automatic and manual oilers. The auto oiler was a duck bill valve in the crank case that pressurized the oil tank
Those old Poulans are good starter saws. I had one 30 years ago when I first started out and it served me well. It was actually branded a Crapsman and I bought it used and made a lot of money with that little saw
That's back when they ran for more than a week or a one time use. They're called a pulling pro because that's what you'll be by the end of the day with it. Disposable saws. Switched to Husqvarna and Stihl 5 years ago haven't looked back
Those old mculluck saws were good to once u got em started the coldest codded engines I've ever seen them old homelites were great saws to I love the old 1950s Husqvarna saws I still love Husqvarna
Nice old saw. The power sharp feature can be handy for a quick re-sharpen on the go but eventually the depth gauges will need to be lowered. Good job.
I always grind down the depth gauges with a grinder about 1/16 and never have to worry about them 😂
I was worried you were going to cut
Mr. Heatgun’s cord with that saw
Very detailed and informative!
Thanks!👍
I have one, from 1975, great saw. Light easy to start, cuts real good.
That was a great repair, its hard to beat those little poulan saws. Thanks for another good show.
Taryl ! The lever is not up . Great video ! Skippy AND Mr. Heatgun . Thanks for the entertainment .
I think Taryl and Mr, Heatgun might give Jeff Dunham and Walter a run for their money! Thanks as always guys-love ya!
Taryl, THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS INSTALLMENT!
IPE no doubt (Information Packed Episode).
Keep it coming!
I really like seeing you statically working through problem's and showing things that you over looked. Very informative 👍
The first time I watched this video, I woulda sworn he peeled back the diaphragm and fingered the lever but... I was wrong
Sometimes checking your own work gives you the dinner
Reminds me of watching my grandfather work on stuff. Learned a lot from that man sitting on a bucket in the driveway. Miss those days.
Skippy is a classic Very funny
I always wanted one of those Poulan ‘76 Bicentennial saws.
Thanks for the in depth information
I am always repairing something. I like the little tricks he has like angling the fuel line. I always learn something that will help me.
these little saws was crazy tricky to get working because these tiny engines are critical to everything being dead on with seals reed cage compression points most i have worked on the older saws with points they always need a perfect gap a few micrometers off can drastically change timing as they depend on the precise moment they open to spark best to use a test light and feeler guage rotate and see if the gap changes or a test light
sometimes even putting a dial indicator to find TDC yes its a lot of work typically a decent drag on a feelers guage works
but then the reeds have to be tight or the piston doesn't push the fuel into the upper cylinder they was a fickle saw many ended up sitting in garages unused because getting them started was a real pain the mini macs was plagued by this problem too
then they was notorious for starting cold and not restarting after they are warm because you got great compression cold but they would expand and go low enough to not be enough for restart
a near complete rebuild typically is the only way to get them reliable
perhaps better quality rings
i typically flipped the reed or gently bent them more to get a better seal if obsolete an old reed from a dirt bike or even a pieace of fiberglass or carbon fiber can be cut and used
but for the size of the saw they wasn't reguarded as a go to saw but rather dropped from trees or turned into a boat anchor but vintage saws are nice to see around and restored for show purpose
or saw get togethers getting them going is the tricky part typically its getting the points dead on
Thanks for the info about how finicky the point gap tuning can make a big difference in performance.
Love the Skippy imitation!
I remember we had a Montgomery Ward chain saw that had a qwik sharp feature on it. Don't remember who made the saw, got it had an Eagle Claw chain on it. It would rip through some wood after you hit it with the qwik sharp
I like these old saws, just keep in mind they don't have chain brakes or even a guard like this one. We've used them like that for decades though, in many ways I think they are better than they are now.
We have a decent Still but I like using my similar Blue colored Homlite superXL. It's old, no safety's, no anti vibration and for being "small" it cuts and screams like crazy... Fires everytime too
By far
I actually have a later version of that same saw. That one is all aluminum tho, where mine has some plastic parts. Same basic design tho. Mine is red, but also has the power sharpening system. I had a grey version as well many years ago, but it didn’t have the power sharp. On the later one the fuel line runs thru the top handle. You can remove the top of the handle with one screw, so it’s pretty easy to replace the line.
Thanks for the humor just need the laugh once in a while.
Hey Terrell I found it a little bit easier using silicone spray on the outside of small tubing that has to go in small spaces
I've used something like armorall, I figure it help keep the tubing conditioned longer
I use 2 stroke oil to coat hoses going into the tank, they slide in and seal up fine..
Silicone grease works well too
Use isopropyl alcohol, it lubes the rubber and then dries without residue.
In 1979, when hurricane Fredrick said hello, I bought a Craftsman/ Homer-lite 18'" that had that same feature and it
work very well. I had that saw for years, it never failed to start, only had replace the clutch assm. and the sharppening
stone once. I gave it to a younger family member in 2019 it must have had 300 hours on it !
Yep. Taryl tackles the tough tasks.
Gooder than new.
Enjoy watching you work on machines that were popular in my day.
Great video! I really appreciate your "never quit" attitude and always looking for a way to "get 'er done" which helps me in my shop to think outside the box. My dad (87 years old and still flying his 2 airplanes)has always looked for ways to repair instead of just throwing equipment away. Thanks again for sharing the expertise and experience of your craft.
Some of these repairs looks like you are doing heart/vascular surgery!
Thank God! I was worried about Mr. Heat Gun! It's been so long since I seeded him I was afraid something bad had happened.
He’s still got some heat left in him 💪 😂
Same thing with Sears as with Crapsman. Dad had an old Sears chainsaw in his garage. Thing weighed a ton, and huge chain bar! Lost a lot in that estate fiasco, but that's the past.
Always learning on your channel. Thank you. please/thank you one more thing. It's interesting these tools from 70's etc. have side 'gimmicks' like the chain saw sharpener on this one. And I've seen other examples on your videos. Have a nice day Grass Rats. 🕊
Taryl, you might as well have at least one chain on hand with this saw. I have seen my neighbor sharpen the chain so often that the chain was "Sharpened Away" in a day. The tendency of the user to over sharpen the cutting edge of the cutting chain.
Nice video as always Taylor. looks like you will be A MECHNICING WE WILL GO FELLA. Peace too. v
yeah buddy. its a poulan, you'll be a pulling pro by the time you get it started
Yeah, and I have one. Should be re-named Pull-On because that’s All you’ll be doing.
Look forward to a new video every Sunday
I like the drill out the hole method
The original was only around half a hole, unfortunately.
How many different people does Slipper’s play. His voice is in every video . The father and three Sons ❤
I mean two Sons Jr. and Slipper’s
He does Slippers, Ronnie, Scruffy and maybe a couple more. Oh yeah, I forgot about Skippy!
What? What???
I don't understand what you're talking about.
yeah and he cant act his way out of a paper sack.
Slippers plays approximately 3,474 different characters on the show. Thanks for watching
Hi Terrell,I had a craftsman saw from seventies made by Poulan with the plastic covers 16"saw cut good ended up giving it away when I went echo 14"saw. Happy Holidays to you and family .DAN from Ohio
I've seen the sharpening feature on a few McCulloch saws. The sharpening feature ruins chains because it sharpens the top of the tooth. Wouldn't walk down the street for any product that does that. A lot of people that had those saws disabled the sharpening feature and went back to traditional methods.
I have a similar crapsman saw without the sharpening feature.
Thanks for the video. I learned a lot.
Thank you for the tune up guide. I have a "Sears" Power-sharp CS. Mine has an 18 inch bar and is powder blue and white paint scheme. The power-sharp feature has been lost to the ages but thats OK. I think I need to re-gap the points and clean them. The parts manager at Home Depot took a picture of my saw because he had not seen one like it before. He was a young guy. My saw was 20 years old before he was born.
I really enjoy ur traditional/coal style forging.
I have a small smithy and seeing you work in a "primitive " shop is much appreciated.
The little thing sounds good, I have one of those red white and blue 76 saws bought it new when I was a kid never ran worth a darn .
I just luv this man!.. ive been a mower mechanic at golf courses here in Australia, I job which i really enjoy.. these videos are such a pleasure to watch. it reminds me of my dad who was a diesel mechanic when I was a kid with him at his workshop.. best memories.. Thanks Taryl!.. Danny
Great video Taryl! Please refraim from cutting cinder blocks. That might dull your chain.
Hey Taryl the lever is down! 🤣😅
Neat old saw, I have that same Craftsman powersharp saw in red, with the original case too. Need to get it running now, great video as always!
I had the Red Craftsman like that. Believe it or not, Consumers Report rated it the best for homeowners. I bought it on their recommendation.
A true master at his craft, thank you.
That was a great skit and this is a great vlog on a pretty cool little chainsaw that was probably a work horse back in the day for the family who owned it…👍👍👍
Did anyone else notice?.....b & s oil cap...and Tecumseh pull cord handle?
Yep, noticed it Right off , Not after Taryl pointed it out.
Yes Taryl I watch you all the time day and night. I always learn something. I've been working on these things since I was 9 years old. I would make sure the lawn mower would run good then I would tear it all apart sand it paint it put it all together that night and I would do one mower or a day everything. Making it run turn it down sanding it painting it putting it all back together all in one day and night. I loved it I still do. Just watching your videos sometimes I see it makes some things a lot easier doing it your way. So thank you for your videos. Keep making them then I'll keep watching.😊
I had a red one for many years , it was great little saw, never fail to start
Very glad you could save that cool chainsaw. It's a perfectly good tool. Why waste it? Really good tutorial from a real pro. That Tillotson carburetor looks so delicate it could be designed by a watchmaker. My late brothers Model A Ford had a Tillotson. Great video.
That little saw uses a barracuda chain. I had one for years and it worked great.
Sharpening the top of the tooth is something I never saw.
Enjoy your videos have helped me alot been working on mowers & stuff for 20yrs never get too old to learn you a good teacher. Appreciate you.
Rotary 6617 fuel line will work; I use it often on Poulan and some Husqvarna saws. On other AYP equipment that uses the smaller size fuel line I use Rotary 6616.
You should always put a a cloth down to keep parts down to keep them fron rolling off the work bench. I use the red ones from harbor freight
❤another great video, thank you guys
20:37 this trick also work great on lawn tractors where the fuel line runs along the frame.
Do you have any more old tires for sale?
That saw was made in Shreveport, Louisiana in the late 70s early 80s. The date is determined by the anti-vibe mounts on the handles. Poulan didn't put anti-vibe on those saws till the end of production. My first saw was a Poulan 25DA, which is the same saw but .2 bigger displacement. The DA stands for Deluxe Automatic for the Automatic oiler. My saw is a 1977 model and does not have the anti-vibe at all, where as I also have one of the last production that had anti-vibe. Good video.
Taryl, I know that you have probably tried it before, but, my Dad showed me a long time ago to used liquid dish soap to pull/push your fuel lines through tight holes like in the fuel tanks. It’s super slippery and it dries out and forms a seal, where oil doesn’t dry out. Is something about it that you might not like? Just curious and value your opinion!
You gave a great prestation as how to repair/maintain most saws that are being used by the common men of today. Keep up the great work informing people what should be done.
Great video buddy thanks for sharing have a great thanksgiving
Another great video. Keep them coming.
26:42 It would be interesting how the factory did the fuel line.
1:20:04 That is interesting.
Hey Taryl, the levers down.😁 TARYL, THE LEVERS DOOOOWWWN!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
I was given one of these saws by my neighbor in the 70's. He had put a regular 325 chain on it and was frustrated it wouldn't sharpen itself. I tried to give it back to him after I fixed it, but he wanted nothing more to do with it. Sold it at a yard sale for $25.
Many things are wrong with this system: expensive proprietary chains, stones wear out quickly, only a few sharpenings wears out the chain pretty fast, still have to file the teeth when the tooth sides get dull (the sides do most of the cutting), still have to file the rakers down every few sharpenings.
Really only useful for occasional use and very light touch ups 2 or 3 times, then you put a different chain on and when a few chains are dull take them to somebody that knows how to file or grind oddball profiles.
Man, you impress me every time! I have one of the McCulloch saws with the sharpnin thang, but i don't have the special chain. It is a teeny tiny saw, you almost want to stick the blade down in your pocket or make a keychain out of it. It's so small, your hands are too close together and you have no leverage. Most uncomfortable saw I ever used. You just about have to use it one-handed. Anyway, that was a terrific video and I learned a special chain is needed.
Thanks a bunch for bringing some old memories back
Well I've got a few of the Poulans ( yellow ) like that ( non power sharp ) and I've restored a few of that model for a few folks and I've got a few other models of Poulans ( Craftsman ) and Mac's with the power sharp but that's the first model (all metal ) one I've seen with the power sharp . It's probably collectable because of the power sharp being on that model and I'm sure you know it takes a special chain for the power sharp . Well I've replaced a lot of fuel lines on two strokes and I ain't never did it that way . I've buy a fuel line kit from Home Depot that has different sizes fuel lines and a wire tool to pull the line through . I buy the kit most of the time just for the tool .
A video on the Briggs 420cc 13.5 that comes on the Chinesse mini excavator would be good... There's getting to be a lot of them around and should be starting to crap out soon.
Great video,when i saw power sharp on that old thing, i remember the old ones,and remember buying into the new power sharp program, that was years ago,they are still here, great video thumbs up 😊
It needs to be double insulated, or get you some rubber gloves so it won't shock you...
Taryl leaver was working when you first took apart 👍🏻
Hey Taryl , the lever is down.
Ohhh , you found out , . I knew you would.
Great stuff mate .
We love your channel here in Australia 🇦🇺
You are the funniest 😊 and the best.
Thanks for sharing all your wisdom and tricks.
Wish I could get to your shop one day.
If you are ever wanting to visit Australia 🇦🇺 , we'll show you guys a great time.
I love Skippy! He reminds me of my twin brother that died in the womb. He was destine for greatness until that horse kicked our mother.
i shit my panties laughing when taryll dactle was mocking him at the end
Good job man!!!! Nice long video, fixed that old saw right up.
Great channel dude!!
Happy holidays Taryl and friends! Always enjoy your videos.
As other commentors have said. Sharpening a chain is not only about the cutter teeth.
The depth gauges have to be adjusted also.
I use a chain file and do all in the woods.
Chains are cheap, so when my chain is done I just replace it.
Jonsered saw man....
powersharp does work ive seen it in use..just dont oversharpen the blade or you will wear out the stone faster than expected
Must say you're really good at what you do and really great and entertaining and educating blessed be your channel
so since the teeth of chains are "soft" steel coated in chrome. the idea being that when you sharpen with a file (from below the top plate) the harder chrome is your cutting edge. since this grinds on the top plate of the tooth its grinding the chrome plating and making the soft steel your cutting edge. it might cut but wouldn't is dull a lot faster and shorten the life of your chain? or did they have a specialized chain for this model?
I am from Nova Scotia Canada keep up the good work
