  • @douglasengle2704
    @douglasengle2704 2 года назад

    Great Video! What a find of a vintage chainsaw! 1956 was likely near the vary end of float bowl carburetor use for chainsaws. That saw would have been very limited in how much out of level cutting it could do. Old chainsaws with float carburetors frequently had it so the operator could rotate the carburetor 90° so the saw could be used for making horizontal felling cuts. I put 1/2" pitch Stihl chain on a gear reduction chainsaw and that old saw just sank through wood cutting out huge chips as it quickly munched down a log! It was slow cutting, but the chips it cut were huge so it balanced out to devouring the trees we put in on! It was fun to watch! These were very expensive machines when new. I use the US Labor & Statistic inflation calculator for giving current value of old prices. According to an economist that commented back to me that is not the way economist look back on past value they also considered how much lower average wealth influenced purchase decision. So lets that that Wasp 1956 chainsaw inflation calculated original price would put it at $3,000 in 2020, but it would be in effect even more expensive because average wealth was so much lower in 1956 than 2020. That makes these old saw a machine that could of only likely be purchased by major company.

    @benscoles5085 2 года назад

    This saw reminds me of my father's old STRUNK (i think that's how it is spelled). heavy ol saw, just lay it on top the log and the weight pulled it through the cut, hard to make the felling cut unless you were strong, some times it starved out cause it did not pressurize the fuel tank so well, I enjoyed watching this vid, some good memories the first time I ever worked with my father.

    The first saw i ran was my fathers 7-19 Homelite back in 1959. Then in the early 60's i cut pulpwood with a 500, 700 and 900 model Homelite's. In 1964 they came out with the XL-12, it was like a toy saw after carrying the 500 series. I logged full time up till 1989, i got hurt in a logging accident.
    Very good video

    I was hollering the jet in the bottom holds that on .IVE worked on those in the 60-70s. So many great old saws trashed for being heavy. But ill tell you a bow bar on them n they would cut effortlessly on downed trees. Firewood men loved them the wisse, the old 66 , big maccolagh saws pioneer. Fmc, David Bradley too. I think thats a tillotson carb.

    A little information sharing in regards to tightening a crankshaft nut with an impact. I used to and then to my horror, I was reassembling an echo 8000 a quick shot with the impact 3/8" dewalt and snapped the crank flush with the flywheel. Considering I was almost done with the project it was extremely demoralizing. I only use an impact for loosening flywheel nuts now. From there this saw from hell was sitting on the floor and while moving a cart I hooked the cord of my bench top parts washer which dumped all over my floor then broke off 2 of the top fins of my brand new cylinder because I didn't have the top cover on it yet. It sat for a year until I got over my dumb self. I did complete the saw a few months ago and it's back to the saw I used to know. Hope this saves someone a bad day and some money.

    If you want to find what areas of your ultrasonic tank has the highest ultrasonic power, float a piece of aluminum foil on top of liquid surface while ultrasonic tank is on. You will see holes develop in the aluminum foil...you will start to see a pattern of holes indicating where the highest level of ultrasonic power is concentrated. Typically the highest power will be directly above the transducers that are bonded under the tank. I used to work on these.

    Great video. I inherited a huge "Maul" Chainsaw, and intend to get it going. One think I wonder about the Wasp, is if the chain always runs, or if a clutch is supposed to disengage it at idle? Thanks.

      That's a good tillotson carburetor I can tell by the choke lever and the float bowl, @t power product
      Wait a minute that has to be a pumper isn't it?
      Yeah that's not the normal old tillotson, that's something different.

      So it's not a pumper

      When the crankcase pressurizes with the down stroke of the Piston those reeds close.
