That was great , better than watching TV , these days. I actually learned something. By the way , I'm one of a few people in this country that has experience rebuilding letourneau electric motors and old GE trolley motors. THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS, PHENOMENAL.
I have been an auto technician for 30 years and I have to say your videos are the best, most entertaining mechanic based videos on RUclips. Keep on keepin on.
Incredible video. You're so good, I can't believe it. Gosh I like watching you work (actually, I like watching anyone else work). Never stop these videos. So wonderful. Thank you.
This was the first video I've watched of yours Taryl and for some reason it's my favorite one. You are a very knowledgeable man and I enjoy your videos man, thanks for make em.
Thanks for reminding me why I cancelled my Dish Network subscription. This is pure entertainment at it's finest. Sometimes reminds me of the Red Green Show. Thanks Taryl.
...u r right on about callin' today's B&S products "Breaks n' Scrap-em" ...they were NOT meant to be in service for a long time these days! Thx for bringing back some nostalgia and proves your willingness to help so many even experienced small-engine technicians!
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.
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 just love the way you say, "Poe-Zi-She-own". You are awesome, Taryl. The skits are "campy", but they are growing on me. They are getting better. You do know small engines like one reads about. Nice old chainsaw.
great old saw repair, ive had good luck with berrymans carb dip in my ultrasonic cleaner. some day l want to put 2 of those ah47 engines on a minibike,
Mustie1 please enlighten me why this chainsaw sold for $7500. Maybe a multimillionaire or billionaire collects chainsaws? $7500 would be chump change for them. Or the winning bidder knows something that we don’t know? Or maybe it’s not a legit bid?
Mustie1 Thank you for that enlightenment. It never occurred to me. That makes sense. Taryl & crew do a great job. As you know, it takes a lot of work to keep RUclips content coming each week. I don’t have the spare money to help financially. In the meantime, I do watch the commercials to the end - no skips.
wow reed valves ,,and new vs old gas ,,some work ,,i just finished ,doing a old machine ,,and customer ,,said what all did ya do,,,lol ,,i did everything ,,he said oh ,,not a clue i spent hours ,,making parts ,,welding etc ,,thanks for posting ,,but i did want to see it idle ,,the old motor ,,did the clunk it de clunk ,, thanks again ,,keep up the good work
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.
Your one helluva mechanic,Mr. Dactyl! It alway"s amazes me how much smarter the old technology actually was.A tab on the point cover so you can gap the points,smart!Of course the maintainence on this old equipment is extensive.(the technology wasn"t there yet)But things were built to last!Not planned obsoleteness!
Great video. One thing about the ultrasonic cleaner solution.....I have the same unit, and have tried a LOT of different solutions. Best stuff I've tried is Krud Kutter parts washer cleaner/degreaser. Safe for all metals, bio-degradeable, and works great.
Taryl, I'm a new subscriber and I have spent the last two days watching your videos. You have got to be in the top 10 small engine mechanics in the country. I've really enjoyed your videos.
...seems like the older some of get, we tend to get foggy brains ob where things are...good thing you are blessed with"Mr.Cameraman"..(obviously reviewing your vids is a great advantage!) ...right on Teryl..thank you!!🎉
Been watching A lot of your chainsaw videos lately. Awesome videos, thorough and entertaining. And gave me the confidence to work on my dads old poulan. Thanks keep it up!
Or after you dragged them two miles into the woods through two feet of snow. You get it running, idling fine, then as soon as you touch the throttle it dies and won't start again. Or is that an old Homelite issue?
A man's man had to run these machines and have great deal of patience an strength 💪💪💪💪💪to cut trees all day long !! Man this carb is complicated thanks for taking the time and showing this old saw because I never seen one these before amazing job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍no thanks I don't want operate the for a job
I used to have an old chainsaw that looked pretty much like that one. I think mine was an old homelite it was all metal and heavy. I used it in the early 80's
That took a lot of patience and skill . I know that wasn't an easy quick fix. A lot of folks would have given up or got mad and would have thrown it into a low earth orbit...great job man👍
I have two of these One is missing the air filter cover. The other one I thought for the past 40 plus years that filter cover that I have was so crude that it had to be home made. Now I see I was wrong. Yes these things are crazy heavy. I was thirteen when I got these I am 60 now. At thirteen years old my father took me to an auto parts store to get a petronics condenser that they had in stock. i cleaned the carb. and got it started. I love your videos
At least that's one good thing about equipment that blows, leaks oil all over, the bolts and screws come out easy. That point box looked mint. Even the bowl gasket was in one piece, lucky. I like the old carbs where you can actually get to ports etc.
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.
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.
I have a old Ryobi weed whacker I bought new back in the 90s and the mix ratio on that is 32 to 1. I have been using True Fuel and other pre mixed two stroke fuel at the 50 to 1 ratio in it for years and it runs like a top.
I still use my 1958 homelite zip saw with a 20 inch bar. I also use my 1963 homelite 51 with an 18 inch bar. They both run better than my three year old pioneer with a 20 inch bar. Oil today has a better ability to lubercate than oil in the 50's and 60's i run all my saws on synthetic 50 to 1. Never had any problems.
I guess the saw chain never stops moving at idle in 56. we still used buck saws and cross cuts in the woods for camp wood. only pros used saws. great video. the old saws were built to be worked on. thanks
That's how talented people make their money. Finesse. Not sketchy. Because he gives his all to getting er done. No worries for clothing. Or sound or smell. Fix first. The rest comes later. Cause the final diag. Go/ no go is there for him.
Saw the running saw carb adjustment notice.. Love that idea.. Thats like putting a carb needle valve adjustment behind the mower blade.. What a terrible design that was... THIS IS HOW MANY FINGERS LAID TO REST OVER THE YEARS!!!

I wouldn't have known about checking the reeds in it, Thanks for showing us how to work on these old engines.
Great video. Love seeing old stuff brought back to life. Wouldn't mind seeing Taryl and a hit miss motor.

This was the first video I've watched of yours Taryl and for some reason it's my favorite one. You are a very knowledgeable man and I enjoy your videos man, thanks for make em.
I will probably never own one of these saws but I learned about 10 useful things in this video. You, Sir, are a genius!
You are a great mechanic. Not just a parts replacer. Love your videos

awsome watching someone who acually understand points and sparks. a lot of people overlook the condensor and if i can get one always replace it
I know what it's like to get an old abandoned chain saw running again. Kinda fun. Thanks for the videos.
LOL, you should have a million subscribers, I love the how to video's and the comedy side show is awesome. Keep up the laughs!
Taryl thanks for repairing this old saw hope you will do more antique engines!
As a collector of old chainsaws i liked this video a lot.
Great video Taryl and crew, always good clean fun. I enjoy your videos, usually learn something new.
