Doctor Ray, performing surgery while removing and installing a carburetor! What a royal PITA! This is one of those tough ones where I’ll be wearing a hat with a clip-mounted inspection light to see what the heck I’m doing. If there’s an easier method by removing more parts I’ll definitely go that route! 🔧👍 I’ve got long and short forceps so I’m ready when I finally get on this one.
Rather than lifting the bar while tightening the bar nuts I usually tilt the saw forward onto the bench. Just seems easier for me because you already need to hang onto the saw while tightening the nuts. This is especially useful for really small or light saws.
It never occurred to me to use a bent pick like that to clean the debris from a chainsaw. It does seem pretty effective and efficient because you can get into all the crevices with the point but also clear some of the flat surfaces with the side of the bend. I’ll definitely be trying that next! I have two paint brushes for cleaning saws - one is narrower and stiffer than the other so I have options depending on what I need. I drilled holes in both handles large enough to easily hang them on a hook to the right of the bench.
The ones I have aren’t stiff enough to get the stuck on debris. When I find some better brushes, I will probably use those most since they can be faster
Hey, Ray! I've got one of those! It was a donor along with a Shindaiwa from a baking customer. It's one of the ones I plan to keep for myself rather than flip if it turns out to be as great as I suspect. Will this be the impetus to clean it up, tear it down and do a full service so I can see for myself how great it is? Sure, after a gazillion other things I have to do, like the Shindaiwa, an Husqvarna, 2-3 Stihls, , pending customer work... The list is soooo long! ;-) Never enough time (or energy, at 77!). :) I'll watch this video later today and get back to you, of course! ;-)
I suspect one of the orifices in the carb still had some varnish partially blocking so it wasn’t priming well at the beginning. Eventually when you really got some oomph behind it and resorted to pulling off the bench it was enough to finally get fuel through to start dissolving the varnish. Or maybe just a tiny bit of fines that needed an extra amount of compression to blow through. Great saw, either way!
I just discovered by accident that this type of purge bulb releases completely by only prying out the locking tab on one side. It then tilts enough that the tab on the other side clears and the bulb comes right out. Who knew? 🔧😉
Happy Sunday a great chainsaw I like echo chainsaw there nice and lite I hope it will work out fine and u can get it running. I am looking for some projects saw let me know if you have any or no of anyone who has one

Hahaha yeah it was a little tricky
I could smell that red cedar from here! I’d have a hard time cutting up such a beautiful piece of potential lumber! Love that smell!
In this area they are easy to come by. We have a hard time getting walnut

Me too normally but everyone thinks I skip that part because they don’t see it load up. Yes your way is easier to me

Sounds great. I think the saw will surprise you

It’s a great saw. I think you’re right on the varnish in the carb

Oh really? I’m gonna go look and see how to do that. That would save me some effort for sure

I don’t know if it works on all applications, but I’m gonna find out! 😉

Free saws are everywhere! Maybe you can talk Ray into doing a video on how to find freebies. ;-)
@Rein_Ciarfella I wasn't asking you for anything but I don't need anyone's two sense
Will do. Usually I have to pay a little bit for them unless they are completely junk. Look for the yard sales and try to stick with the name brands
What city and state are you in?
