Erica the Doctor of Chainsaws😊 That’s a dirty tank, flushing with straight fuel shows more! Thankfully the filters work😊 Like na new saw again😊 People should have Risers in their Septic Tank for easy access😊 Your Gloves Erica? You’ll be at 20,000 Subscribers real soon Erica🙏
OMG, this is wierd! I just filmed a video two days ago about the same lever popping out of place. I am publishing it tomorrow. I hope you don’t think I’m just copying you, Erica! Lol. 
Lol Steve - that’s hilarious! 🤣 While I have you here - do you want to collaborate on a chainsaw “aftermarket rebuild” challenge ? I’ll dig my Ms290 back up haha
I took my chainsaw in to the shop where I bought it. I couldn’t get it to run. I got home & the shop called about 10 min later said it was fine. I went back to the shop. Asked what was wrong. He said flooded. He showed me how to clear out the fuel. It was a little embarrassing, But I never did it again! Lesson learned!
I have worked on so many chainsaws with this issue, I have always said after giving back and working perfect, they ask how much for the work you did, I say take my advice in future or it's $300 repair bill, they laugh and go with my advice, i only do this with nice customers that you can tell are nice people from the get go 🙂
Awesome vid,Erica.I watched my neighbour cut a stump out of the dirt,bar length straight down.Stupid is as stupid does. Qoute Forest Gump. Keep up the great work.Love your honesty and no nonsense attitude. It is refreshing.
Really like the humor you are bringing to this wit the autopsy on the previous video and now the saw cemetery. Please do work on the other brands as well. Thank you these are so informative
The funeral of the 290 and the cat paying his last respects brought a tear to my eye. You have a dry type-A-person sense of humor that is hilarious. A deadpan delivery kills me every time. You should try doing standup comedy on the weekends. 😆
trenching! A friend and I were out removing a beaver dam one day, and he had his chainsaw with him. He grabbed the saw and made two vertical cuts down into the dam. Then we removed all the junk between the cuts and we had a neat trench for the water to flow out. Sure made easy work of it but the saw would have looked like this one when he was done!!! Thank you for this video, the interment was great!
Real funny with the Poulans all piled up --saves on digging and shovel wear and tear--thanks for all the saw videos--I collect and repair the vintage stuff-all brands -- Old Cat mechanic
😂😂😂😂 Re: the burial! Interestingly my one and only service of my MS180 when it came back from service it wouldn’t shut off, I immediately knew what this was as they had fitted new choke lever mechanism which a) hadn’t been slotted properly into the c slot in frame which if you break that piece I am advised is a costly repair as it cannot be glued or re attached in any way, but b) the black kill wire with brass end piece hadn’t been pushed along enough so that when throttle was closed the spring you mentioned to lift had no way in connecting to black wire with brass end cap. To kill chainsaw engine I used a screwdriver to connect between spring and black wire with brass end cap. I then did what the service centre should have done in UK and that was fit the choke mechanism correctly and never had a problem since. The service repairer in UK said my bar was worn and replaced that, but didn’t replace chain which I thought was strange, and also my chain sprocket I said was worn and it is, they said it was fine, but I replaced it and the chain and after that I service all my Stihl tools myself and look after them properly. I find them all easy to work on and get parts no problem here in UK. Interestingly will you be showing customer how to operate choke / engine kill switch correctly as if you don’t open throttle on handle before pushing choke down it will cause choke mechanism to come away from slot as the customer had found and prevent switching off chainsaw engine. That is how the choke will jump past that spring to end up in wrong position.
Hi Erica…A mate gave me a Poulan saw…after a day I gave it back! I worked in the transport and mechanical industry for 50 yrs, never ceased to amaze me what people did to Thier equipment! 🇦🇺🍺🍺
Looking forward to the 028 video. My Dad bought one new in 1988. He's passed now but I still have it. We were poor growing up but always had a warm house thanks in part to that saw. It has a 46mm piston and side chain tensioner., one of my most prized possessions.
The train station and graveyard had me dead. I would like to see you tou do the Susquehanna saw and the cub blower. Ty for the awesome video once again it was educational and entertaining.
I like telling them how I feel and everything you said I get. When I was picking up my trimmer at stihl a guy was dropping off the smallest blower that stihl makes. It looked like it fell out of his truck and he drug it through the woods and through the mud. I own one also and it looks brand new. He had something else going on like a terrible oil leak. I loved the graveyard!
OMG, I laughed my A$$ off with the burial and the music. Hilarious!!! When I'm done using my Stihl chainsaw, I always use my air hose to blow out all the dirt and sawdust. My saw always looks like new. I suppose if I cut wood 8 hours a day, I wouldn't do that just because I'd be really tired. That dirt looked like a bunch of centipedes. How the heck did all that get in that tank? I'm thinking his fuel mix container is full of dirt. Another fine video and I just keep on learning from you. Thank you! John from MI
I watched your previous MS 170 repair -- the one for 'bar chain broken', and you replaced the air filter for that. I seem to remember that when you started that saw, there was quite a lot of exhaust smoke. When you started this saw (in this video), I did not notice any exhaust smoke. I wonder why this might be? I have no current experience with small engines -- and the tiny amount I did have was more years ago than I like to think of. Your repair and servicing skills deeply impress me. You sure do excellent work.
Hey Erica , Chris Here I think you should do a video on the Husqvarna chainsaw and video on the just in case I'm not the only person having the same problem that 1 does. So if you don't mind I think we all would enjoy on it.
Nice service, with the piper and elegant tomb markers. (probably nicer than mine will be...8^) I think my wife is thinking my pickup truck cab would save a lot of coffin cash...she knows I am comfortable in there! ) Cheers!
Hey!! Have you been to the States looking in my shed?? I felt like you were talking directly to me about the dirty saws. 😂😂 I am so ashamed.... LOL Great work and really got a chuckle out of the saw funeral.
Iam watching you from Cyprus a small island in medditeranean sea. Of course we would like to see you fixing also huskys. They are the best saws😊 Those little ms170s are excellent Small saws very popular here and very strong and well builded if you consider that they have been abused by their owners so much.They are excellent small saws. They do not have an adjustable carb but it’s very durable. In Cyprus almost every house has one of those 170s
Watching your video and I saw you remove the needle bearing from the crankshaft and I was thinking to myself I just put a needle bearing on a piston pin in a rebuild I am working on now on a Husqvarna and I thought to myself did I put the right needle bearing in was it for a piston pin or a crankshaft so then I got nervous ran downstairs just to discover it was the right bearing.. whew!! I hate that sinking feeling of doubt in your stomach!!
Hey Erica, it seems to me the detent spring on the MS 170 is sprung too strong for the one-sided pivot of the lever. I think if you bend it back to take some pressure out of it, it'll allow the lever to move a little less prone to popping out of the socket. Hilarious funeral and "tomb" stone inscriptions, by the way!😉👍
I had the no start thing happen with my ms170. It can happen when you take the cover off or on in the off position. Put it to the start/choke position. Way smoother.
Hey Erica, great video! I cried a little tear at the funeral, another one bites the dust! Do you ever strain that cleaning fuel through a coffee filter and then reuse it? I found that to be very useful in my endeavors.
Well now this was a interesting video and I really found it interesting on the burial of the MS. 290. Besides that, you really have to like like the bagpipes.
Well, I have to admit I have had an older Poulan saw that was "less preferred" and may have been used to cut brush close to ground level yielding it pretty dirty. But i knew the bar was close to replacement and the chain had seen better days. But I needed something to make those cuts, or manually use pruning sheers into the dirt. You know which I chose.
I clean my chain saw at the end of the cut and I have from different manufacturers I get the parts break down for each, not a single saw, and will go for service at a small engine shop only parts that I need to replace
Yes do the husky! I have both stihl and husqvarna chainsaws. Like them both. Good video once again. Great cemetery scene. Do you do organ donor with your deceased saws? You might think about doing a visual drum sprocket video, ie this is good, this is usable, this isn't lol
I'd be interested in your opinion on using a pressure washer to clean a chainsaw. Is it safe if you securely block the air intake, or is it a bad idea? About dirt (as opposed to sawdust) in a saw, I've sometimes used a chainsaw to assist in extracting the root ball of a tree stump. Not a great idea I know, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. 😔
Using a chainsaw to access the septic tank? That's crazy. I do septic system inspections. Summer and winter. As long as the house is in use the tank stays warm and the dirt on top of the tank is thawed and easy to dig up.

It’s always a tearful occasion when a saw is laid too rest, with the sound of the lone piper playing in the background 😢

I like the no nonsense approach to your work, Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. 🙂
Well, like they say, treat your equipment casually, and it will end up a casualty! . Great video thanks!
Lol, this is funny; "An actual chainsaw burial." Ha ha, good comedy.
Absolutely we'd like to see you work on a Husky saw.
Your a great mechanic but your smile is just wonderful 😮 Thanks for the opportunity to learn from you 😊 West Texas

Speak your mind !!!! We know we gonna hear all about it !!
The chainsaw funeral was great! 😂 Thank you for spending the time making these helpful videos! Now I can fix my 170 if it has this problem.
Yes, I’d like to see videos on the Husqvarna and the Echo!
Super video on this issue - thanks for sharing this and the fix 👍 - of the small homeowner saws - the 170 is the best
Excellent tip on that plastic pivot point hole.😀
Love the the opening scene. About 4 0r 5 Poulans really made me chuckle!👍
Simple fix, I do like how simple Stihls are. Might need to get me one. Yes please on the husky repair

What a nice story. I will do a nice Stihl 028 video for you. I already have one - if you haven't seen it already...
@@marriedwithsmallengines I saw that one alright, I can't get enough 028 videos! Thanks for taking the time to make these.
Your slammed with work, thats great, pays the bills
Gotta pay those bills!
The train station and graveyard had me dead.
I would like to see you tou do the Susquehanna saw and the cub blower.
Ty for the awesome video once again it was educational and entertaining.
"Train Station"... LOL! Looking forward to the new second half of Yellowstone next month! Cheers!
My Homelite XL-12 with a bow -- the throttle control has never popped out of the slot--all metal construction--well made!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the chainsaw cemetery.😂😂 I work in a cemetery and there's been times when I've wanted to bury one of ours.
You're very kind to bury the Poulans. I've only ever thrown them in the garbage.
You due great work mrs. Erica and im sure your customers love and appreciate you
Loved the burial 🪦 😊
When we used to fork our silage by hand,(50 yrs ago)we used a chainsaw to cut the silage pit into squares to make it easier to fork

Nice Video, Good to see some different Saws in the Que, Husqvarna and Echo. 😊.
Great video Erica, it looks like he was cutting coal with it , you missed adjusting the bar holder 😂
I love Steely Dan.😅 But my favorite is The Guess Who from up in your way Winnipeg, Manitoba. Can't wait for the next video!
Erica, When I clean the gas tank out I take it over to the air compressor and give it a good shot of air. Just don't stand in front of it....
Nice service, with the piper and elegant tomb markers. (probably nicer than mine will be...8^) I think my wife is thinking my pickup truck cab would save a lot of coffin cash...she knows I am comfortable in there! ) Cheers!
Loved your video and your channel gets more exciting lol,awesome content on the burial.cheers
Hey!! Have you been to the States looking in my shed?? I felt like you were talking directly to me about the dirty saws. 😂😂 I am so ashamed.... LOL Great work and really got a chuckle out of the saw funeral.
That burial was too cool. But, as a scrapper, seeing that metal going into the ground, made my wallet say noooo. Lol
Tony supervising the burial was 😂. Sure would like to see other brands of saws. I used to run Husqvarna so I like to see difference in builds
Interesting. Never had something that wouldn't shut off before. I'll have to watch when you do the Echo. I have 5 of them, lol.
Awesome video, thank you. Great,work
Very funny intro! Still always formative
I have not laugh so dam hard in a long time,Chainsaw funeral lol People abusing their saws is beyond amazing the new levels you show.
This is what we see daily in the shop. You are just saying the truth.
I love your channel I saw you have a 028 with a running issue! I hope you can get to this soon! I have a 028 too!
Thanks Scott
Film all the repairs you can. It would be nice to see the Husqvarna and cub cadet repairs as well. Enjoy your content
Thank you so much!

Going after roots and stump, lol😂
I clean my saw after each use, and sharpen my chain
Coffee time, 😅.
Thank goodness! I need one today! Thank you!! 😊 🙏
Love the connotation to the "TRAIN STATION". maybe the saws will come back to life again, except mean and ugly, like "PET CEMETERY "! 😮
Haha :)
Great video! Can we exhume the 044 I need parts?😅😅
That's hilarious. I thought about writing cause of death on all the sticks...
