- A look at a saw we don't see a lot of in our shop. The customer stated the saw ran fine last time he used it and just wanted us to check it over. These are some basic things to look at between uses. #smallenginerepair

Nice to have a customer who looks after his equipment like this chap.
I picked a 488 up at a yard sale. Nice, well built saw.
My rule of thumb is to completely service my saw every Spring, or have someone do it for me if I'm not in the mood. Filters, line, plug, and carb kit.
I do blow off Saw Cake, check spark arrestor, clean the foam air filter, inspect the bar, and touch up the chain if I'm putting it up for a while after a few hours of use.
You should get decades of service out of a saw with a maintenance plan like that.
If only everyone took care of their chainsaw so good
Good saws for home owners
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
I have the same saw. Very nice unit. I prefer it over my newer homeowner/farm Stihls as its more of a "pro" saw. Magnesium casing, adjustable oilpump, quite light, reasonably powerful etc. Perfect for the Nordic forests. I recently bought a big box of NOS spareparts from a retired small engines repair shop so I can probably run it for the rest of my life. Good tip on the cleaning on the starter and flywheel side, I haven't done that recently so I'll better do it this weekend. 👍🏻
Yes good maintenance and a big box of spares ought to get you far!
How much did the shindaua 488 cost new and what year was it manufactured
Tons of great information. Friend gave me a husqvarna 125b blower. Body in great shape but plug hole cross threaded so has no compression. Any dependable low cost fix? Or save for parts? Thanks
The standard answer would be to use a Heli-coil insert to repair the threads but that kit is over $32 on Amazon right now. A new cylinder is $40 and a new ring is $6. A gasket kit is $20. I'd replace that cylinder for 1/3 the cost of a new blower and have all the power of a new one.
😀😊😀👍🏼
Sometime will you show tuning in the wood? Thanks
That probably won't happen. My employer allows me to record over the bench because I waste no time while on the clock and I appreciate that. I don't want to risk losing that priveledge because I used company time to set up and make a video. I also don't want to risk possible issues with our insurance company because of something they might not like. I can hear it now..."how did you cut your leg"? "Well I was trying to get just the right shot for my you tube video..."
