CHAINSAW VIDEOS

* VISUALLY EXPLAINED Have you ever wondered why a two stroke engine can work up side down, and a conventional four Stoke engine cannot? Well, its all in their design of course, and this video will help make this a little more clear. Generally, both the two stroke carburetor as well as the engine, is structured very much different. The two stroke usually uses a vacuum type mechanism, where as the conventional four stroke carburettor has a float bowl structure where the neat gasoline fuel will contained ready to be used by the main jet.

* VISUALLY EXPLAINED For some FREE Printable Download help Leaflets: https://www.therepairspecialistonline.com/ Choosing the right chainsaw chain replacement is crucial for optimal performance and safety. It involves understanding chain and bar numbers and selecting the appropriate chain size. In this guide, we'll demystify the process, helping you make an informed choice. 1. Understanding Chain Numbers: Chainsaw chains come with a series of numbers that indicate their specifications. The most common format is "Pitch-Gauge-Drive Links" (e.g., 3/8"-0.050"-72). Pitch: The distance between three consecutive rivets divided by two. It's a crucial measurement that must match the sprocket's pitch on the chainsaw. Gauge: The thickness of the drive links, which fits into the guide bar groove. The gauge must match the groove width on the bar. Drive Links: The number of individual links that engage with the chainsaw's drive sprocket. 2. Chain Pitch: Chain pitch determines the size and spacing of the chain's drive links. Common chain pitches include 3/8", 0.325", and 1/4". Ensure the chain pitch matches the sprocket on your chainsaw. Smaller chainsaws often use 1/4" or 0.325" pitch chains, while larger saws use 3/8" pitch chains. 3. Chain Gauge: Chain gauge refers to the thickness of the drive links. Common gauges include 0.043", 0.050", and 0.063". Ensure the gauge matches the groove width on your guide bar. Larger chainsaws typically require thicker gauge chains for added durability. 4. Chain Length (Drive Links): The number of drive links in the chain affects the fit and tension on the bar. Accurately count the drive links on your old chain or check the chainsaw's manual for the recommended drive link count. 5. Matching Bar and Chain: Ensure the replacement chain matches the length of your guide bar. A chain that is too short or too long can lead to safety hazards and inefficient cutting. 6. Additional Considerations: Choose the type of chain that suits your cutting needs (e.g., full-chisel, semi-chisel, low-profile). Check if your chainsaw requires a safety chain for certain applications. Consider the chain's quality and durability, as high-quality chains tend to last longer. 7. Consult the Manual: Always refer to your chainsaw's manual for specific chain replacement recommendations. It may provide guidance on suitable chain types, sizes, and maintenance. Conclusion: Buying the correct chainsaw chain replacement involves understanding chain and bar numbers, chain pitch, gauge, drive links, and ensuring a proper fit with your chainsaw's guide bar. Taking these factors into account will help you choose the right chain for safe and efficient cutting operations while extending the life of your chainsaw.

* VISUALLY EXPLAINED Mixing up the high and low screws on a chainsaw carburetor can lead to difficulties in achieving the correct fuel-air mixture and, consequently, hinder the engine's performance. Here are some tips on what to do if you've inadvertently swapped the high and low screws during carburetor servicing: Identify the High and Low Screws: Firstly, try to identify which screw is the high-speed screw and which is the low-speed screw. In most chainsaw carburetors, the high-speed screw is usually marked "H" or "HI," while the low-speed screw is marked "L" or "LO." If there are no markings, check the carburetor manual or manufacturer's specifications. Consult the Manual: If you have the chainsaw's manual or the carburetor manual, refer to it. It often provides clear instructions on identifying and adjusting the high and low screws. If you don't have the manual, you might find it online on the manufacturer's website. Trial and Error: If you're unable to determine which screw is which, you may need to experiment. Start with one screw and make minor adjustments while monitoring the chainsaw's performance. Pay attention to how it idles and revs. The screw that affects the idle is likely the low-speed screw, while the one impacting the high-speed operation is the high-speed screw. Tune One at a Time: Once you have identified the screws correctly, focus on adjusting one at a time. Start with the low-speed screw, which affects the chainsaw's idle and low-end performance. Adjust it until the engine idles smoothly and accelerates without hesitation. Proceed with the High-Speed Screw: After successfully setting the low-speed screw, move on to the high-speed screw. Adjust it to achieve the desired high-end performance, ensuring that the engine runs smoothly at full throttle without sputtering or overheating. Monitor and Fine-Tune: After adjusting both screws, run the chainsaw and observe its performance. Fine-tune the screws as needed to achieve optimal acceleration and smooth operation across the entire RPM range. Listen to the Engine: A well-tuned chainsaw engine has a distinctive sound. If the mixture is too lean (often caused by incorrect high-speed screw adjustment), the engine may emit a high-pitched or squealing sound. If it's too rich (usually due to the low-speed screw), you might hear a deep, bogged-down noise. Listen to the engine to gauge its performance. Consult a Professional: If you find it challenging to identify the screws, or if you can't achieve the desired performance, it's a good idea to consult a professional chainsaw technician. They can quickly identify the high and low screws and fine-tune the carburetor for optimal performance. Remember that the proper adjustment of the high and low screws is essential for both engine performance and safety. Incorrectly adjusted carburetor screws can lead to poor engine performance, overheating, or even damage. Take your time, and with patience and careful observation, you can get your chainsaw back to running in top shape. This principle works for most types of Chainsaw saws, and the following also helps with Chainsaw maintenance. So, whether you are using a Stihl Chainsaw, Husquvarna Chainsaw, basically, all types of Petrol Chainsaw are valid for this principle, as well as many types of or a 2 Stroke Engine. The Electric Chainsaw, of course, escapes this whole principle!

If your Chainsaw won't Start, is HARD to START, or WON'T actually start at all, then this video has a practical easy to follow procedure for you to follow. A vital tool in your toolbox is knowledge. Without prior knowledge. If your chainsaw wont start, it can be quite frustrating, especially when you're in the middle of a project or need it for some urgent yard work. However, there are several remedies you can try to get your chainsaw up and running smoothly. Here are some common solutions: Check the Fuel: Ensure you have fresh, properly mixed fuel. Old or improperly mixed fuel can cause starting issues. Empty the old fuel and replace it with a fresh mixture of the correct gasoline and two-stroke oil ratio. Inspect the Spark Plug: A fouled or damaged spark plug can be a common culprit for starting problems. Remove the spark plug and check its condition. If it's worn, corroded, or fouled with carbon deposits, replace it with a new one. Clean the Air Filter: A clogged air filter can restrict the airflow, making it difficult to start the engine. Remove the air filter, clean it, or replace it if it's too dirty or damaged. Choke Adjustment: Make sure you're using the choke correctly. In cold weather, use the choke to enrich the fuel mixture for easier starting, and once the engine warms up, gradually disengage the choke. Compression Test: If you suspect a compression problem, you can perform a compression test to check the engine's health. If the compression is too low, it might require professional attention. Fuel Lines and Filter: Check the fuel lines and fuel filter for blockages or damage. Replace any damaged parts and ensure proper fuel flow. Carburetor Adjustment: If none of the above solutions work, you might need to adjust the carburetor settings. It's recommended to consult your chainsaw's manual or seek professional assistance if you're not familiar with carburetor adjustments. Regular Maintenance: To prevent starting issues in the future, perform regular maintenance on your chainsaw. This includes cleaning the carburetor, checking for leaks, and ensuring all components are in good condition. Fuel Quality: Always use high-quality, ethanol-free fuel to avoid gum and varnish buildup in the carburetor. This can clog the carburetor and affect starting. Remember to prioritize safety when working with your chainsaw, and if you're not confident in troubleshooting and fixing the problem, don't hesitate to seek professional assistance to ensure your chainsaw is running safely and efficiently.

* VISUALLY EXPLAINED When a chainsaw engine is flooded, it means that an excessive amount of fuel has entered the engine's combustion chamber, making it difficult or impossible to start. This often happens when the engine is excessively primed, or there's an issue with the carburetor settings. To un-flood the chainsaw engine quickly, easily, and safely, follow these steps: Safety First: Always ensure you're wearing appropriate safety gear, including eye protection and gloves, when working on your chainsaw. Set the Controls: Place the chainsaw on a flat, stable surface. Set the choke control to the "Off" or "Run" position and the throttle trigger to the "Idle" position. Remove the Spark Plug: Unscrew and remove the spark plug from the chainsaw. This step is crucial for preventing any accidental starts. Inspect the Spark Plug: Examine the spark plug. If it's wet with fuel, it's a sign that the engine is flooded. If the spark plug is damaged or too old, it's a good time to replace it. Clear Excess Fuel: With the spark plug removed, pull the starter cord a few times. This action helps expel excess fuel from the combustion chamber. Wait for a Few Minutes: Allow the chainsaw to sit for a few minutes to let the remaining fuel evaporate. Clean or Replace Air Filter: Check the air filter. If it's clogged or dirty, clean or replace it. A dirty air filter can contribute to engine flooding. Install a Dry Spark Plug: If the spark plug was wet, make sure it's dry and clean before reinserting it into the engine. Prime the Engine Sparingly: When trying to start the chainsaw again, prime it sparingly, usually just a couple of times. Priming too much can cause flooding. Start the Chainsaw: Reattach the spark plug, tighten it, and attempt to start the chainsaw. If it doesn't start on the first few pulls, you can try using the choke briefly to help the engine start. It's important to note that repeated flooding may be indicative of underlying issues with the chainsaw's carburetor, such as incorrect settings or a clogged fuel system. If your chainsaw frequently floods, it might require a more in-depth examination and potential adjustments or repairs. For this job the main thing I would recommend to use a good quality sparkplug removal spanner for a reasonable price such as this one on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3bIbaDN This principle works for most types of Chainsaw saws, and the following also helps with Chainsaw maintenance.

You will Make the BEST CHOICE after watching this Very Knowledgeable Video. - So let's begin: A secondhand chainsaw can be an affordable option to get a quality tool, but it's important to think about a number of issues before buying. The following points should be remembered: Examine the chainsaw's overall condition and age. Keep an eye out for wear, damage, or corrosion. Chainsaws that have had regular maintenance and are in good shape are more likely to be dependable. Consider buying a reputable brand and model that are recognised for their dependability and quality. Find a model that best meets your needs by researching various options. Determine the main reason why you'll be utilising the chainsaw before you start. For diverse purposes, from mild trimming to heavy-duty logging, many types of chainsaws are created. Bar Length: Select a chainsaw with a bar length that is suitable for the jobs you intend to use it for. Shorter bars are preferable for lesser chores, whereas longer bars are suited for bigger projects. Chainsaws are available in gas, electric, and battery-powered models. Choose a power supply that fits your preferences and requirements. While electric and battery-powered chainsaws are quieter and emit no pollution, gas-powered chainsaws are more mobile. Service History: If at all possible, enquire the chainsaw's service history from the vendor. Regularly maintained chainsaws are more likely to operate efficiently. Chain and Bar: Examine the chain and bar's state. Look for deterioration, damage, or dullness. Cutting safely and effectively requires both a sharp chain and a properly maintained bar. Check the chainsaw's safety features to make sure they have things like a chain brake, a kickback guard, and a throttle interlock. When utilising chainsaws, security is of utmost importance. Launching Mechanism: Check the chainsaw's launcher. Make sure it runs smoothly and starts up easily. Starting slowly could be an indication of deeper problems. Emissions and Regulations: Take into account regional and municipal emission standards. Make sure your selection complies with local laws as some places have limits on the usage of gas-powered chainsaws. Check to see whether the vendor is offering any accessories or extras, such as extra chains, tools, safety equipment, or carrying cases. These additions may increase the price of the purchase. Price and Bargaining: Do some market research to learn the normal price range for used chainsaws of the same brand and model. Be ready to haggle with the seller to get a reasonable price. Test Run: If at all possible, request that the seller run the chainsaw for you. Make sure it accelerates, cuts, and idles smoothly. Pay attention to any strange vibrations or sounds. Local Rules: Become familiar with any rules in your area that pertain to the usage of chainsaws, such as ones that limit loudness or stipulate safety precautions. Documentation: Request any available documentation, including the user manual or owner's guide. Having these materials can be helpful for maintenance and troubleshooting. Local Regulations: Familiarize yourself with any local regulations related to the use of chainsaws, including noise restrictions and safety requirements. Safety Gear: Invest in the appropriate safety gear, such as protective eyewear, gloves, hearing protection, and chainsaw chaps or pants. Safety should always be a priority. By considering these factors, you can make an informed decision when purchasing a used chainsaw, ensuring that it meets your needs and operates safely and efficiently.

All too often things are explained to us in a way that is difficult to grasp. I really hope that all of my tutorials are understandable by most, if not all, people who wish to view them. I want to help people understand as I was helped by some fantastic mentors during my years as a University student, in Science, and a trainee apprentice as an engineer. In fact, I could NOT have became a qualified repair engineer, followed by a Science graduate and post graduate, followed by the creation of these videos, if I never had these wonderful people in my life. Sadly, some of them are no longer with us to see these videos, which I really want to dedicate to them. My very first manager (Mr Nadin), who gave me a chance straight out of school despite me not being the most ideal candidate for the position of engineers apprentices at the time. He believed he could make an engineer of me. So first of all, if it were not for him I wouldn't be here with all of this knowledge today. I will always respect him and remain grateful to him for what he did for me. I'm so pleased I achieved an apprentice of the year award in 1994 to give him back some satisfaction that I was working hard, and that his belief in me paid off. I also want to dedicate these to my Father, who is still a practising engineer, for always pushing me into this field and ensuring I applied my mind to it. More than anyone else, I want to dedicate these to my amazing late mother, who nurtured, cared, loved and motivated me all of my life. When I was down she would always reach down and stand me back up again, telling me I was worth something. I only wish I could thank her in person and show her these videos. I realise now that she was my biggest and most amazing mentor. Thank you for 40 Golden years mom. I am always thinking of you! Finally, I want to give all of my love and gratitude to my incredible wife, the only woman I ever have, and ever will, truly love. She is my Rock! She is the only person who believes in me, and supports me, 100% in all of my endeavours. She believed in me from the moment we met, and saw some potential in me. She provided me with two amazing children, who have added a very challenging but completeness to our lives. I wanted to show three units of information that will help you order the correct chain for your chainsaw every time. If you have ever had to buy a new chainsaw chain then you may agree it sometimes is anything but straight forward. Usually, more information is required by the supplier than just the length of the bar, and make and model of the saw. The information that will get a direct hit with suppliers every time is the following measurements: the Pitch (the distance between 3 rivets, which is then divided by 2), Gauge (the thickness of the part of the drive links that fit in the grove of the bar) and amount of Drive Links themselves. My apologies, I forgot to mention about most of the Pitch information in the video, which is why I've included it above. I show you in this video how to find these three vital units of information. I hope this helps Many thanks indeed Craig Kirkman (Owner and Creator of the 'The Repair Specialist' Channel)

* VISUALLY EXPLAINED A chainsaw may not start due to various reasons, and troubleshooting the issue involves checking different components and factors. Here are some common reasons why a chainsaw won't start: Fuel Issues: Empty Fuel Tank: Ensure there is enough fuel in the tank. Old or Stale Fuel: Gasoline can go bad over time, causing starting problems. Use fresh fuel. Incorrect Fuel Mix: Chainsaws with 2-stroke engines require a specific fuel-to-oil mixture. Ensure the mix is correct. Spark Problems: Faulty Spark Plug: A worn-out or fouled spark plug can prevent ignition. Replace it if necessary. Ignition System Issues: Check for damaged wires or a faulty ignition coil. Air Supply: Clogged Air Filter: A dirty air filter restricts airflow, affecting combustion. Clean or replace the air filter. Blocked Exhaust: Ensure the exhaust isn't clogged, which can lead to starting problems. Carburetor Problems: Clogged Carburetor: Dirt or debris in the carburetor can disrupt the fuel-air mixture. Clean or rebuild the carburetor if needed. Compression Issues: Low Compression: A worn piston or cylinder can result in low compression. A compression test can help diagnose this issue. Choke and Throttle Settings: Ensure the choke and throttle settings are correct for starting the chainsaw. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Safety Features: Check that all safety features, including the chain brake and safety interlock switches, are functioning correctly. Flooded Engine: If you've attempted multiple starts without success, the engine may be flooded with fuel. Let it sit for a while to allow excess fuel to evaporate before trying again. Hydraulic Lock: If the engine has been overfilled with oil, it can lead to a hydraulic lock. Check the oil level and drain excess oil if necessary.

This is how insufficiently filtered air can caused engine failure. 12:09 - A personal Thank you from Craig Kirkman of The Repair Specialist.. I have included a link here that a good premium two stroke oil on Amazon. I am not the seller and I do not know the seller, but I know that this type of oil is very good and will help keep your chainsaw in tip top condition for many years: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007TJKJ4C/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therepairsp02-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B007TJKJ4C&linkId=920067555858172559f10ff6130631f1 This principle works for most types of Chainsaw saws, and the following also helps with Chainsaw maintenance. So, whether you are using a Stihl Chainsaw, Husquvarna Chainsaw, basically, all types of Petrol Chainsaw are valid for this principle, as well as many types of or a 2 Stroke Engine. The Electric Chainsaw, of course, escapes this whole principle! I want to thank you and I hope the information here helped.
