Using DAWN DISH SOAP works so much better is the ultrasonic Mr Magoo Milo, Maine

You're a brave man taking on this one! 😅 However, instead of all the faffing around you and others do, cleaning with scratchy screwdrivers and wot-not, why don't you just use a pressure washer to start with, take it apart and pressure wash it some more seeing as the engine on this one was clearly from the start going to be in need of replacement or a lot of TLC - and then start cleaning it with a brush and soap and and why not take off the bumper spikes before finishing the cleaning job? You are not the only one I've seen do this, is there a reason, it doesn't seem to make any sense to me to leave it on, and then decide to take it off and clean it too. I can't believe you went over the badging with a metal tool just to clean the oily crap off it! I'm not that familiar with Stihl badging but couldn't it scratch it? Is there a reason you put the pull spring back in but by bit rather than just pulling it tight outside of the housing FIRST before then dropping it into the housing?

OK. With out the tools. I can clean the filter and the outside dirt and saw dust/chips. Tell me what else is there a home owner, using the chainsaw can do to clean .? I have a Stihl MS 170. Live in Florida and Hurricanes ... Mostly used for limbs smaller then 18 inchs.

Great Video Thanks !

Thank you for all info!!

Epic restoration. Well done.

Looks like you used a cleaning solution in your ultrasonic cleaner that etched the aluminum carb? I know many heavy duty cleaners say explicitly not to use on aluminum. Simple Green HD (purple stuff) is good and won't etch alu!

Back in, I think it was 1991 or 92, I was a kid who loved chainsaws. I would hang out at the local saw shop and just stare at saws. No internet then so the guys would give me brochures and let me hold the saws. Good sports. A lot of people thought I was weird. And I probably was (Am??) but it's so great that with the advent of the communities like you have grown on your channel, us quirky ones with uncommon passions and hobbies can come together.

God the live laugh log bars on the cheap stihl’s are so ugly lol

WOW!!! THANKS, FOR THIS GREAT, INFORMATIVE/EDUCATIONAL DEMO VIDEO!!I HPWEVER,... I DOUBT THAT ANYONE TEARS DOWN THEIR CHAINSAW, ENTIRELY, AFTER EVERY USE, JUST TO "CLEAN IT".....

Thanks!

Good to see you are sorting things out 👍🏼. Wishing you all the best for the future and your family.

Happy Thanksgiving Chainsaw Ace! Your videos are amazing, and I honestly learn so much. Great tutorials. I can't wait to see the new upcoming video on that Poland F.

Good video! Original sprocket, plug and bar? Used but low hours? Sweet saw now.

Happy Thanksgiving, and Good Luck to you in the future.

Thanks for the update. Fully understood here. You and your family also have a very good Thanksgiving!!!

To bad we all couldnt afford a dry ice blaster. It would save on all this stuff. You can clean your saws and atv's. Detail your car. Strip you furnature,old paint in or out of your house.

Seen someone using a heat gun on 4 wheeler plastics before.

Is it critical to have the piston at tdc for the vacuum/pressure test?

yes please make a video without special tools

You stole that saw.......

maybe I have watched this amazing details for the lifetime...👍

outstanding video editing, really dude, showing what needs to be L👀KED at.

I bought a sonic cleaner to clean part from my teardowns....works like a a treat!

I got one of these at a garage sale for five bucks a couple years ago, finally got it running. Ran perfect for about 5 minutes and then developed a rod knock. I ran 32:1 fuel in it like the rest of my saws.

The only part that irritated me about this entry level saw it's they made was the crankcase is plastic and model aluminum or magnesium which would have really made the saw dexterity and longevity was the downfall

I got a ms310 from my dad and it's been awhile for use not a lot of torque just under 60 cc but it runs extremely fast RPMs can't deny the saws worth at least $400 in good condition.

I understand the importance of cleaning up the chainsaw, but: you have disassembled the whole thing to reach the dirt, which is practically impossible to do by a normal owner (not a technician).

Thank You

Another good tip is every time you finish using your saw take the bar and chain off and clean the bar grooves with the pack of a hacksaw blade to remove any dirt and oil. This will make your bar and chain last longer. Also brush your chain off or soak it in vinegar to temple all the dirt out of that.

I could take it apart but I'd never get it back together again! Lol

I've had mine for 5 years, best investment I've made for cutting timber.

Thank you!!!

I would hope the saw was still good if it had factory plug still in it

Wow. Good work. Stihls are worth saving, and you brought that one back nicely.

I have a nice 2000, pretty much the same as this one. It runs like a top but not oiling. Looks like the problem is the bolt behind the sprocket, duck bill must be shot, air moves both ways. What the trick to replace the duck bill since the parts no longer available? Thx

Never had much luck with Stihl’s. In my opinion they are grossly overpriced. Prefer Echo’s myself for the money.

I never mess with the old carb I replace it with a new one and I'm ready to cut. Save time, money and all that screwing with the carb. I Do like your videos.👍

Beautiful ...

I bought a universal speed feed for my stihl fs361. Unfortunately the speed feed was not able to fit on the stihl

Absolutely brilliant job. I wish I had your skill

I would like to see it this would be my 1st chance to find out why thanos

Who is willing to pay for this service?

Can you work on my 290 👍

What type of lubricant do you recommend for slipping on the rubber tubing, gaskets, etc? Silicone?

I noticed the starter was missing a dog tooth at 18:10, the part that extends out to grab the flywheel when you pull the rope. Was it missing or does it only have one? LOL, maybe I should watch to the end... Well, looks like only one at 35:43.

Excellent presentation, but please use plastic tools when scraping off dirt and oiled sawdust. Top Job.

My wife has a MS290 and its been a great saw. Just used it to dropped a dead 36" elm tree. Nothing like going out to the shop and working on a piece of equipment. When I finish with her HS81R I may tackle the MS290. Its been in service for over 10 years so it needs some TLC. Your video is really going to help. Thank you. No one in my area stocks Stihl and parts so I have been buying from UK with excellent success. They pretty much repair everything in the UK and the laws are much more favorable to DIY and I believe the prices are better. Keep up the good work. You probably get more out of the teaching than your elderly students! Thank you!
