Can we. Communicate. Through. WhatsApp ???

Wowww

Sounds Great --- But Hell of a Way to Bust Crankshaft End Off , if the Crankcase/Shaft Was Larger Maybe Ok !!! As I have Gotten Older I Play out Starting my Saw's up , after I shut off Saw to refill Fuel & Bar Oil , my Body is to Shot to Re-Start the Dammm Saw. Getting Old is No Joke ! 70 now is why I Want - But Body Say's Oh Hell No !!! HaHaHaHaHa

Many thanks for this. You say that you use a socket adapter, but what is it? I've done a web search but it just throws up all sorts of things!

Hi all, don't tell our health and safety reps ,but I've used this system for years on my vintage 2 stroke engines . either that or a larger skip 😂😂

Thank you for your recent piano videos Kelly. I 'liked' them all! David.

Pure genius, thank you for the ratcheting socket tip. I will be drilling holes in all my gas engines today.

I think im missing something. If the flywheel has to turn counter clock wise to start, how does the socket not loosen the nut?

Works great for older folks 😊

So much fun playing with you!

I"m been thinking about this for a while now but I don't know in which direction the motor runs or starts. Does the motor run clockwise or counter clock wise? If the motor runs clockwise, they you will have to crank the motor clockwise with a drill. Which means the drill (bit) is turning clockwise (tightening) and when the motor runs, then the drill (bit) would be also going clockwise ? The bit should be racheting clockwise so it doesn't catch and break your wrist? (sorry about the description). It seems the ratcheting is in reverse...

If it doesn't start by the 2nd pull, use that drill to tear it apart and tune it up. Its silly to start it like that.

Genius.

I was just thinking about this. Straight and to the point.

Electric start!

In my life i have never seen a more pussy way of starting a saw. If a good running saw is to big for you start it easily by hand then the saw is to big for you to run. Do some pushups and pullups or something or accept your limitations

when tuneup in a can doesn't work🤣

This is no chainsaw but only china garbage.

I have an alu spinner on mine, and starting it the same way as an model RC plane.

buy a real saw

I had the same thought but no time to do this. Can't figure out why the companies have not done this as an extra parts kit. I'm still healthy to run one, but starting one takes up to 45 minutes because it takes my strength away! I could cut for hours on what it takes to start a chainsaw. It's tuned, right. You'll get old someday or sickly soon naysayers!

Its chinese garbage saw

Next video he replaces crankshaft because the end sheared off because of this stupid idea...crankshafts are not designed for this

Dude can't start a chainsaw with a pull string, and decides to risk serious injury by using a drill and socket. Either figure out why your chainsaw won't start with the pull string, or don't use the chainsaw.

Works like magic on crappy lawn mowers as well.

For a warm start as you demonstrate what advantage does this offer? Besides not having proper control of the saw If I need an amputation I would not attempt it myself or let anybody who thinks a chainsaw is a suitable tool for amputations to attempt this. To feeble to start an easy start saw? Get an electric chainsaw or perhaps get someone else to do your chainsaw work.

and its perfect if your working on one that wont crank. its hell cranking on one for a while

Clever!

Why in the world would you buy a cheap Chinese chainsaw?

If you have a problem starting or operating a chain saw ie to heavy then you shouldn't be using one

Been doing this for years on chainsaws and lawnmowers.

Folks dont do this. It hugely increases the risk of flywheel exploding/failing from over torquing against the taper, and thats on a real saw, let alone a chineseium one. What ever happened to “if you cant start it, you aint stong enough to use it”? Most companies do spring assisted start on small saws, if you need help with a 660, you got no hope of hangin on to it if it all goes bad.

There's a time when you should question yourself, should I operate a chainsaw.

Thanks for sharing a great video

I have always wondered why all chain saws don't come standard like this, well done

It is a heavy and powerful saw. I recommend adding some muscle. I have a lighter saw, and it wore me out before I started exercising.

please don't do this to your saw! youll break the threaded end off the crank! just learn how to use the choke, and pull the string!

the only down side is, your on the wrong end of the saw, too close to the chain.

And people wonder why the market is switching to battery electric…pulling the starter cord is too hard for you so you ghetto rig a cordless drill up; the industry one upped you and removed the need to start the thing and made the tool easy like your drill.

Good job, you still alive? doing shit like this will get you eventually.. ALWAYS engage the chain brake prior to starting a chainsaw and also, you probably should'nt make a how to like this. To anyone who thinks this is a terrific idea, don't get a chainsaw, it's beyond your skill set, if you already have one, sell it, you'll thank me later. If yet you still insist on having a chainsaw, get proper training on how to use one, they kill, about as quick as slick here started his.

Sorry, i calls 'em likes i seez 'em. Scarey and stupid. Violation of safe starting protocols. Furthermore pushing against a nut in direction it is designed to be removed; when, not if, it breaks loose what then? Dumbassery. I'm an old guy. Let me talk to Old Guys. If you can't start the dadgum saw it is time for you to retire or go electric. If you can't pull start the saw how are you strong enough to safely operate it any longer? Get a light weight electric, power cord saws are wicked. Hey, Old Guy who can't start your gas powered lawn mower, they make an efficient, quiet battery powered right up your alley. Holy cow, don't teach young folks to be stupid.

This is extremely dangerous. You don’t have control of the saw and should be standing behind it away from the chain holding the handle and ideally with a foot clamping it to the ground. If the choke was on (which is usually the case) and the brake off the chain would rotate after starting, and on a slippy bit of board the saw could easily vibrate round and carve a hole in your leg.

I never saw a generic Stihl Chain Saw before. It sure sounded like one. I have numerous stihl saws and other equipment. If it takes more than three pulls, you’re doing something wrong. Perform routine maintenance and if it still won’t start, throw it away. Consumers who use them to make a living don’t have time to fool with a finicky piece of equipment. I love your ingenuity, adding the ratcheting safety was genius. However, there is nothing like Tennessee orange.

Ha....I start my Lawnboy walk behind lawn mower with a drill! I had 4 surgeries on my right shoulder and using the recoil is painful. It works like a charm. I did that about 10 years ago.

Cool.

Very interesting but I would have liked to see a cold start. I keep an eighteen inch chainsaw for emergencies,am older and can't yard on things the way I used to. I will look to modding it like yours.

Terrific idea very innovative I really needed help starting my chainsaw a couple years ago this Gizmo would have done the trick

You might consider an entire kit to market with the components necessary to make that change. Get a patent for that cool idea! Soon!

Mine starts first pull every time easily man. Nice choice on the dukes tho sir!

If the compression relief button is working they are not that hard to start? A OEM Stihl relief valve works better than the Chinese one.
