วีดีโอ

you said don't always believe that us what it is. technically if the gas line was pulling air from the tank it was still sucking air😮 i really appreciate this my guy. these saws are free and my home is heated by wood

If I'm observant which I was I noticed that the mounting bolt installation goes counter-clockwise but you didn't mention it and it makes a difference.

Great information! This helped me a lot to get the lines in correctly. The old lines had fallen apart and I couldn’t tell what went where.

Thank you very much for this video! My 18 year old Craftsman has sat for 15 years and the lines all shattered. I needed the orientation and this video did the trick, she still runs like a champ!

I use Hondabond HT liquid silicone from my local motorcycle shop. It’s really good stuff for putting chainsaws back together and it’s pretty inexpensive. Anywhere from $11 to $15 dollars a tube.

You should add an end card to your video to push more content. TH-cam did put your stihl ms390 video up at the end as a suggested video. Have a great weekend!

Hello Craig Timmons. Great to meet you and your channel. 🤝

Nice surface finish!

So the piston ring pin face the intake or exhaust ???

I use brake cleaner and spray off fuel cap area before refueling 😊😊😊

Thank you very helpful video.

🤪

You're a life saver. Wish i would have found this video first.

I try to keep 4/5 ready incase a situation happens that the fire department needs them, never know what is going to happen next 😢 It’s so easy to fix them at a fair price and the new china saws can’t get parts eather So for free I just fix them up 😊

Common issue, don’t go back with the plastic type again (but it was a free replacement in your case..) Buy the later metal linkage type carb…

What carb did you get and Oder ?

Need more videos keep em coming

Thank you great video clearly spoken as well!!!

Thanks. I got it wrong.

Happy New Year brother. That intake doesn't need a gasket... I was running one of those today, breaking down slab wood from the mill for the camp wood bin. Still trying to kick this COVID to the curb. I hope everything is going well for ya. Stay in touch.

Te salut dn craig și un an nou fericit îmi poți spune și mie dece jiglerul H de la husqvarna 570xp nu răspunde la comenzi în timp ce jiglerul L raspunde

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the next installment!

Nice work Craig. Happy New Year Brother!

If it’s not fuel lines or carb kit it’s nearly always the crank seal on clutch side

I would go cut with it for a good 10-15 minutes. I had the same issue thought I had it figured out it was running much much better and then it started going lean again and I was getting an erratic idle so I got a tear back into it now figure it out . It only does it once it’s good and warmed up I tried running it extra rich nothing helps.

Thought I heard her hang on a little smiggin… tiny bit more lower Circuit screw open up a 1/8?… I just use the 1 and 1 and get the 2800 type idle you want and then slowly start pulling your throttle in and out and just got a decent adjustment so you get a nice little throttle response up…. Then you should get it into the log and when you are cutting and add some down Force and load up your engine!!! The sumbitch will garbal… then be clear and she’ll just screw down through the wood!!! They will use up that little extra additional fuel mixture that you are using to slightly flood your combustion chamber mixture and it’s actually retarding the engine’s ability to increase it’s rpm’s!!’ When you hit the magic spot where it’s at the perfect tune that two stroke will clear out and scream down through the logs!!! When you finish your cut and tap the throttle several times to blow air across your fins and blow some fuel mixture into your engine and let it cool down your piston!!! When you hit your throttle she will have the little blurbling back and can’t wind out to insanity!!!! Everyone needs and should take advantage of and be using a little tachometer… ,,, or just a little &14 bucks hours meter and tachometer that’s a up to 20K model and the most simple and cheap and only a two stroke version.,, no chance to move to a four stroke or anything version!!! the Amazon it eBay $12 hourmeter/20 K tachometer combos work fantastic and I’ve always found them within a couple hundred RPM’s of my high dollar model!!! You can just wrap it’s 2’ wire tails last 6 inches of wire around your spark plug lead 4-5 times and then adjust the high Circuit screw until you see 12,000 RPM’s and never worry about it again unless you hear the RPMs change !!!! For any reason you immediately hit the kill switch and investigate your possible problem!!! Possibly can save one if you just stop immediately!! I grab the carburetor cleaner spray can with the plastic tube for accuracy and with it just on idle… a little blast into your clutch drum area and your other side seals to check those then carburetor base and line’s!!! If you kill your engine… you have a air leak right there where you sprayed it!!!! After I just get a saw back together after doing a air leak repair… any and really I do them all… I’ll pop a little shot at both of them seals and carburetor base and impulse lines and basically just a little quick overall air leak testing session while it’s idling… when you shot an area and it dies or hiccups !!! That’s your air leak area.., then it’s a little soap water and the mity to see it exactly!!! I usta just block off my holes and use my adapted bike pump to blow 7psi through the spark plug hole and dunk everything down into a metal tub of water like checkin a tire!!! You see bubbles coming out!!!??? Where from!!!!?!? Make your tag and notes on the leak and grab your next one!! I can test 30 saw’s in and hour! LMFFAO!!! Awesome technique if you ever get a huge number of unknown units… I do my massive pressure separating test and work on the tight units first!!! It’s a fantastic sorting process!! And just seeing a pto side air leak on a pretty decent looking 372 or something.,, you can drill your holes and yank the seals and have it back together and running in a half hour for work!!! Hello!!! LMFFAO

I will grab several weighted Stihl filters because they are just 10 times better and only use the echo’s bulk line Black roll’s!!! I’ll clip the tank grommets off the Stihl fuel line and open the center with a round file and pull the echo bulk right through a bingo! $1.50 Stihl fuel line replacement not $13 bucks!!!! LMFFAO

I am super super careful to never exceed the 7 pounds of both of those tests…Stihl said 1.5 bar or something like that and I remember that it is like a 7.5psi…. I’ve blown out some up 9-10 in the beginning and I was responding to my older buddy jimmy… if it’s weak enough to go then better now and he said that I was stupid because they didn’t go over 5 and the extra pressure was already in that 7.5… so a (7psi) pressure and vacuum is just perfect to test and not (Stress them). Your collection of those rubber blocks is just wicked!! I thought I was cool with some rubber glued on aluminum for my exhaust blocks!!! You definitely win the coolest kid in saw school with your block plates with the holes in them…. You could make a little jig with some little pipe pieces with their edges sharpened so you could stamp them out with a little press and have your little kit of block plate’s and I’d freaking buy a set to toss into my saw box!!! $20 bucks? Hell one top handle test and repair or a dead saw deal would be freaking awesome buddy!!! I grabbed the $100 dollar double bar nuts version several years ago I I’ve done 2 dozen tree removal jobs with it and topping and cleaning up and clearing out some woods areas…. Probably earned $80 grand on it’s own $100 bucks and a $75 dollar bar and chain combo… I had a new little Stihl combo that’s perfect.,,12”!!! It’s gotta be a super easy flopping back and forth when you are flppin’ her around!!!

😂

😂😂😂 happens to us all! 👍👍👍

How much do you open up the exhaust port? 60-70% of the bore?

I also bought one of these saws about four years ago. It has been a great saw for me. If youre a professional and need to use it every day for hours id recommend a name brand saw, but for the occasional climber and landowner to use a few hours a month its ideal. Mine also recently started leaking a bit. Ill bet its the same issue you have. Now i know how to dig into it. Thanks much for your vids!

Everything ok? You didn’t say “Craig Here!”

I saw in other comments you said that 5050 at best is the success rate with aftermarket carbs for this. Whats the success rate on reconditiining one that has methanol damage and getting it to work? Honest question. Can it be done? Is it worth it? Thanks. Take care.

shut the damm fan

Hi Craig, it's videos like yours that a lot of us guys are very thankful for. I don't see very many of these saws but when I do it's so helpful to have guys like yourself that have taken the mystery out of fuel line configuration so we don't have to wrack our brains!! Thank you very much man, this has proved helpful more than you realize♥

Your timing is perfect! I have an MS290 that won’t idle and doesn’t react right to carb tuning. I hope it’s the impulse line! I bought seals just in case along with a fuel line!

Great tip Craig, I have that exact wrench!

I knew it was going to be cracked between the ribs. Those style impulse lines always seem to do that.

Your correct on the engine size, all 42 VC It’s that simple and it makes sense to. I love working on them and keep plenty of carb kits and couple of new carbs, level and cable control types, RB 129 fits most of the saws

I threw mine out.

This was brilliant, thanks mate. I'd tried new spark plug, new air filter, new fuel filter, but it was still struggling. Took this out, a bit of WD40 and a wire brush - running beautifully!!! Thanks again.

I know this is an old post but i was wondering how the saw works without the stuffers? I am working on a blown up 575xp and am trying to decide if I should I reinstall them or remove them for better oil lube to the bearings? Thanks in advance

Te salut dn Craig am oîntrebara sper ca ma vei ajuta am o husqvarna 570 si vreau sa îi schimb pistonul de Oare ce sa deteliorat pot sa îi pun unul de 51 dm cu 2 segmenting daca hornuesc cilindrul care a fost de 49 mm si pistonul cu un singer segment tot de 49m are merge sa îi pun cu 2secmenti

Классная! Афигенная пила, штиль 070 я тоже о такой мечтаю! Надеюсь что скоро куплю!

I had the same issue Craig. I pressed metric threaded knurled rivet nuts into the holes with a little touch of super glue. Super glue is fuel and oil resistant.. Worked great..

Thank you

@thecollectoronthecorner7061 1 second ago Just subscribed. I have a couple wild things and several other plastic Poulans. Never use those never will. I was at a auction and there was brand new looking wild thing in the plastic case. It looked like it had never been used. Wouldnt run. They tried to get $50. No takers. Kept going down. Finally I yelled $5. The Auctioneer shouted SOLD! Quick get his number before he changes his mind. Its piled up in a school bus with 50 other POS plastic chain saw's

Horribly video. Doesn’t show where they go but then shows a different saw.

Horrible video.
