- This saw was everything and a bag of chips(the linkage was in the bag🤣). It wouldn't start and he tried, but gave up and sold it to me. Let's get it running!

Got a pair of them in the shop right now (subscriber repeat watcher here) one has bad crank seals… carb wont idle
Right, rpms hang, and if u tilt it sideways it will run correctly for a bit till it floods.. pressure tested it and soap and water and yeah air leak behind the clutch at 7psi… on the fence about fixing it due to the seals being a pain in the rear to do and really time and labor worth more than the saw (has husqvarna type carb on it) 1997 california model
The other one was exactly like yours a poulan 🤢 knock off, swapped all parts (with updated linkage carb) from a good parta saw i had (bad crank seals too) and it runs like a champ 2011 model
Thank you for what you do
Thanks for watching, I really enjoy what I do here. Good catch finding the leak, air leaks can drive you crazy on a saw. I usually put those off to the side for days when I don't have anything interesting going on. 🙂
Bill I thought you knew it was really 200 ways to do the fuel line!!!!🤣 But I like the way you snake it through makes it look simple💯👍🏾
The other hundred are the same, but with more cussing 🤣
I have seen a lot of ways and tried most of them. When I got to this way, I was surprised that it wasn't printed on the side of the motor.
Took your advice from a previous video and just bought a new carb kit. Came with new lines, spark plug. gaskets and filters. Sadly, they forgot the wire thingy that you used to pull the lines through but I soldiered on. Just found your channel and already have learned a lot.
It's a lot tougher without the wire puller. I always like getting comments that I helped a little 😁
I use good needle nose pliers, cut the point at an angle and two cycle oil to
Lube the hose.. insert in hole and twist it on in, and with needlenose pliers pull er out.. easy peasy… long needlenose help alot in the process
Ive never been fortunate to get a kit with the pullers before 🙄
@@ricardobernal8897 That's how I did it when I first started. The first time I ran across a chainsaw where I wouldn't get to the other end I started looking for a better way and found my first line puller. Email me your address and I will send you one, I have a bunch of them. 👍
Thank you sir 😁 umm wheres the email
Addy?
@@ricardobernal8897 in the about box, but this is easier 😁 Bill.jarboe@charter.net
Not a bad looking saw. Nice when you get a bag of bits
I give him credit, the bag had everything he took off the motor.
Great job Bill sometimes this repair can be a bear. You made it look easy 😊
Chainsaws can make the best look like rookies. I have an old school Homelite sitting here that I am dreading. I am gonna work through it with the camera on though 🙂
Man you are not kidding 😂😂😂
The Doritos bag is a classic storage container for carb parts! So many small engines just need a bit of maintenance and care. I wonder how many good machines are sitting, unassembled on shelves in shops with their parts in a Doritos bag--forgotten. You could go ON-THE-ROAD across America, Bill, fixing all those old forgotten machines! I hear there is a new bylaw coming to your neighborhood "No Chainsaws at 7 AM" haha Good job Bill. You look really young in that early morning light!
I wander a LOT. I need to start making videos while I travel. (Currently in Indiana, heading for Texas tomorrow)
Funny, they brought me a prime
Box with parts for two lawn
Mowers today, and told me to figure it out 😂😂😂 lucky me one was a briggs and one a honda so they were easy to figure out, up until the honda was missing the auto choke plastic deal, and wax plug.. and the briggs the two carburetor bolts and springs 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Im at best a shadetree tinkerer extraordinaire, with more patience for things that dont talk back, but i will say, Some people should not mess with equipment.
Eitherways i got them running thanks to a local shop that has a boneyard thats a heaven and a few amazon places that sell OEM parts
@ricardobernal8897 if you are a tinkerer, you are halfway to being a master of carbs. The Honda and briggs carbs are pretty predictable and once you get comfy with them, the rest will all make sense and eventually start feeling like they are all the same. 👍

Master of trial and error is more like it.. got a long way before i can Jedi carbs and have ur experience but every failure is a temporary setback to learn it the right way. Again thank you for what you do..
@ricardobernal8897 Learning from mistakes is better than learning in a class. It teaches you real-world problems and answers. Stick with it, and one day, you will be the master.
These are Poulan with about any old name but still a Poulan, just the same.The son-in-law has all mine and BLESS him for it, I swore off therything but Stihl and Homelite. Nice Honda motor though. Fix on and stay cool!
You will love this. The next 3 videos are 2 Homelite saws and the big Honda motor.
Sounds like a plan!@@GuysPlayingWithTools
thank you for the video and I like your shirt great movie
I had to go back and look to see what shirt I was wearing that day. Um, yeah I needed this on Saturday🤣(it's one of my top 3 all time favorite movies)
Thanks. I really appreciate your chainsaw video.
Thanks for watching, it's comments like this that make my day. 👍
Great bill, you make it look effortless, not fair😮
Thanks mate. Do anything a hundred times and it gets easy 👍
Should make the new owner very happy 👍
I am sure it will
Firewood season is here
nice work
Thanks Francis 👍
Great video Bill
Thanks Randy 👍
@@GuysPlayingWithTools your welcome
great fix my friend
I appreciate it Dave. 🙂
I had a craftsman chainsaw back in the day it was made by poulan
Store brand chainsaws are pretty interchangeable. I think there is 1 guy in China making all of them. 🤣
@@GuysPlayingWithTools your.probaly.right.about that.bill💰💸
I worked on the same saw a week ago. Carb was totally clogged.
Seems like when I get one the previous owner tried to fix, the carb is usually broken somehow. Still have to give him credit for trying
Will the primer bubble being cracked. Cause my chainsaw bog down
No, but it would make it hard to start and probably leak fuel. Adjust the H screw on the carb while trying to rev the motor, you will see a huge difference when you get it right. You can get a toolset cheap on Amazon or E-Bay

What is the number on part of the carburetor
The one I ordered was a ZAMA W-26. You might have to do some parts swapping on this one though. I usually use the secondary throttle body(the part with 2 holes) from the original carb and change the linkage from the old carb to the new if it doesn't clear the rubber insulator behind the carb.
Thanks!!!
