Make sure to drain the gas from it before storing it, and run it till the carb is empty of fuel. The alcohol used in many fuels will attract water and corrode the carburetor and cause the diaphragm in the carb to become stiff and stop working.
That first fire up of the Chainsaw reminded me of the first time I tried to crank my 5th scale not understanding how the safety kill worked. After about 45 minutes of yanking I broke the pull cord and turns out the kill switch was not functioning proper after fixing that issue it fired up on the third pull😁😁
That was so fun. I thought the review was over halfway through. Killer deal I store my chainsaws. And weedeater. With ethanol free. Gas. Mixed I just learned this a few years ago. Ethanol. Draws moisture over time.
The jean shorts were your problem for why it wouldn't start. Trust me, I'm not a chainsaw expert, but I have some nice saws, and a good bit of experience. Even that Chinese knockoff didn't want to be on video in that situation lol. You made a couple of fundamental mistakes (for instance, the notch on the first tree was way to deep, and you never want an angled back cut under any circumstances), but I appreciate your attitude and approach. You got it done. If you endeavor to cut more trees, I'd recommend the book "To fell a tree" by Jeff Jepson. Inside is everything I know about the subject. It's a great book, and was well worth the read for me. Good job!
Like most of all 2 cycle lawn equipment, you need to hold the throttle wide open with choke closed on cold starts. Once your hear it fire, then move choke to half and then full open, but always with throttle at full throttle while attempting to start it.
I have been logging for over 30 years and have never heard of this ! I will try it just for the halibut. Usually you start with full choke till it fires. (powersaws/ chainsaws) But some weedwackers have some strange starting procedures
Get some Tru Fuel ethanol free fuel for storing it since you don't know how long until the next time you need it. The Tru Fuel will last over 1 year and prevent the tiny ports and jets from gunking up. Just drain the fuel you have in it put in some Tru fuel and run it a bit till you smell it then put it away. And I guarantee it will start when you need it next time
This was a very interesting, and entertaining video, and you are a very amicable dude! I am not usually a fan of the use of Fast FWD’g, but the part where you were trying to start it, was hilarious! Having said that, I was relieved to see you finally got it started, and your choice in doing so on the ground! I will often fire up a saw, with the ‘between the legs’ position, but NEVER drop starting it like you first did. That way has a natural tendency to ‘swing’ the saw around, and actually can lead to injuries of the lower body, should the saw fire up, while in motion! Yeah, I know, a lot of guys do it, but it doesn’t make it any safer. And drop starting a spring assist saw will damage it. Nice tractor, and that part of saying you were gonna fall it on your tractor, funny. But please use some basic PPE, because @ 10:34, you stumbled, and these are the many situations that lead to injuries. I’ve been a knucklehead myself, and taken chances in years past, but no more. Please promote safe sawing! Enjoyed your video, and big thumbs up otherwise. Thanks for considering my well intended comments. 👍✌😊
Thanks man. Yeah I shoulda been at least wearing shoes! I should do a follow up as it ran great a while back when I needed it again. For me a great $110 spent. I think that’s how much it was.
Envy you having so much land …but your weeding is on a massive scale by using a chain saw and a tractor !!, in the uk anything bigger than a pair of sheers is the next level 🤦♂️
But.. But.. But I was literally just shopping on Amazon for a cheap chainsaw before bed last night.!! I thought it might have been some advertising analytics thing, but then I saw the date & it's just a coincidence... Unless... Are you reading my mind again.? Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland.!
They make bar and chain oil.. and it works better than oil.. just a preference and experience.. I’m interested in seeing this saw work… I’m a Stihl guy myself.. but looks like it works so far! And always use ethanol free gas.. ours sits all spring summer till fall and winter.. we heat with wood! So the key to keeping them in good running order is the gas.. and keeping the chain sharp, and the oiler clean so it don’t heat the bar! Definitely impressed for the price
You can make some nice wooden features for crawling with it like tree features easier to make wooden bridge or curve out tree for a tunnel. Just limitless ideas for it.
@Exocaged RC right and yes if you can treat it it will be like a old country cabin build for scale crawling. Just stating to be like making a bridge type could be used. Just ideas to use it ..
@@ExocagedRC yessir that was definitely the issue....choke pulled out with the trigger lock on and kill switch toggle up to be in the run position....now you might not need choke in Florida as it all depends on air temp mainly....here in eastern Canada a saw will not Start without that procedure.....not sure if it has 2 choke positions or just 1 but it you pull and it starts then stalls set the choke to half then pull again
The thinner chain oils work better than the thicker ones this is true , if you want to be really cheap and are on a budget for loggging , you can also use Vedge oil and it will do the job :)
If the rest of the saw breaks but the engine runs you could build a chainsaw powered RC boat. I think the outputs on the engines are good for boat applications
Reminds me of the time I was trying to start a brand new 20cc gas motor for an RC airplane. I could see through the clear fuel tube that it was not pulling any fuel to the cab. I took the carb apart and found the rubber diaphram (the rubber fuel pump thingy) in the carp was stuck. I gently pulled it loose, and reassembled. It started almost immediately. I wonder if that's what was wrong with yours.
I bought an electric chainsaw from Princess Auto (Like Harbor Freight) for $50 CDN. Best chainsaw I have ever owned! So do not knock some of the cheap stuff!
If you close your eyes and think about it. The 2x speed sounds like a 5th scale gas car or even a nitro lol and when are you swapping the castle 800kv and mamba monster x into the chain saw🤣
Love the daily videos no matter what they are. Gotta say I really want to see a trx4 with a lift kit and the ottsix sticky’s or the proline mambas. I’ve got the mambas the sticky’s are on the way and I gotta put the lift kit on still
I had a lifted trx4 and about the only thing it was good for was mud. Thing would just tip over looking at a hill or rocks. You can make it work with a lot of tuning but it’s best as a mud truck with the lift.
@@ExocagedRC after you sharpen it a few times the teeth will get shorter and those guide teeth will have to be knocked down a little bit. You'll go from removing Chips of wood down to saw dust
JOE ? You should have cut that into 17 foot lengths or something and sold it !! That tree had a lot of good lumber in it. If it would have been me ? I would have took it to a band mil and kept the lumber. Because you will use it. I can’t believe you cut that into short pieces. 🤦♂️ lol. You can rent a stump eater to get rid of that just below ground level and then cover it up. Or just dig it out. But you will find that won’t be easy as you might think . Lol Even with your lil tractor. You’ll be all day and maybe then some. So a stump eater is a better option than you might think. A couple of hours total after cutting it to ground level. Also btw ? Along with heavy equipment operating for 27 yrs . I also cut and sold timber off of our road jobs. My biggest tree I cut was 8 foot through the middle & had 1000 board feet in 1 ,8 foot cut. A big red oak . And that tree you cut up was probably worth a few hundred dollars. At least.
Chinese chainsaw FIVEA bought in 2006-2007 year paid 240 BAM = about 120 euros. It's still working. I've used and used a 50:1 mix. Gasoline 95 octane. 2t oil stihl and now husqvarna 2t HP. Of the failures I only had a starter ignition plastic part. Second time steel wire in the ignition starters. And as for the operation or ignition of the saw 2-3 pulls and the saw falls. 3 years lay in the basement 5 times pulled and chainsaw fired. And before that, she lay there for two years with a full tank of gasoline. I shake it, mix the mixture into a thin and draw 5-6 times and The chainsaw is on fire. Yoooo 😁 😁 👍 Greetings from Bosnia 🇧🇦 Google Translate
I think if you don't know how to assemble it you should at least get someone to show you how to use it before you chop a leg off and your meant to use 2 stroke oil
I would have thought you would have gotten an electric chainsaw! Lipo power! Also could have stolen the motor for a project! Easier to start also😂👍 good job though
I've had a saw exactly like this and its still going strong after nearly 5 years or logging and home usage , you get what you pay for sure , these won't last forever but for the price tag they more than pay for themselves
Y not buy an electric chainsaw? Personally, i know id end up swapping the junky battery over to a rc pack, so i can fast charge it in minutes, not hours! 😁
Don't buy overpriced badly over enginered stihl . husqvarna for long life and reliability or if for occasional garden use a mculloch made by husqvarna cs 35 cc saw will suffice .
Make sure to drain the gas from it before storing it, and run it till the carb is empty of fuel. The alcohol used in many fuels will attract water and corrode the carburetor and cause the diaphragm in the carb to become stiff and stop working.
Good tips. Thanks!
Thanks for saving me from typing out that important message.
Especially nowadays with all the 10%+ (m)ethanol alcohol in our gas. & Yet they STILL charge us the same as if it was PURE gas! 😠
Add MARVEL MYSTERY OIL!!

😂😂 I went through that too LoL
I actually laughed out loud watching this! Definitely enjoyed it!
Anything with a gas engine or electric motor you put in this channel is fine by me! I love POWER!
Reminds me of the old nitro days.. lol frustrating... At least the pull start rope didn't break ..lol comedy

Love how you set the chain saw on the shelf like a crawler haha
LoL
It’s pretty straight. You could make a bridge or ramp on the course
Yeah but that untreated pine rots away so fast.

Holy crap Joe, think I would have had a coronary or stroked out before I got that one started
It was a pita on that first start.
Too, u can use the wood logs as jump fillers for any/all of the jumps u put down.

Great job! I enjoy watching you build and develop the exoplex as well as the trucks, so thanks and keep it up! 😎👍

LoL hey man. I needed something cheap and so far I’m happy with this one.

Yeah I was surprised to see it say just regular 10-30 bar oil.
If you want to be really cheap for home logging or basic needs , Vedge oil will also do the job :)
Just in time for Halloween 🎃
You don't chop with a chainsaw homie you cut. lol
LoL I like to chop stuff
Mount it onto the X-MAXX - RC chainsaw-ing!
I would like to figure out a way to make a snowmobile out of it. That would be awesome.
Ya know, and I thought you would've done this one handed too...
Luckily I’m not one handed for real! 😂😂
@@ExocagedRC Lol!
I have one of those friend gave it to me it works fine for what it us had to adjust needles worked great

Great review Joe! You really ran the piss out of that thing. Alot of the Chinese stuff is really good and you can't beat the price!
I’m happy with it
That sped up starting was a hoot! Been there. Maybe a few drop of gas in the cyl would help if there’s no primer. Or plug the exhaust when u pull
Special notes needed....first you had the kill switch off...needed to be up.....second you didn't have the throttle lock on at half throttle
was that the issue? Its been a long time since I messed with a chainsaw of any kind
@@ExocagedRC yessir that was definitely the issue....choke pulled out with the trigger lock on and kill switch toggle up to be in the run position....now you might not need choke in Florida as it all depends on air temp mainly....here in eastern Canada a saw will not Start without that procedure.....not sure if it has 2 choke positions or just 1 but it you pull and it starts then stalls set the choke to half then pull again
You should use bar and chain oil motor oil don't have the tacky compound to stick to the chain
The thinner chain oils work better than the thicker ones this is true , if you want to be really cheap and are on a budget for loggging , you can also use Vedge oil and it will do the job :)
I look forward to all the upgrades your gonna get for it over the next few episodes. Does treal or vitavon make anything for it yet?
LoL if there are mods I’ll do it!! 😀😀
I'm excited to see the racetrack.
Now it's time to put that motor in the megaryft lmao 🤣, great video man. That actually works great eh.
If the rest of the saw breaks but the engine runs you could build a chainsaw powered RC boat. I think the outputs on the engines are good for boat applications
Oh for sure. I’d like to put one of these motors in a car.
Any video that has you in it, we will watch! Great content by the way
Poor Ever Brown!!!! Not to bad for a knock off chain saw. 👍👍👍
Yeah it’s still alive.
I think you should convert it to electric. Castle🤔
Was wondering for a second lmao
LoL
fun video! BUT... shorts and those shoes? no gloves?
May as well be a STIHL! haha
These carbs have an low end and high end the low end is probably lean and needs to be opened a little
Make more episodes on the DANCHEE RidgeRock
Its right here beside me ready for motors, esc and a new radio.

Yeah I bet this 52cc would run one good!
If you close your eyes and think about it. The 2x speed sounds like a 5th scale gas car or even a nitro lol and when are you swapping the castle 800kv and mamba monster x into the chain saw🤣
lol I'd like to try one of these motors in an RC
@@ExocagedRC I would definitely enjoy that lol
Love the daily videos no matter what they are.
Gotta say I really want to see a trx4 with a lift kit and the ottsix sticky’s or the proline mambas. I’ve got the mambas the sticky’s are on the way and I gotta put the lift kit on still
That would be too tall and floppy. It would just fall over.
I’m still going to give it a try I know it’s gonna be tall but if I don’t like the lift I’m gonna swap it back to stock and just get some ottsix 1.9s
I had a lifted trx4 and about the only thing it was good for was mud. Thing would just tip over looking at a hill or rocks. You can make it work with a lot of tuning but it’s best as a mud truck with the lift.
Uses a 50:1 mixture of Gasoline /oil
Maaaan think of the power you’d get from a castle 8s 800kv system rigged up to the bar
I almost bought an electric one but for this job I’m happy with the one I got.
Nice job my man
Those saws aren't to terrible. If you want it to cut a little better take a file or dremel and knock the tops off of the guide teeth.
Well it was doing good for me.
@@ExocagedRC after you sharpen it a few times the teeth will get shorter and those guide teeth will have to be knocked down a little bit. You'll go from removing Chips of wood down to saw dust
