Tks for all your super vidés, This Echo look's a lot like my old Tanaka TCS 3401, did Yamabiko brought also Tanaka, like they have Echo et Shindaiwa ???
Great vid, thanks! My secret "super sauce" for freeing up seized engines is a 50/50 mixture of ATF and Acetone. It penetrates, frees up locked components, and lubricates, until you can get a "true" lubricant into the system. I have used this serum on engines up to a hundred years old! (I'm a cast member of Guild Garage, on the Discovery Velocity channel.) Love your vids!
@@carrollsanders9376 No, it will not. As a matter of fact, the acetone component of the mixture will evaporate out in a matter of a few hours, or less. And chrome is not affected by it, anyway.
@@carrollsanders9376 Likewise, you may want to check YOUR chemistry. Acetone is NON toxic, water soluble, and safe on virtually all materials, except for some plastics. You must be thinking "ACID." Have a nice day.
You hit 40K subscribers not because of us but because you make informative and knowledgeable videos if the videos weren't so damn good we would not be watching and subscribing so really hats off to you young lady. I hope you keep the videos coming.
Great video! You’ve taught me so much about small engines. I’m a “citiot” from South Florida and moved to North Central Florida 16 years ago and bought 5 acres in a semi-rural area. Just thought I’d mow the grass and swim in the pool all day and relax. Hah! Never worked so hard in my life. Without any knowledge of wells, septic tanks and mowing machines I have learned a lot from videos on TH-cam and just stumbled onto your site a few weeks ago. I love watching the guys work but have found you to be the best teacher of all this stuff. As a 78 year old woman learning new tricks, it’s hearting to see you putting yourself out there and making my life so much easier. Now I think I’ll go adjust some valves. PS: Love me some PB Blaster and a small hammer.
When I worked at an IH dealership, the local bank asked if we could fix their flooded street sweeper. It had an Onan engine. I assumed they were talking carb issues. The machine was in the basement parking lot, under six feet of water. Cleaned it all up, drained all the fluids, and replaced them, and it fired right up. When we delivered it, they asked me to look at their emergency generator. It was a Ford six cylinder engine, attached to the generator. It was also completely submerged. They had already changed the fluids, but it was water locked. I pulled the plugs, cranked it over, dried out the plugs, and reinstalled them. It fired right up.
well done lady , I m Omar from Tunisia , i m a colleague , I have 15 years repairing motorsaw , just it is my first one i see a lady woking on it , it is very awesome ,
Brilliant! This helped me repair a Tenaka strimmer that someone was selling as spares or repair. I had it running within 10 minutes simply by putting wd40 onto the piston and then tapping it with a dowel.
Hello Chickanic! I just went through a flood a week ago that destroyed over a thousand dollars in property damage. Most of my machines got flooded with water in them that seized them up. But I got to it after only a couple of days, once the flood reseeded of course, and I used compressed air to get the water out, and one fired right up, after some help with ether. The other machine needed a carb cleaning as well. Water is a very destructive force. Great video as always, love your video's. love you, keep doing what you do.
Love love your website i'm retired and. Never worked on small engines till retirement. Doing it for 5 years now for extra money. And thanks to your channel. Plus other i. Love it. Keeps me busy and keeps my mind sharp
I am so glad you did this video. I bought a Husqvarna 445 that the piston was seized. Your info helped me free up the piston. You are a godsend. Thank you. I love watching your videos.
Had a buddy bring me a saw with a seized piston. Swore he used mixed gas. When I drained the tank, gas was golden yellow. Oooops. Cylinder and piston were so badly scored that the saw became a boat anchor...for a very small boat...but no other use for it. With tight tollerances, the slightest bit of rust can fix the rings to the cylinder walls like glue. Great job/video.
I inherited a Honda lawnmower that sat under 5 feet of water for an entire week after the owners evacuated before a flood. Pulled the plug, drained the oil/gas/water, did 4 oil changes, turning the engine over several dozen times each change, installed new plug, fresh gas, and it started on the first pull. That was over 5 years ago, and she still runs like a top.
My Grandpa would always use 2 prts. Diesel to 1 part gas(it was real leaded gas). Cool vid, I have a cs180e I brought back from the brink, good carving saw like my ms192tc. Thanks
Chickanic your husband must be loving you. You are great at doing what you do.Awesome!!!! I have seen many of your videos and been working with chainsaws for over 40 years.
Wonderful video. What I love about you is your teaching, but also how you're not afraid of hard work-referencing your weed wacking in the hot Arkansas sun around your property.
This is why you buy an Echo. Doesn't matter what 2-stroke tool you are buying Echo is by far the best and more and more tree companies and landscape companies are learning this!
Hey there ! Love this channel. Just was sent a link from a friend. Great work and teaching. Hoping my friends don’t all find out 😇 I’ll lose my title of small engine guru amongst my friends. I saw 56k on your subscribers. Great growth congratulations
I love your videos...very professionally done. When I was your age and before, I worked with and around loud engines without hearing protection. Now I can not hear very well at all. You might want to consider getting some good ear muffs. I wish you well.
Another awesome video , I have 6 or 7 chainsaw’s , one is my Grandfather’s old Homelite EZ-6 , that I need to restore, but anyway I do my own repairs so your videos are unreal helpful to me , Thankyou so much for sharing & May God Bless
Not only are you good to look at you do a great job and know your stuff. Ironically, I did what you did on the frozen cylinder by adding oil and if worked. I had to tap my Poulan a little on the fins. I know not a good place but it loosened it and I watchsx you rebuild a carburetor on the Poulan Pro and can't wait to fire it up. Oh, had an issue with the throttle linkage to and had to modify it. The plastic in the handle must have worn off. Thank you again.
Wish I had seen this when I lived in Hot Springs Village, AR and dropped my saw in Lake DeSoto. I figured it was ruined and so did the small engine repair guy I used down there. You are so good at what you do! Keep your videos coming PLEASE!
I've got one from a flood I've been saving to see what needs done before trying to start it - I've exercised the piston early on and let it dry fully (months). I'll just try putting some fresh gas in, prime it and see what happens - thanks for the insights... what you didn't say is as valuable as what you did :) I'm a new subscriber -thanks for the hard work and great sense of humor!
It's a travesty for this to happen to an Echo saw. Echo is my go to saw for our tree work. If this had happened to my CS660, I'd be madder than 700 you know whats. Great video. Superb job. Thanks a bunch.
Very good video tutorial about a common issue. Good deductive and systematic analysis of possible issues. Now show this video to your friend and ask him to avoid lakes!! Good chainsaw makes a difference also! Thanks for sharing!!!
Had a Jeep that had been flooded . Used acetone and brake fluid and tried the crank snout bilt. Sat 3 days and finally broke loose . Had it running but some work . Sold it in a week and they drove it onto a trailer.
Not gonna lie.. I had already pulled twice on it when it popped off and then realized my pants were creeping too low. I seriously didn't mean to show so much back and crack! LOL! So! It got cut!
@@Chickanic See this is why I have nothing but love for you because your refreshingly unapologetically honest and love your behind the scenes stories 😉😁❣️💯 Would love to see a collection of your behind the scenes videos 👌😏
I work on my small engines from time to time and when I needed to bottle feed them a little fuel. I took a plastic pop bottle and poked a tiny hole 🕳 in the top and then I put one of the plastic straws that comes with spray oil in the hole I have to force the straw in so to keeps a tight fit. Then I put my 2 cycle mixed fuel in the bottle and I’m able to give the motor as much as needed. This works on all of my motors big and small.
Last July we had a little flooding here in Germany, sadly some lost everything even their lives. Anyway since then I have been fixing various small engines etc from generators, large lawnmowers to Chain saws. Most only take time. As you said. After a few days things usually work. Even when you have to de-rust the coil and magnet area. Great videos.
fun fact: i was driving through the woods when i saw a handle sticking out of the water in an old stripping pit. it was an old mower. i pulled it out of the water, took it back to the shop, changed the oil and gas, and have been using that mover for about the last 15 years now. every spring i clean out the gas tank and float bowl and its a first pull mower at least 85% of the time. (sometimes it takes 3-4 pulls) still on the same 15 yr old oil too.
I ran over a Pioneer P52 with a skidder. It was in a mud hole and mushed it in the mud. I cleaned up took a hammer and straightened up the handle and used it. Those old Pioneers was double tough.
I've soaked them with pb blaster for a few days and then lightly rocked the engine back and forth from the flywheel. Once it freed up i used to run more oil in the gas for the 1st tank or 2 of fuel and never had any trouble with it since. The saw still runs good as new
Dueling chainsaw disasters! Dony had “ a tree fell on it” and you have “it fell in the lake”. Who can top either one? Good job! As Stella might say “ Saw Happy!”
Nice save. The instant you get any IC engine out of the water, you drain it and replace any and all fluids and try to start it immediately. If you do that before any rust starts, the better the metals will be internally... Of course that all depends on how long it was sitting in the water as well. If it has been there for weeks. months or way longer, it could be another story. Thumbs Up on your channel
I was about to throw my old Stihl saw away but I am going to give this a go. It has been sitting around for a couple of years and I think that has allowed rust to build up in the cylinder. Somebody said I should try WD40.
My mixture for cleaning out boat engines that took a swim was a 50-50 mix of Marvel Mystery Oil and rubbing alcohol. It may smoke for a while but this mix will get rid of the motor. I just poured it down through the carburetor and spin it over with the starter. All electronics on the engine were sprayed with WD-40. I would usuall pour a quart of this mix down the snout and flush it through the engine several times before Iran it off a gas tank.
Over at Walmart, they sell otoscopes. That is the device that physicians use to examine noses and eardrums. They are great for putting a tiny beam of light in tight places. Like checking vent holes in some carbs, or spark plug holes. they're pocket-size and less than 20.00. Good video!
You have given me an immense feeling of empowerment! Thank You. You didn't indicate if the machine was running when it went into the water. Wouldn't that have made a significant difference?
that was amazing that you broke free the frozen piston! especially after a long time sitting with out being treated with any oil to keep it from rusting together. the cylinder is usually steel, the piston is aluminum and the rings are hardened steel so the rings and cylinder can rust together.
If I have any equipment that gets wet or immersed I always wash it down with pure isopropyl alcohol or denatured alcohol, this removes most of the water and makes any remaining evaporate faster then apply oil or whatever brand of dewatering fluid I have (WD40 Duck oil etc) that way the rusting corrosion problems cease to be a hazard, alcohol works on wet electronics as well as long as the powere is turned off and they are dunked in the alcohol straight away.
One thing you might suggest to your viewers is what I do on my yard equipment when I’m done using it. I pull the start cord until the piston is at maximum compression. That closes the valves/ports and minimizes the combustion chamber exposure to the air. This is especially good when you plan on storing the unit for a bit.
Had to do that to a couple saws that were used for cutting ice on lake for spearing holes. The bars and chains would be quite rusty too. Could usually piece them back together. Good job 👍
I like the way you check the simple stuff first. What do they usually have for compression for an average ? I use alcohol free gas with nothing but Husky oil. Then stabil by Husky when it sets. Good video.
Congratulations on reaching 40K subs, awesome job. You just proved that eventhough something had been under water for a certain time doesn't automatically mean it's a write off. Just a little bit of effort will make it run again.

Great video. Liked the part of flooding the cylinder with oil.
Years ago I used to use a product called Mystery Oil that was like magic for freeing seized pistons.

Nice save. The instant you get any IC engine out of the water, you drain it and replace any and all fluids and try to start it immediately. If you do that before any rust starts, the better the metals will be internally... Of course that all depends on how long it was sitting in the water as well. If it has been there for weeks. months or way longer, it could be another story. Thumbs Up on your channel
Great video with a lot of very useful info. I have a couple of saws that I want to try this on. Thank you so much! 👍
I was about to throw my old Stihl saw away but I am going to give this a go. It has been sitting around for a couple of years and I think that has allowed rust to build up in the cylinder. Somebody said I should try WD40.
great video as always.. Keep them; coming its going to be along winter..

You have given me an immense feeling of empowerment! Thank You.
You didn't indicate if the machine was running when it went into the water. Wouldn't that have made a significant difference?
Thanks! I learned something. Don't break that mason jar.
Excellent video, Chickanic!
Thank you very much!
that was amazing that you broke free the frozen piston! especially after a long
time sitting with out being treated with any oil to keep it from rusting together.
the cylinder is usually steel, the piston is aluminum and the rings are hardened
steel so the rings and cylinder can rust together.
Omg you’re awesome. Also also rockin that WETA gear. Ur a keeper 😆
Love you Chickanic. Outstanding video again.
I love you're videos very helpfull,u no more than a lot for guys.
Good information, hope don’t have same experience.
If I have any equipment that gets wet or immersed I always wash it down with pure isopropyl alcohol or denatured alcohol, this removes most of the water and makes any remaining evaporate faster then apply oil or whatever brand of dewatering fluid I have (WD40 Duck oil etc) that way the rusting corrosion problems cease to be a hazard, alcohol works on wet electronics as well as long as the powere is turned off and they are dunked in the alcohol straight away.
Amen to that - I have seen quite a lot of drowned saws, and it is no problem, if people don't just let them sit!
One thing you might suggest to your viewers is what I do on my yard equipment when I’m done using it. I pull the start cord until the piston is at maximum compression. That closes the valves/ports and minimizes the combustion chamber exposure to the air. This is especially good when you plan on storing the unit for a bit.
Also helps prevent valve and reed warpage if closed up immediately upon shut off. Keeps everything fit together during the rapid cool down
thank you fore the video it was nice you could save the saw
Had to do that to a couple saws that were used for cutting ice on lake for spearing holes. The bars and chains would be quite rusty too. Could usually piece them back together. Good job 👍
So calm cool capable , very entertaining
That nice tip,I never tried that thanks
Congrats on the 40 thou good to see you again
Thanks for the video, as usual good job and information. Your the best.
I like the way you check the simple stuff first. What do they usually have for compression for an average ? I use alcohol free gas with nothing but Husky oil. Then stabil by Husky when it sets. Good video.
Atf fluid releases stuck rings/pistons. Also dont pound steel on steel, use a brass rod or wood. Im a trained outboard tech. Love ur channel!
My thoughts exactly...
Keep the good work up chickakanic u are amazing at what u do dar
Congratulations on reaching 40K subs, awesome job.
