I found the closeups to be the most helpful parts. Being able to see exactly what you meant when you said, "when the chain touches the bar" told me everything I needed. It really clarified whether you meant any part of the chain, the links resting against the bar, or something else. Thanks for the in-depth explanation.

Thanks! I couldn't figure out how to tighten the chain on my old school Stihl until I saw you video. Very nice.

The self tensioner on my saw has hardly ever worked. Can I swap it out to a screwdriver tensioner system?

[@damodoesall6240]

That was totally awesome, I always thought it had to be tighter than that by a long way

What is my 1970
Leaking after setting a few days

[@Carlsmower]

1970’s would be front tensioner.
Fuel or Oil?

Would be nice if your camera would zoom in so that we would know what you are talking about. If not and you do not zoom in it is not very much of value.

[@Carlsmower]

I understand. Something we are working on. Thanks for the input.
