Nice to see someone doing high level rebuilding with the same tools I have, mostly. No $40,000 Snap on collection. Bravo! it's brains, not dollars. Love watching your diagnostic skills.
Thanks Mustie1 for this one. I've watched a ton of your videos, but this one finally gave me the confidence to starting messing with my 3-year dead chainsaw. Ended up replacing the carb, fuel lines, fuel line weight, primer bulb, and spark plug...then figured out how to initially set the H/L. And with the help of your video I was able to dial in the H/L needles to where the saw now runs great. So thanks again and keep them coming!!!
I have a 1985 450. This model looks older than that. Mine has a two piece handle. Makes fixing the trigger and safety a lot easier. I bought it New and it’s still runs awesome! Great saws back in the day.
I have had two Jonsered chainsaws over the years, one 910E, one of their bigger saws and a smaller one, forget the I.D. numbers. They have both been extremely good saws that lost favor in the woods due to problems with fallers pulling the rear handle off when pulling hard on the handle. The anti vibration system would come apart. I remembered that, and avoided reefing on the handle and never had any issues. That problem was on the bigger saws only. My neighbor traveled to Sweden and went to the Husqvarna factory and at that point in time they were running two assembly lines. One line was producing Husqvarna's, the other was producing Jonsered. I have found, many of the parts are interchangeable when working on the saws over the years. I have no idea if they are still related at the present time. Nick, North West Farmer
I love your videos. You don't speed through everything like most guys do. I was holding my breath during the diaphragm removal. Thought for sure it was going to tear. Keep up the great videos. You are the man! You can get anything running. Every time I see your videos, I want to dive into every machine in my shop and get them all working again. Thanks for the inspiration.
Jonathan W, imagine seeing you here sir. Last time I saw you commenting on a video it was someone much less mechanically sympathetic than Darrin I was about to comment that it's looking like a very user friendly saw as far as maintenance/repairs go, @Mustie1 that spring around the fuel line is not so much a retainer as intended to keep some tension on it while allowing the user to simply flick off the pipe with a flat screwdriver. I'd bet that the official tool kit for completely stripping/rebuilding that comprised a spark plug spanner, flat screwdriver & a 5 or 6mm allen key. Designed for quick and easy carb cleaning, plug swaps and even barrel/piston swaps etc in the woods.
Possibly, all metal would have been nicer but given that the usual sources aren't awash with cheap and plentiful replacements I'd suggest it's not a common failure. I think it could be related to how packed with dirt it was, or one of the dogs sticking.
You're one of the few I've seen that actually makes me feel present. The way you talk to the audience is gold. You even apologize for bumping into us (the camera).
Awesome! Love to see the old stuff run again! I still have my Dads old Homelite XL ( 1960 sumthin with the manual oil pump) no hand guard, no chain brake, but i swear that heavy sucker cuts better than my Stihl 261... thanks for the video!
Thank you again for a great video. I said before I so appreciate that you are not full of yourself and are honest when you are not sure about the part or process on how it works and you admit that which allows watchers to learn right alongside of you. So many people would never admit a lack of knowledge especially during a tear down.
Yes, Jonsered is now a part of Husqvarna. Apparently they are still good saws, but slightly cheaper than their brother. I've not tried one yet, though. I'm happy with Husky!
Though my body aches something awful from a flu bug, watching your video somehow provides medicine. Thanks for the time to share your skills with the world. From Vancouver, Canada.
The name is pronouced "yon sir reds". I bought a new one in 1979 and ran it for 25 years without any major repairs. Like this one mine finally had a bad carb. It was a light and very fast saw. I even put a 20" bar on it and it worked. Nice vid which brought back great memories, thanks.
Man! You are a great teacher. When you took that carb and moved it around so we could see the little flap valves, the lights came on in my brain. Well done! And, "Godt nyt år!" from Kristiansand, Norway.
When tuning the high side, you want to er on the rich side. Listen for the 4 stroking sound, or a miss if you will. It should clean up when you put it in wood. Good job figuring out the operator present safety switch!
My dad has that same chain sharpener. He wore it out to the point of needing bearing and brushes - still available today for pretty cheap. But he beat up his so bad the switch broke - now its hardwired and just has a big wood plug where the switch was. Even after all the abuse, he stills says it the best sharpener he has ever used.
I just want to say mustie you are a legend. Back when I started watching your channel it was all about the air cooled vw stuff but it’s much more than that. On any given day I kno I can look forward to searching your channel and watching videos. You really cover every aspect of being a DIY man amongst men. I can search your channel and learn stuff about many aspects of being and enthusiast/ general motor head and come out learning stuff i never would have thought of. Thanks mustie you make the long days of trying to figure out my lot in life a lot easier!
You are the man! I learn a lot and learned a lot watching your videos. I even got my lawn mower running great thanks to you. Keep up the great work! Happy New Year!!!!
A good way to fix plastic parts is to use a solder iron or plastic welder and melt in some electrical wire across the crack. I prefer to use electrical wires with finer strands. you can use a bit of glue to hold the pieces together while you're melting in the wire and if needed a wet cold rag on the other side of the weld can help keep the parts original shape if the part gets too warm
Mustie1 you have done it again! What a delightful, charming, entertaining and educational video. You have a natural ability and charisma for this . Looking so much forward to the next one. Thank you very much and I wish you and your family a healhty and happy new year.
Ever notice that Mustie never sems to get frustrated or angry? I thought the handle would test his patience, but I've seen him in much more frustrating situations and he is always calm and happy.
Last time I mowed my lawn I found a '60 Ford Fairlane 500 I had forgotten about. So it does pay to mow the lawn once in a while. Still haven't cleaned off the workbench since the Viet Nam war.
I had to learn them inside and out and sharpening at correct angles to get my chainsaw license (not really a license to use a chainsaw but to fell small to medium Tree's the UK is a wierd place to live)
I like to imagine that Mustie started his channel by accident; He needed to record the disassembly of his projects so he could have a reference for reinstalling all the parts and pieces later. He’s smart on a whole nuther level
My dad was one of the first dealers for Jonsereds in eastern Wisconsin. He was a Logger and saw them at the logging Congress on Green Bay. A few Weeks later a package arrived and it was a brand new 80. The agreement was to use it for a year and then they would come back for his opinion of it. He always used the biggest Homelite or McCulloch saws available back then. 60-70’s that were the best options. In less than a day he fell in love with that saw. It always started, light weight compared to others and anti vibration handles. At the end of the year they came back to meet with him. He purchased the saw from them and they offered him the dealership for our area. So we started selling chain saws, mostly to other Loggers, municipals, Tree trimmers and farmers. Later he started selling to more public people. Just a small area in our 2 car garage where he kept new saws and anything they needed. They were years ahead of most others at the time and a good 80 with a skilled operator was hard to beat. Switched to the Husqvarna’s in later years but both great saws. Both Swedish saws of high quality.
Dale Fry I don't have a carb hammer,yet. Funny,I just pulled the bowl off a Mikuni and one of the posts was broken and I thought the guy used the wrong hammer!
Good work. I stuck with you for the whole hour and then some. And I am glad. I like your work. You are practical, you keep a civil tongue in your head, and I enjoyed watching you work. You need some needle nose pliars. Very small ones.
so I notice how to tighten the chain, I worked in the woods for some time logging, how I have been shown is you pull up on the chain, that pulls the bar up as well, when the chain is right then you tighten the bar.
When I did tree work, we would hold the nose of the bar up with the left hand, and tighten the chain with the screwdriver in the right hand. Then, before you tighten the bar, you pull the chain around with your gloved hand. The chain should pull easily with very little slack showing on the bottom. Then, tighten the bar. As the chain gets warm, it expands and gets more slack.
"YOU SUCK!" "I WIN!" ... Your comments are priceless!!! And your patience and diagnostic skills are tremendous. I love your vids. I always learn something from your tricks. Thank you.
I have a similar Jonsered, bought new about 30 years ago from a local dealer here in Southern Maine. It has been a great saw, as long as sawdust and chips are cleaned out often. I get a lot of comments when I go in for parts and supplies, "that old saw still running?" They made a good saw back then; It will still be running long after I'm gone!
In the movie American Graffiti when Falfa and Milner finally meet Falfa is trying to describe the color of Milner's cars as "a mix of piss yellow and puke green".
I am a simple man, I see a new Mustie upload I fire up the TH-cam app on my TV, make some coffee, grab some cookies, turn the lights low, sit back and get comfortable, grab the cat and plonk him on my lap, let out a big contented sigh and press play... Have a great New Year Mustie 😍
Great video, going to make my daughter watch this, she is a arboriculture student and just learning about saws and their upkeep. I will be looking for saws to do just this type of tear down. Thanks
Still not understanding why Mustie's videos get thumb's down? And especially so soon after publication? These are great videos. Maybe from people who feel he's not doing things "properly" in their minds? They should just leave him alone! Thumb's up from me. Happy New Year!
It does not matter Google looks at it exactly the same, it is a response and that is all they care about. A lot of people know this and all they do is hit the thumbs down knowing full well it is the same as hitting thumbs up.
Jonsered is owned by Husqvarna and they are actually Husqvarna saws under the hood. Still good saws in my opinion. But I am biased, I used to work at Husqvarna R&D dept.
Frig snacks Sir. We ran the distribution and race saws for husky in MN. We would port and polish in the mobile home between gigs. I still have my sthil still killer that looks stock. We called it a b rebuild. Had some Boyz taking down a cottonwood. Bzzzz. I just dropped it. Felled with style. Timber! Meh not even fire wood. Happy New Year.
I sold my dad's old Rancher 61 for 250 bucks after he died, about 30 dollars less than he paid for it. I know the inflation rate means that 250 would be about 100 bucks in 1980 money but it still ran after sitting 4 years in a coastal town
Around 1995 I got one of the last commercial McCullough saws it was a leftover at the NE distributor after they dropped the line when Muccullough out of business it was brand new but probably 5 years old never used when I got. I loved that saw I used it so much I wore out the bar... Twice! I still have it, haven't started it in 10 years stopped using it when I couldn't get parts for it any more all I needed was a new air cleaner All metal no plastic and heavy but man it could cut all day
Oh, one of these strange Tillotson Models... I got one close to that on a Sihl 038, never got it to work right. Swapped it out to a also fitting Tilllotson from another series. Works like a charm. All the best to you guys, have a nice day
here's a tip that might prove useful for you and others. Use THIN superglue and baking soda. it dries almost instantly, and is very strong. the material can then be machined, or sanded into perfect shape. I use a super glue I got off ebay, I forget the name at the moment, but it's not the stuff you buy in stores, it's sure nuff stick youf fingers together kind, very strong on it's own, but the baking soda adds material and hardens it. They use the same method to fix dings in carbon fiber helicopter blades, so it is strong. Also, I sometimes use the epoxy putty to replace material until it sets up, it can be shaped, and once hard can be machined or sanded into shape as well, but it's sometimes easier to use than the baking soda and super glue method, especially when making complex parts.
@@dalesworld1308 not only does it have to be strong but the really thin CA works best with the baking soda. You can put the soda on first actually, then soak with the thin glue.
@@bloodreighn I use Bob Smith industries super thin super glue. However I find their thicker glue better for simply sticking the parts together. by the way, you can use just a little glue and soda, then build it up to where you want it that usually makes for an easier time shaping it. I used the epoxy putty to repair the leg of a ceramic carousel horse that was missing. When my wife, an artist in her own right got done painting it you could not tell it wasn't original However I documented the process with photos and showed the photos when I listed it on ebay It sold, and the lady was very happy to get it. She had one that was destroyed in a fire.
Hi from this old grease rag over the pond . just what i needed , a chain saw video . anyway Have a Happy new Year from this old grease rag in Wiltshire
Jonsered in the past was a good brand, we sold them for years, along with husqvarna and echo- all were great products- the echo every single power product made by them is flawless, made in Japan, husqvarna great saws going towards the top end of the range, although now are heading towards electronic engine management, but still good saws although they also sell cheap gpcrap with plastic casing, so when the clutch heats up by a blunt chain it melts so engine is a bust. Husqvarna used to be made everything in Sweden, some still are, but have moved to Poland to reduce costs. Jonsered now a days are all crap
No Jonsered are not "...all crap", they are very similar to Husqvarnas made in the same factory with many interchangeable parts. I bought a pro-grade Jonsered (Ulticor) 52cc a couple of years ago and it cuts very well, the only thing I do not like on any modern saw is the autotune carb system which means they have to be tuned by plugging them into a computer programme...I prefer to do things the old way. It is a fact though, that many larger chainsaw manufacturers (such as Stihl, Husqvarna, Homelite) have entry level, 'home owner' saws, some of those are very cheaply made and don't last too long. They are often manufactured in China.
@@fritzdoerring9058 The old all metal saws with simple technology can lasr generations, but many people today do not like the heavy weight, neither do they know how to maintain things themselves.
Hi Mustie. Happy New Year. Please what happened to the bucket truck you bought to do your roof. Did you repair the generator and get the mewp working properly?
Another item saved, and the older saws were the built ones..unless you get into the Echo's Stihl's and such. I actually use a bunch of Popsicle sticks, some sanded thin on the end, then finished with polyurethane, to use as scrapers and wedges for those old diaphragms on the little stuff..chainsaws/weedeaters/etc.. to try and save them, then a couple more of the sticks to separate the pieces once you get it broke loose, as some of them have guide pins you don't want to bend..but those little items are sometimes a PITA to deal with, and older the better. Don't work on new ones, unless it's the top brands. Good save though, and hopefully you'll get some use at the cabin or around the yard with that saw..if not, Brian always has a need for them ;)
There should be a law preventing bigCorp from buying brands and cheapening them out to eat the fat from them. We're gonna run out of good brands and no new ones will pop out in this utterly desert like competition that's been transformed in a buffet for fat CEOs and shoddy investors with questionable worth.
aserta there will always be a market for a quality version on something and as long as there is a market their will be a manufacturer, whether it be big or small.
I HAD MULTYPLE CHAINSAWS OF ALL KINDS IN MY FISHING RESORT, "JOHNSORED" WAS ONE OF THE BEST, AND SO WAS MY "HUSQUARNA" I BELIEVE , THEY WHERE BOTH FROM SWEEDEN.
Yes, both Jonsered and Husqvarna are Swedish brands and both named directly after the towns in which they were founded. Jonsered is now a brand of the Husqvarna Group and the factory in Jonsered was closed in 1984 and the production of Jonsered chainsaws was moved to Husqvarna. But Husqvarna still maintains an R&D unit in Jonsered. Husqvarna was founded all the way back in 1689 as a state-owned rifle factory and Jonsered was founded 1834 by a Scotsman in Sweden primarily making sail canvas. Both companies started making chain saws in the 1950s. The Husqvarna Group owns other chainsaw brands like McCulloch and PoulanPro too.
@@ITubeTooInc Makes sense. Jonsered produced waterproof tarps, covers and firehoses and in the 50`s started make chainsaw and cranes for logging. Jonsered's engineers was also involved in the development of the bearing. SKF (Swedish Bearing Factory) has its factories 5 miles down the stream from Jonsered's Factories 1978 Electrolux Home appliance bought Husqvarna for their kitchenaids and the brand was kept. In somehow chainsaws got into that department and Electrolux also bought Jonsered and Partner brand to merge them in to the company. Crane division was sold to Hiab-Foco. Husqvarna sold the Motorcycle department in 1987 to Italian Cagiva. 2007 it was sold to BMW and 2013 to KTM. 2006 Husqvarna was branched off from Electrolux to become an incorporated company and took back the old logo from 1973 and reworked it to fit in the 21st century
Next time you glue plastic together, try using super glue like you used but sprinkle some baking soda over the top of the super glue. No need to wait for the part to dry and it will be stronger. I've used this trick to fix plastic parts on my Chinese scooter.
That was very informative for me I've got a stash of about 10 not common name chainsaws in my shop dont know much about mixing oil and gas I work on twin cylinder and 3cylinder engines for pulling tractors gas race gas and nos...very touchy stuff that nos is so how do you know what mixture works best for that saw.i used to rebuild carbs for anything 6 to 600 hp still do but mostly build pulling garden tractors and do customization to them as well,if it was me I would of just got a new carb and saved so time it sometimes it's cheaper then the kit .but if you would like to see one of my builds just let me know and I'll send you some pitures thanks for the video
Most have a tag that says mix. It usually is 30:1 or 50:1 30 parts gas 1 part oil or like 50 to 1. If it don't say just stay with the 30:1 or look up that motor online and it will tell you
I had an idling problem with my 510sp. The new ethanol gas ate up the sealant between the upper and lower case halves allowing an air leak. I was adjusting the carb forever until I resealed the case with silicone. Runs like a champ now. I have a junk saw for spare parts. Let me know if you need the recoil off it.
One thing I would of also check is the brake the blade. You don't what that to fail if you have a kick back. Great video and lots of ltc's showing as well. You always make things look so easy.
That chainsaw is a doozie now, as one of my old mates would say :-D The tiny carbs can be almost impossible to fix if they have blockages, it's often better to just buy a new one. Mustie1 The chainsaw whisperer :-)
I agree that these diaphragm type carbs are difficult to fix. I never got one to run normal again and usually donate my old blowers/ trimmers to the local High School shop class 👍🏻
Only if you aren't familiar with them. You need to find a repair shop that sells pumper carb rebuild kits. With the right rebuild kit, this carb will run like new.
I love these long-form videos - just saying - it's a great decompressor for me at the end of the day. your almost unflappable demeanor (regarding challenges) and the way you speak as if I'm there really makes me feel like I'm "hangin' out, wrenching with ya." lol :)
HI I AM JUST DROPING YOU A NOTE TO LET YOU KNOW THAAT I RELEY INJOY YOUR VIDIOS. I WAS IN H.V.I.C. FOR 20 YEARS AND THERULY INJOYED EACH DAY FOR THE MOST PART. YOU COME ACROS AS A CAARING AND HONIST PERSON . I HAVE A TERMONAL DESISE OF THE LOUNGS, AND AM IN THE FINAL STAGE.

KEEP UPP WHAT YOU ARE DOING THERE ARE TO FEW LIKE YOU AND THE WORLD IS SO MUCH RICHER FRO PEOPLE LIKE YOU .KEN FROM DOWN UNDER.
I had same problem with that safety spring on a similar saw. I wrapped it with 3 turns of wetted cotton thread to secure it then cut it with a long scalpel thru the slot.
I like the look of that older saw in the background near at the end on the left. Looks like a old homelite? I have a old homlite XL12. Not very common in the uk. But I got one. And for a 60s saw, it has some power. runs a 28" bar and a 16". One of the best saws i have ever used. All metal construction. Bullet proof. 35:1. You just need to respect the old saws as no chain break and all. Does anyone know the nut size and thread on the if the XL12? (blue kind, automatic). Cant seem to find anything that fits it right. So far im using a wingnut and a nut i found on the floor that fits it. It does look a bit strange haha Great video.
Henry Maude, that caught my eye too. I believe you're correct, that old-timer on the left is a Homelite. I had a few of them, they're easy to fix and you won't find any plastic on it. Lots of small brass parts. Only real downside to me was you have to lube the chain manually with your thumb on a thumb pump while running it. Beast of a saw though.
Liquid super glue and immediately a complete coverage of baking soda on top of the super glue will make a rock hard adhesive that can be filed or sanded.
Great video! I've been binge watching your channel to try and get current. It's funny how I have been fixing small engines and equipment for 45 years and employ many of the same repair techniques you do. When you get the mechanic reputation, broken things seem to appear in your garage.....sometimes even left on your doorstep. Good job on the carb; they can be challenging.
Nice to see someone doing high level rebuilding with the same tools I have, mostly. No $40,000 Snap on collection. Bravo! it's brains, not dollars. Love watching your diagnostic skills.

I worked at a Jonsered / Dixon dealer when I was 17, I use to build saws from left over junk parts when I had time. Jonsered made very good saws.

I had a jonserd turbo was an awsome saw
Too bad Jonsred = tuned into cheap shit saw brand of late, they are focusing on Husqvarna in stead.

I've probably watched 6 or 7 videos about sharpening chains and gained all I needed to know in your 2 minute extra. You're a magician sir. Thank you
Awesome! Love to see the old stuff run again! I still have my Dads old Homelite XL ( 1960 sumthin with the manual oil pump) no hand guard, no chain brake, but i swear that heavy sucker cuts better than my Stihl 261... thanks for the video!

Wow! Props on getting the trigger lock spring working properly. You are the Master.
The same saw built my log house and cut scores of cords of firewood. New in 1985. Retired after 30 years of service. Great saws.

A good way to fix plastic parts is to use a solder iron or plastic welder and melt in some electrical wire across the crack. I prefer to use electrical wires with finer strands. you can use a bit of glue to hold the pieces together while you're melting in the wire and if needed a wet cold rag on the other side of the weld can help keep the parts original shape if the part gets too warm

Mustie you sir are a hero!!! I’m glad you showed the engineering behind that saw ! I would not buy one the way that throttle is designed!
I had to learn them inside and out and sharpening at correct angles to get my chainsaw license (not really a license to use a chainsaw but to fell small to medium Tree's the UK is a wierd place to live)
I like to imagine that Mustie started his channel by accident; He needed to record the disassembly of his projects so he could have a reference for reinstalling all the parts and pieces later. He’s smart on a whole nuther level
These vids are a really good sign that keeping up on maintenance is so important in keeping your machine/equipment running correctly and efficiently
I love the way you interact with the us (camera)...I have even caught myself answering you back when you say something :)
PS: Happy New Year!
My dad was one of the first dealers for Jonsereds in eastern Wisconsin. He was a Logger and saw them at the logging Congress on Green Bay. A few Weeks later a package arrived and it was a brand new 80. The agreement was to use it for a year and then they would come back for his opinion of it. He always used the biggest Homelite or McCulloch saws available back then. 60-70’s that were the best options. In less than a day he fell in love with that saw. It always started, light weight compared to others and anti vibration handles. At the end of the year they came back to meet with him. He purchased the saw from them and they offered him the dealership for our area. So we started selling chain saws, mostly to other Loggers, municipals, Tree trimmers and farmers. Later he started selling to more public people. Just a small area in our 2 car garage where he kept new saws and anything they needed. They were years ahead of most others at the time and a good 80 with a skilled operator was hard to beat. Switched to the Husqvarna’s in later years but both great saws. Both Swedish saws of high quality.
it's OK Mustie.. i was holding my breath for you as you were peeling off the Carb Diaphragms.. glad to help, Happy New Year from Scotland
888johnmac Pre heat the carb with a hair dryer.
And then hit it with a heavy hammer....do you have one?
Dale Fry I don't have a carb hammer,yet.
Funny,I just pulled the bowl off a Mikuni and one of the posts was broken and I thought the guy used the wrong hammer!
Dale Fry I did preheat those Mikuni carbs before disassembly. The carbs were outside ,-5F.
Good work. I stuck with you for the whole hour and then some. And I am glad.
I like your work. You are practical, you keep a civil tongue in your head, and I enjoyed watching you work.
You need some needle nose pliars. Very small ones.
so I notice how to tighten the chain, I worked in the woods for some time logging, how I have been shown is you pull up on the chain, that pulls the bar up as well, when the chain is right then you tighten the bar.
When I did tree work, we would hold the nose of the bar up with the left hand, and tighten the chain with the screwdriver in the right hand. Then, before you tighten the bar, you pull the chain around with your gloved hand. The chain should pull easily with very little slack showing on the bottom. Then, tighten the bar. As the chain gets warm, it expands and gets more slack.
Excellent teaching and trouble shooting video. Loved the editing when you installed the battery with four hands🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂👍👍👍 Can't wait for part 3
Dehydrated Fuel ....53:44 " HA " :)....Excellent video , lots of tips & loved the tuning part...& the saw RIPS :)
"YOU SUCK!" "I WIN!" ... Your comments are priceless!!! And your patience and diagnostic skills are tremendous. I love your vids. I always learn something from your tricks. Thank you.
I have a similar Jonsered, bought new about 30 years ago from a local dealer here in Southern Maine. It has been a great saw, as long as sawdust and chips are cleaned out often. I get a lot of comments when I go in for parts and supplies, "that old saw still running?" They made a good saw back then; It will still be running long after I'm gone!
I really like my old Jonsered, I paid $200 used, money well spent. Happy New Year, Thanks for all the stuff I learned this year, and the fun!
Morning piss yellow. 😂😂😂😂😂 wonder if they sell that at the paint store?
They don't call it yellow piss, buuuut.....
Trash, laughed my ass off at that comment too!
In the movie American Graffiti when Falfa and Milner finally meet Falfa is trying to describe the color of Milner's cars as "a mix of piss yellow and puke green".
It's on the same paint chip card as Baby Shit Green.
Never heard that one before- nearly ***t myself- you should be a comedian Mustie1- Great stuff
Nice job .....that saw was very popular years ago in the forestry industry...thanks...I’m subscribing!
I am a simple man, I see a new Mustie upload I fire up the TH-cam app on my TV, make some coffee, grab some cookies, turn the lights low, sit back and get comfortable, grab the cat and plonk him on my lap, let out a big contented sigh and press play... Have a great New Year Mustie 😍
Nice saw!! Not junk anymore! Just done this exact self same thing as a result. It's amazing what people throw out.
Coffee with Mustie... Gonna be a good day.. IT WILL RUN. Teach will make it so...Happy new year !,,,
Sunday special brew mug is almost empty, video only half way done.
What to do?
Great video, going to make my daughter watch this, she is a arboriculture student and just learning about saws and their upkeep. I will be looking for saws to do just this type of tear down. Thanks
Still not understanding why Mustie's videos get thumb's down? And especially so soon after publication? These are great videos. Maybe from people who feel he's not doing things "properly" in their minds? They should just leave him alone! Thumb's up from me. Happy New Year!
I bet the thumbs down came from a bunch of vegans....
I mean, did you see that delicious cow carcass on that bun at the end?
mmmmmmmm bur-ger
Or a freak that's mad cause somebody cut a tree.
There are some folks who will never be happy.
Those types who troll, never satisfied.
Theirs is a miserable existence.
Jealous people!!
It does not matter Google looks at it exactly the same, it is a response and that is all they care about. A lot of people know this and all they do is hit the thumbs down knowing full well it is the same as hitting thumbs up.
Good job on getting that carb to work again with out new parts. That’s not an easy task no matter how new the saw is. Thanks for the video.
Jonsered is owned by Husqvarna and they are actually Husqvarna saws under the hood. Still good saws in my opinion. But I am biased, I used to work at Husqvarna R&D dept.
Frig snacks Sir. We ran the distribution and race saws for husky in MN. We would port and polish in the mobile home between gigs. I still have my sthil still killer that looks stock. We called it a b rebuild. Had some Boyz taking down a cottonwood. Bzzzz. I just dropped it. Felled with style. Timber! Meh not even fire wood. Happy New Year.
So is all the plastic your fault? ;o)
David Österberg Do you have any stories of cool stuff that never made it to production?
Tom, can you write that again in English please.@@tomtheplummer7322
I sold my dad's old Rancher 61 for 250 bucks after he died, about 30 dollars less than he paid for it. I know the inflation rate means that 250 would be about 100 bucks in 1980 money but it still ran after sitting 4 years in a coastal town
Camera is OK nice motor great video thank you five stars my friend
Picked up an old Lombard 2 man saw, 125cc in Texas? gonna try to bring it back to life.
Those are hard on your back
How did it go?
Great video. I really enjoy watching you go through each step, big and small, mistakes and all, when you equipment back to life.
Love your work. Nice Blues Brothers reference.... “Glue....Strong stuff."
Hi from Bakersfield California. You yet once again are the man. Great video
Mustie doing his own dance when pulling the saw over
Around 1995 I got one of the last commercial McCullough saws it was a leftover at the NE distributor after they dropped the line when Muccullough out of business it was brand new but probably 5 years old never used when I got. I loved that saw I used it so much I wore out the bar... Twice! I still have it, haven't started it in 10 years stopped using it when I couldn't get parts for it any more all I needed was a new air cleaner
All metal no plastic and heavy but man it could cut all day
Mustie1 i love the hour long videos, great content. 👍👍👍
Oh, one of these strange Tillotson Models... I got one close to that on a Sihl 038, never got it to work right. Swapped it out to a also fitting Tilllotson from another series. Works like a charm. All the best to you guys, have a nice day
here's a tip that might prove useful for you and others. Use THIN superglue and baking soda. it dries almost instantly, and is very strong. the material can then be machined, or sanded into perfect shape. I use a super glue I got off ebay, I forget the name at the moment, but it's not the stuff you buy in stores, it's sure nuff stick youf fingers together kind, very strong on it's own, but the baking soda adds material and hardens it. They use the same method to fix dings in carbon fiber helicopter blades, so it is strong.
Also, I sometimes use the epoxy putty to replace material until it sets up, it can be shaped, and once hard can be machined or sanded into shape as well, but it's sometimes easier to use than the baking soda and super glue method, especially when making complex parts.
Brodak makes a good CA.
@@dalesworld1308 not only does it have to be strong but the really thin CA works best with the baking soda. You can put the soda on first actually, then soak with the thin glue.
Oooh thats interesting, ill give it a try!
@@bloodreighn I use Bob Smith industries super thin super glue. However I find their thicker glue better for simply sticking the parts together. by the way, you can use just a little glue and soda, then build it up to where you want it that usually makes for an easier time shaping it. I used the epoxy putty to repair the leg of a ceramic carousel horse that was missing. When my wife, an artist in her own right got done painting it you could not tell it wasn't original However I documented the process with photos and showed the photos when I listed it on ebay It sold, and the lady was very happy to get it. She had one that was destroyed in a fire.
toot tall also, store CA in your freezer. It will last dramatically longer (no moisture)
Hi from this old grease rag over the pond . just what i needed , a chain saw video . anyway Have a Happy new Year from this old grease rag in Wiltshire
..A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR'S..
Your garage is high class! You have a fancy rug by your workbench!
Jonsered in the past was a good brand, we sold them for years, along with husqvarna and echo- all were great products- the echo every single power product made by them is flawless, made in Japan, husqvarna great saws going towards the top end of the range, although now are heading towards electronic engine management, but still good saws although they also sell cheap gpcrap with plastic casing, so when the clutch heats up by a blunt chain it melts so engine is a bust. Husqvarna used to be made everything in Sweden, some still are, but have moved to Poland to reduce costs. Jonsered now a days are all crap
No Jonsered are not "...all crap", they are very similar to Husqvarnas made in the same factory with many interchangeable parts. I bought a pro-grade Jonsered (Ulticor) 52cc a couple of years ago and it cuts very well, the only thing I do not like on any modern saw is the autotune carb system which means they have to be tuned by plugging them into a computer programme...I prefer to do things the old way. It is a fact though, that many larger chainsaw manufacturers (such as Stihl, Husqvarna, Homelite) have entry level, 'home owner' saws, some of those are very cheaply made and don't last too long. They are often manufactured in China.
@@fritzdoerring9058 The old all metal saws with simple technology can lasr generations, but many people today do not like the heavy weight, neither do they know how to maintain things themselves.
I love your videos! Every time I watch one, I learn something new! Just LOVE your shows! You are so patient with your equipment!
After seeing that burger, I suppose the next video will be about rebuilding and installing a heart valve.
Hi Mustie. Happy New Year. Please what happened to the bucket truck you bought to do your roof. Did you repair the generator and get the mewp working properly?
Watching Mustie with that air gun reminds me of my dentist. The difference is I enjoy seeing Mustie.
I should be out doing the same thing. That Jonsonred looks like a really well built saw. You done a nice job with it. Thanks.
Another item saved, and the older saws were the built ones..unless you get into the Echo's Stihl's and such. I actually use a bunch of Popsicle sticks, some sanded thin on the end, then finished with polyurethane, to use as scrapers and wedges for those old diaphragms on the little stuff..chainsaws/weedeaters/etc.. to try and save them, then a couple more of the sticks to separate the pieces once you get it broke loose, as some of them have guide pins you don't want to bend..but those little items are sometimes a PITA to deal with, and older the better. Don't work on new ones, unless it's the top brands. Good save though, and hopefully you'll get some use at the cabin or around the yard with that saw..if not, Brian always has a need for them ;)
Mustie you are the WIZ. Luv watching your stuff. Thanks !!
There should be a law preventing bigCorp from buying brands and cheapening them out to eat the fat from them. We're gonna run out of good brands and no new ones will pop out in this utterly desert like competition that's been transformed in a buffet for fat CEOs and shoddy investors with questionable worth.
Jonsered is owned by Husqvarna
@Mark Stevens poulan pro is the cheaper brand of Husqvarna
@Mark Stevens The Husqvarna consumer saws are very good.
aserta there will always be a market for a quality version on something and as long as there is a market their will be a manufacturer, whether it be big or small.
You would think that might happen, but it won't.
Gosh, somehow this was very enjoyable to journey along with your logic and cleverness during this episode. Thanks for sharing!
I HAD MULTYPLE CHAINSAWS OF ALL KINDS IN MY FISHING RESORT, "JOHNSORED" WAS ONE OF THE BEST, AND SO WAS MY "HUSQUARNA" I BELIEVE , THEY WHERE BOTH FROM SWEEDEN.
Sweden. Husqvarna. Jonsered. Multiple.
Yes, both Jonsered and Husqvarna are Swedish brands and both named directly after the towns in which they were founded.
Jonsered is now a brand of the Husqvarna Group and the factory in Jonsered was closed in 1984 and the production of Jonsered chainsaws was moved to Husqvarna. But Husqvarna still maintains an R&D unit in Jonsered.
Husqvarna was founded all the way back in 1689 as a state-owned rifle factory and Jonsered was founded 1834 by a Scotsman in Sweden primarily making sail canvas. Both companies started making chain saws in the 1950s.
The Husqvarna Group owns other chainsaw brands like McCulloch and PoulanPro too.
@@ITubeTooInc Makes sense. Jonsered produced waterproof tarps, covers and firehoses and in the 50`s started make chainsaw and cranes for logging. Jonsered's engineers was also involved in the development of the bearing.
SKF (Swedish Bearing Factory) has its factories 5 miles down the stream from Jonsered's Factories
1978 Electrolux Home appliance bought Husqvarna for their kitchenaids and the brand was kept. In somehow chainsaws got into that department and Electrolux also bought Jonsered and Partner brand to merge them in to the company. Crane division was sold to Hiab-Foco.
Husqvarna sold the Motorcycle department in 1987 to Italian Cagiva. 2007 it was sold to BMW and 2013 to KTM.
2006 Husqvarna was branched off from Electrolux to become an incorporated company and took back the old logo from 1973 and reworked it to fit in the 21st century
Great video........BTW..........I'm never going to try to take a carb off a chainsaw. Chance I could get it off..no chance to reassemble!
Next time you glue plastic together, try using super glue like you used but sprinkle some baking soda over the top of the super glue. No need to wait for the part to dry and it will be stronger. I've used this trick to fix plastic parts on my Chinese scooter.
Darren you live dangerously. Starting that thing with the chain engaged..Good Lord!
That was very informative for me I've got a stash of about 10 not common name chainsaws in my shop dont know much about mixing oil and gas I work on twin cylinder and 3cylinder engines for pulling tractors gas race gas and nos...very touchy stuff that nos is so how do you know what mixture works best for that saw.i used to rebuild carbs for anything 6 to 600 hp still do but mostly build pulling garden tractors and do customization to them as well,if it was me I would of just got a new carb and saved so time it sometimes it's cheaper then the kit .but if you would like to see one of my builds just let me know and I'll send you some pitures thanks for the video
Most have a tag that says mix. It usually is 30:1 or 50:1 30 parts gas 1 part oil or like 50 to 1. If it don't say just stay with the 30:1 or look up that motor online and it will tell you
I had an idling problem with my 510sp. The new ethanol gas ate up the sealant between the upper and lower case halves allowing an air leak. I was adjusting the carb forever until I resealed the case with silicone. Runs like a champ now. I have a junk saw for spare parts. Let me know if you need the recoil off it.
Living 5 miles from that brand's origin. Now it just a Husqvarna..
One thing I would of also check is the brake the blade. You don't what that to fail if you have a kick back. Great video and lots of ltc's showing as well. You always make things look so easy.
That chainsaw is a doozie now, as one of my old mates would say :-D
The tiny carbs can be almost impossible to fix if they have blockages, it's often better to just buy a new one.
Mustie1 The chainsaw whisperer :-)
Yeah, those carbs are junk. I've never had so much trouble with a carburetor in my life. And even the new one is junk.
Ultrasonic cleaner!
I agree that these diaphragm type carbs are difficult to fix. I never got one to run normal again and usually donate my old blowers/ trimmers to the local High School shop class 👍🏻
zx8401ztv I used to think that way,I have a steam cleaner! You can still get them,supposed to be for cleaning bathrooms and such.
Only if you aren't familiar with them. You need to find a repair shop that sells pumper carb rebuild kits. With the right rebuild kit, this carb will run like new.
Reminds me of my old Husky 61. Still my go to after 30 years👍🇦🇺
I love these long-form videos - just saying - it's a great decompressor for me at the end of the day. your almost unflappable demeanor (regarding challenges) and the way you speak as if I'm there really makes me feel like I'm "hangin' out, wrenching with ya." lol :)
HI I AM JUST DROPING YOU A NOTE TO LET YOU KNOW THAAT I RELEY INJOY YOUR VIDIOS. I WAS IN H.V.I.C. FOR 20 YEARS AND THERULY INJOYED EACH DAY FOR THE MOST PART.

I LOOK FORWARD TO EACH DAY FOR THE JOY AND BEUTY THAT WELL ALWAYS BE THERE IF YOU BUT TAKE THE TIME TOO FIND IT. KEEP UPP WHAT YOU ARE DOING THERE ARE TO FEW LIKE YOU AND THE WORLD IS SO MUCH RICHER FRO PEOPLE LIKE YOU .KEN FROM DOWN UNDER.
"Morning piss yellow" never saw that one in the crayola box.😂
Me nether
Happy New Year!!! Enjoying your videos.. My homestead and cabin build is in its infancy, just started it.. Keep it up and thanks for your tips.
You made a good bargain, do i have to tell you, Jonsereds was Swedish 😊
I had same problem with that safety spring on a similar saw. I wrapped it with 3 turns of wetted cotton thread to secure it then cut it with a long scalpel thru the slot.
I like the look of that older saw in the background near at the end on the left. Looks like a old homelite? I have a old homlite XL12. Not very common in the uk. But I got one. And for a 60s saw, it has some power. runs a 28" bar and a 16". One of the best saws i have ever used. All metal construction. Bullet proof. 35:1. You just need to respect the old saws as no chain break and all.
Does anyone know the nut size and thread on the if the XL12? (blue kind, automatic). Cant seem to find anything that fits it right. So far im using a wingnut and a nut i found on the floor that fits it. It does look a bit strange haha
Great video.
Henry Maude, that caught my eye too. I believe you're correct, that old-timer on the left is a Homelite. I had a few of them, they're easy to fix and you won't find any plastic on it. Lots of small brass parts. Only real downside to me was you have to lube the chain manually with your thumb on a thumb pump while running it. Beast of a saw though.
@@AlAllerton I want to get my hands on a older one like that. Add to the collection.
@@henrymaude1505 Are close to central Illinois? I have one that I will probably never get to.
@@richzahnle8198 I live in the UK. But thanks for the offer
@@henrymaude1505 Maybe if Mustie re-works his Homelite, I will dig mine out and follow along
That’s why you never use super glue on plastic. I use two part epoxy or JB Weld on all plastic repairs.
Liquid super glue and immediately a complete coverage of baking soda on top of the super glue will make a rock hard adhesive that can be filed or sanded.
Wow, I knew I loved baking soda for all of its goodness,but that is true I'll be in my own personal heaven.😊 thank you!
Thanks for that bit of knowledge. I hadn't heard of that.
Great video! I've been binge watching your channel to try and get current. It's funny how I have been fixing small engines and equipment for 45 years and employ many of the same repair techniques you do. When you get the mechanic reputation, broken things seem to appear in your garage.....sometimes even left on your doorstep. Good job on the carb; they can be challenging.
