After watching many of your videos, I've gotten pretty good at diagnosing and repairing some of the saws I had given to me. I had posted in our local forum that I wanted to learn chainsaw repair and if you had any that you wanted to donate............I have over 20 saws now ranging from Stihl 066 to Husqvarna 272XP down and I mean "down" to the green Poulans. I've done about 6 so far and it's been a lot of fun and very rewarding when one fires up and accepts tuning. Watching your procedures and listening to you explain what your findings are on different saws is well done. Only one saw has ended up in a garbage can so far and it wasn't taken to a repair shop either sorry to say. Just too far gone and not worth the effort. As always, Thanks for Posting!
Love that carb tuning by ear! After watching numerous videos doing this I finally caught on and was able to quickly adjust my poor running (due my my poor tuning) Husky to finally running great. Finished the day helping a friend cut up a downed tree, ran beautifully the whole afternoon. I love your videos; straightforward repairs learned from a little experience. LOL, just a little.
That bucket of parts brought back memories. I did tax prep back in the day and people would bring in bags of receipts expecting me to go through and organize/tally them up. It didn’t happen lol
Hi there. You have to know the saw well to make one from a bucket of bits. Glad they didn't strip any further! Do you find the loctite placed on the outside of a nut still there when you get them back next time? I always thought loctite threadlocker was anaerobic - won't cure unless deprived of air. It doesn't set in the bottle like sealant. Good idea though to stop nut loosening if it sets up a bit at least. Thx for the videos. Very helpful to the back yarders.
Why did you put the starter back on missing the center bolt that holds the pulley on? Its gonna rub on the flywheel best case, or completely fly apart worst case
Most common problems with those are the little white nipple that goes in the impulse track , and crank seals, plus that all they are is an orange version on the poulan pro or those purple saws 😮
It's common with people that aren't mechanically inclined, they tear everything apart trying to find the obvious broken thing. The logic usually is, it ran great the last time I used it so it has to be something simple, obvious, and easy.

I enjoy reading comments like this. Thanks for tuning in!
Basket case fixes are pretty satisfying when they work out. Nice job. 👍
Thanks for watching!

You just can not beat experience. Excellent video
Thanks for watching!
Great little saws to be homeowner grade.
Agreed. As a home owner saw they are decent.

I'm glad to hear the videos are helping. Thanks for watching!
Another great video Scott, thank you for your time brother. Take care
And thank you for your time. Later.
You’re videos are very cool rock on bro
@@jonathanfierberg3807 Thanks for watching!
I’ve Had a Few Of Those “Box” Saws Myself Over The Years 😀😇 Excellent Approach Too Repair and Diagnosis and Reassembly of That Saw 😊👍🏼
Thanks. Its really not too bad if you've worked on one before. Its the ones you've never seen that can be a challenge.
That was awesome!! Bucket of parts FIX
Except for the top cover screws it was almost complete.
Another great repair! Were those 36/136 series saws made by Poulan?
No, newer Poulan are made by Husqvarna.
I've done 2 of the husky 141s. The second one was a none running parts saw from ebay for 40 bucks. It's now my pruning saw. They're a great little saw
They were built halfway decent and I still see them come through often.
They just testing you with the bucket of parts. Got my carb stand last week and getting ready to put it work.
I hope you find the carb stand useful. Thanks for supporting the channel!

Yikes, I don't blame you.

Yes in fact I didn't show it in the video but I had to take the studs to the wire wheel to remove the old thread locker someone had put on.
Good to know, thx for the reply. Rgds, Peter
How about that light you use, were can I find one??
Amazon sells everything

Because people are playing games sending me saws in a bucket. Can't catch everything. Good job spotting it.
Looks like a Poulan!
How does the carburetor get fuel initially without the purge bulb?
Crankcase pulses are sent to the fuel pump in the carb. I find it usually takes about ten pulls to run the pump long enough to prime the carb.
@@TheGreasyShopRag thanks Scott. Love your videos man.
Kinda looks like the cylinders in a couple of my poulan saws! Great job out of bucket of parts!
Husqvarna owns Poulan so who knows?
Most common problems with those are the little white nipple that goes in the impulse track , and crank seals, plus that all they are is an orange version on the poulan pro or those purple saws 😮
Every brand has their residential stuff and their pro stuff. This one series saw is made for a home owner so yes its just like the purple ones.
Where ya located sir ?
Hahahahahahaha a bucket full of parts, 😂….. Great fix, Scott.
Thanks. Bonus, they didn't ask for the bucket back 🙂
@@TheGreasyShopRag . Hahahahahahaha, how good is that, 😂.
Thanks, Scott… Great video buddy.
I would be too embarrassed to bring a bucket of saw parts in for reassembly. Maybe someone bought it for cheap or free that way. 🤔
Thats a possibility.
Excellent run-through. So sad that a user could be so clueless.
Ya not sure what they were looking for. Maybe he lost his wallet and wanted to be sure to look everywhere.

Does this mean I can send you my Husqvarna trimmer in a bucket? LATER!
I don't think so, Jeffrey. Thanks for watching!
