Sold those when we had the OPE shop in the mid 1960's, good saws. We were also Homelite dealers as well. We got those saws from Speciality Welding (now Sunbelt) the small 12" models actually came in *blister packed on a sheet of cardboard like a tooth brush..
I bought an Italian saw in 1980 an Olympyk 264. I have a bunch of saws mostly Stihl however this old Olympyk 264 has been used extensively for all these years. I take care of the old girl but it always starts right up and runs beautifully. Very good saw, when I bought it the fastest reving saw saw I ever ran. 12,500 rpm 20:1 mix and 20 inch bar on 61 cc av power head.
So glad I caught this one. It's been awhile since I've been able. Really appreciated Taryl's chainsaw class! The sleeve work around, the coat hanger (I've spent an hour looking for my extraction tool, could and should have just used a coat hanger), the machined side of the carb! Plus, Tary seemed to be in high spirits during filming which really adds to the watchability part if it. Thanks fellas! Can't leave w/o mentioning the camera guy. Loved the new angles or new camera??
yeah I have a mid 80's Homelite baby chainsaw. old poulan pro PP295 chainsaw. Enjoyed the video Taryl. I might get the poulan running right yet. I haven't had no time to work on the Homelite. Biggest Piece of Fecal Matter chainsaw I own is a Coocheer chainsaw made in China. It ran 15 seconds brand new. Changed the coil that went out. It ran for about 3 minutes after that. Most expensive paperweight I got for Christmas one year.
Tractor mechanic here. The OG gas tractors came with Marvel Schebler carburetors. Ford, Ferguson, and I've seen them on some old John Deeres. Great video, Taryl. 👍
@@mudhustle That little spring does absolutely nothing except take the slack out of the chain by moving the bar after the bar clamp bolts are loosened. It bears no weight and serves absolutely no other purpose.
Watching you bring that saw back to life reminds me a couple years ago when i brought my dads homelite super xl 925 back to life. Replaced the fuel line and fixed the recoil spring and it ran like a champ. Had to rebuild the carb a month later and now it has a 34 inch bar and chain that came in handy cutting up a red oak that came down a couple weeks ago
Hey Taryl!!!!! Today I fixed my first small engine!!!! Thanks to you and your videos I had enough knowledge to fix my Stihl FS 38 . My carburetor was bad. I ordered up another one, and damn if I didn't install it and when it was all done I gassed it up and itran like a champ!!!! NOW THERE'S YOUR DINNER!!!!!!!!
Very cool! I just left a comment about how learning from Taryl helped me fix and old weed wacker. It was an FS 36. Rebuilt the carb, replaced lines etc and it runs great again. Good work on the FS 38! 👍
@@Montana_horseman man I've always wanted to go to Montana. I lived in Colorado for a few years I loved it but I heard Montana is amazing and I see in your videos
I work on chainsaws a lot more than my mowers, mainly because I use the chainsaws year round. I've learned a lot from Taryl and a couple other good mechanics on YT over the years. Just for fun, last year I went back to work on an old stihl weed wacker that I never could get running and had been sitting for years. Took it apart, rebuilt the carb, replaced the lines etc.. The things been running like a champ again ever since. Couldn't have done it so easily without learning from people like Taryl. 👍
Forty years later the Castor is still a nice perfectly practical tool. I'm glad TD was willing to do some detective work to figure out the oiling and bring it back to life. Great addition to the museum. Wonder if Castor is still in business.
Hey Taryl, Tillotson Carbs were founded in Toledo, Ohio in 1914. It was bought out by Borg Warner at some point in the 60s and production was moved to Tralee in County Kerry, Ireland. I drive past the torn down plant on occasion. There's your dinner.
Hy Taryl and staff, it’s always my Sunday evening entertainment to watch your video, right with my Labrador Sam and me sitting on the couch here in Germany. I wish you a nice evening now in the USA and I will stay tuned next Sunday again. Hope we can see the complete new shop soon, sounds quite spacious, in reference to the echo 👍💪🍀🌞
I had a little Craftsman saw from the late nineties/early 00s that had a similar tensioning setup. The failure point on those was the bar nut, which was a steel sleeve pressed into a piece of plastic that would deform when it got hot. The tensioner was fairly effective, though. Not as nice as this saw though.
I just started collecting saws, and I have never heard of this one. But really like it. I just got for free an older Redmax G621avs saw. Same issues as yours with a bad fuel line. Replaced it and runs like it's new.
Thanks again Taryl! Always inspired to fix it myself. We have a large shade tree and a picnic table where i do my repairs. I now have five chainsaws. People get rid of them before learning how to clean and maintain them. Thanks for all the how to videos. A fan in Northwest Missouri
back about 1955 on the farm in minnesota. we had a mcculluch or something like that. I remember it was really heavy and clunky but worked. I was only 10 at the time.
Italy makes awesome machinery. I order Meteor pistons cylinders for saws made in Italy. Also I had Ducati and Cagiva 125MX motocross bikes . Many new Tractors construction equipment like Case use CNH Fiat diesel and Cararo axels transmissions.
Such a cool piece to add to the collection. I have learned a lot over the years on your channel. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. 😎😎
I'm saying this again, but I did this with my Toro 220 off one of Taryl's videos! Those little cube carburetors! It started end of this winter when I needed it. I used Parts pro Direct. FREEDOME!!! Wait, that was Scotland! lol
That oiler also could have had a preformed hose on it because of the sharp bends. I've ran into that only a few times where the preformed is the only way. Usually i can adapt with fittings inline to get my angles.
Italy is wonderful. They made for kids and then adults the Arduino. Which is an Italian open-source hardware and software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers.
Those carb diaphragms can be easily restored by soaking them in brake fluid (ethylene glycol) for a couple of days. They come out soft and supple like new.
I’m ok with the idea of the auto tensioner, but I’m so used to manually adjusting chain tension that I don’t give it much thought after 45+ years of operating all major brands of saws.
Taryl...does the fuel tank clunk filter hose not need to be really flexible normally... so that the filter can flex the tubing to allow the clunk filter to fall to the far reaches of the tank.. or even the top of the tank when the saw is upside down? That Tygon tubing seems to allow that.....
Sir Taryl, Tell Mr. Cameraman to increase the aperture setting on the camera. Your depth of focus is too shallow making the autofocus dance around. If the settings are set to automatic, change it to between F5 and F8. This will keep your work in focus better. Good luck! Matt
I have some old saws from the 60s that are mag cased but you would have to hang them from chains. They would laugh at those wire shelves. One has a 2 foot bar on it and the other has a 3 foot bar. They belonged to my great grandpa who used them logging.

That is a keeper, I work on a lot of saws and never saw one like that.
300K SUBS!
Woooooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooo
That spring load is awesome. 🇺🇲
Tralee is in county Kerry, pronounced trahlee, hello from Ireland☘️grassrats! Irish eyes are smiling 👀
Oh Danny Boy !
Ouch, I just learned somthing. 😎 Thank you.

Tillotson carburetors were originally from Toledo Ohio. A lot of snowmobiles ran them in the 60's and 70's.
They were good carbtraitor on snowmobile, never had problems.
The "Fire it up!" editing with Elkskins was complete madness. I enjoyed the hell out of it! 🤣🤣🤣
So glad I caught this one. It's been awhile since I've been able. Really appreciated Taryl's chainsaw class!

Never ever seen that adjuster before! great idea!!

lock and load tensioner
cool !!!
Tractor mechanic here. The OG gas tractors came with Marvel Schebler carburetors. Ford, Ferguson, and I've seen them on some old John Deeres. Great video, Taryl. 👍
Old gasoline welders too.
Small aircraft carbs, also.
I remember when they were common 😢
This saw had a Tillotson carb though. You can see it.
Those old marvels ran for ever.
Bringing an old saw back from the dead! Way to go Taryl! A nice add to your collection.
The Best chain tensioner design I’ve ever seen. Can’t believe all the manufacturers don’t use that. 👍🏻🍻
I know right, it's stupid simple.
Agree!
Because it's a little spring in there. No real manufacturer would use a spring in such an important part of the chainsaw.
@@mudhustle That little spring does absolutely nothing except take the slack out of the chain by moving the bar after the bar clamp bolts are loosened. It bears no weight and serves absolutely no other purpose.
@@mudhustle
Yeah they use a 8/32 screw or similar pain in ass instead.

(53:30) They make great lawnmowers in Sweden and Norway. Klippo, Terrier, Stiga, Norlett, Caravan,... powered by Briggs, Tecumseh or Honda
Hey Taryl!!!!! Today I fixed my first small engine!!!! Thanks to you and your videos I had enough knowledge to fix my Stihl FS 38 . My carburetor was bad.

Fire it up. Fire it up.
Another thorough and cool old piece of forgotten history
Every shop needs a museum!

Cameraman gotta receive an academy award here. Fast and accurate. Kudos.
Kyle, I believe.
Refreshing seeing you revive what others would not try! Gives us grass rats hope! THANKS!!!!!!
Definitely a good thing on the tensioner, she's powerful too!
Good old stuff again. Thanks Taryl and team. 👍
Taryl thanks for fixing this saw. It's a joy to see it run again.
Nice piece of history that you have recovered. Love that wall you put together in you museum new building is coming along nicely…👍👍
Awesome tensioner system.
Wow very thoural video, my compliments to tyrals knowledge and the camera mans patience, thank you all so much
Nice running old saw ! they made alot of them better back then!!
Forty years later the Castor is still a nice perfectly practical tool. I'm glad TD was willing to do some detective work to figure out the oiling and bring it back to life. Great addition to the museum. Wonder if Castor is still in business.
Max and Jax are 5 and love your show! They wanted to say hello from Vermont

I like the wall of signs and saws! The castor chain adjuster is sweet.
I like that adjuster a lot.
Very nice saw, Taryl. 70cc’s of power.
That Spring tensioner is the bomb don't know why we haven't seen this before on saws what a great idea.
Nice work as always Taryl. You gotta do a video on that old electric start McCulloch.. I wanna see that baby live again too!!
The spring tension is a great idea.
Mr Dactyl that is one heck of a cool saw!!!! Thank you for this upload man!
Yeah I like that spring loaded tensioner too!
All saw companies should use that type of tensioner.
Elkskins Was Happy When You Fired It Up Taryl 😊😀😊😊
This is awesome woul d love to see a vid of all your saws
the Pioneer 2071 had the spring chain tensioner , the saw was only made in 1971 and 72, I had one , it worked well .
The fire it up fever dream was hilarious ❤❤❤

YES FINALLY SOME CHAINSAW DINNER!!
a pleasure watching a great mechani, good job, Tayrral.

I would like to visit Tarly’s museum someday to see some of the equipment he used in the videos. Guy is the real deal!👍
this is awesome!!! love seeing old things restored!!
Thank you for sharing. Like the tensioner👍
Looks like a Stihlch and McCulloch had a baby.
More like Homelite.
Looks like an old Echo.
Id say Stihl and Homelite had a baby
To me looks like a cross between stihl and echo
These Tillotson carbs are used on Stilch saws.
Thanks again Taryl! Always inspired to fix it myself. We have a large shade tree and a picnic table where i do my repairs. I now have five chainsaws. People get rid of them before learning how to clean and maintain them. Thanks for all the how to videos. A fan in Northwest Missouri
I think the spring loaded tensioner is great. It should be on all saws!
That’s a really neat saw!!! And yes that chain tightening system is really cool!!!

Taryl I love your videos and skits I. Am a new subscribers will be watching you forever and all your team love from Glasgow billy weir
Damn!!!!! That chainsaw sharpener is sweet!
He has a video on the channel of how you set it up and how it works if interested.
Hi Taryl that chain tensioner looks like a great idea simple to use ,another great video thanks Taryl
Not that I think you would need it, but there is an illustrated parts breakdown for this saw in the interscreen
WOW, You sure ticked off a lot of Carpenter ants when you cut that log.
Awesome video God Bless you and your family Amen
I have a 1957 Homelite 6-22 running saw, might fit on your wall but would need a heavy duty hanger, 22 lbs.
Such a cool piece to add to the collection. I have learned a lot over the years on your channel. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. 😎😎
I'm saying this again, but I did this with my Toro 220 off one of Taryl's videos! Those little cube carburetors! It started end of this winter when I needed it. I used Parts pro Direct.
FREEDOME!!! Wait, that was Scotland! lol
I like the auto tensioner!
Love the spring adjuster...Could you add some green foam over the old school screen, kinda like a pre-filter?
That oiler also could have had a preformed hose on it because of the sharp bends. I've ran into that only a few times where the preformed is the only way. Usually i can adapt with fittings inline to get my angles.
Very cool! Taryl is #1!!!!!
Podunk Shrinkflation, it went from Taryl Fixes All to Taryl Fixes Some!
I had a Sachs Delmar or McCullough chainsaw that had that "helper oiler". Pretty handy on old hardwood trees.
Italy is wonderful. They made for kids and then adults the Arduino. Which is an Italian open-source hardware and software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers.
If figured you flossed with .095 trimmer line.
Where that cotter pin is likely was originally a hairpin. I've had them in old Holley carbutraitor rebuild kits.
I like the auto chain tension spring. Very cool!
As always my Sunday night entertainment!! Thanks for another great video.
great old saw taryl
If Jay Leno were into lawn equipment his museum would look like yours.
nice old saw. I also have some old saws.
Super video !! I like that saw. And I like your sign and saw wall !!
Old is good. Like you Taryl. Huh Huh Huh......
A truly European adventure watched in Sheffield England 🏴👍
Thanks for the good deal on 6 gel lubes. Really good stuff!
It’s the Lamborghini of chainsaws… Italian engineering
Good job there Taryl that's a pretty nice saw
Those carb diaphragms can be easily restored by soaking them in brake fluid (ethylene glycol) for a couple of days.
They come out soft and supple like new.
FYI those refillable spray canisters are $40 at Harbor Freight.

Made in Italia! Can order parts on line my Uncle has one great saw!
I like that automatic chain tightener for sure!
I always love it when ya edit a bit of Elkskins in there!
It's good looking saw. Italian design.
the Wall of Saws should be added to the There"s You Dinner diner all you can eat place
There is new air filters on fleabay but their expensive. Great video
I have some old saws from the 60s that are mag cased but you would have to hang them from chains. They would laugh at those wire shelves. One has a 2 foot bar on it and the other has a 3 foot bar. They belonged to my great grandpa who used them logging.
Same chainsaw like Alpina 070 also made in Italy.
I paused to take a good look at the layout of the flywheel cooling vanes. I wonder if the different sizes improved air flow?
