Hey! Why not Australia? Did we done do you wrong? Fair crack of da whip bloke! That just ain't cricket!! Lol Cheers bloke from Sydney Australia.🇭🇲👍🦘🐨👍🇭🇲🇺🇸
You remind me of my long gone Uncle Flash. He worked at the railroad shop, working on old engines. He could fix anything. Everyone in town would bring him stuff. Good man.
Very cool! My neighbor was a Remington arms dealer, when he passed his daughter gave me a Remington chainsaw that turned out to be a pre production prototype model 770. It's Serial number 3. It's 100cc and weights 25 lbs. It runs but I've never cut wood with it before, it's like holding a dirt bike engine in your hands.
Thanks Teryl, I was in Vo-ag in the mid 70's We bought 2 PL-4's for helping local farmers keep their electric fence rows clear. Those saws were awesome. We also had a McCullough (larger unit) just in case there was need to drop a larger tree, it was quit a beast. Thanks for the video, and the blast to the past.👍👍
So many people buy cheap equipment though. But a high end saw like these where back in the day and you'll have a good saw for life. But the average person doesn't want to drop $800 for a saw to pass on to their children.
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this before, but you all have a great sound design editor! Every extra sound effect is great. Another great video, keep up the hard work!
I was especially interested in this video because I have a PL4. I bought it new in 1969 when I lived in my first house with a wood burning fireplace. I still have it and it still works fine; although I don't use it much anymore. It cost $200. Thanks for the interesting videos.
Taryl, I highly recommend you buy a Sure Shot A1000R sprayer, Its a 1 quart bottle that you fill up with whatever liquid you prefer, pump up with your air compressor. Instead of using expensive cans of brakeclean/carb cleaner, just fill one of these with gasoline for cleaning, Add a little acetone to the mix for some more punch. Youll save a crap ton of money for extra hamms!!
EPIC PULL brother!! That was legendary, got er' on the last pull as your ripped out the rope, started right up! Damn you know how to put on a show! Whhhhhoooooooeeeeee!!
Taryl you have the patience of the Pope! I would have bounced that chain saw off of the wall after the second failure. And finding out the problem and admitting that it was your own fault. Wow! You really have character.
When I was A young aspiring Technician back in the 70's we moonlighted for a large tree trimming operation and did the majority of maintenance on all of the equipment which mostly consisted of Stihl,Homelight,Remington and Mcouloch Saws along with various other high wear tools and equipment.I recently did a piston replacement on a Stihl 032AV for one of the sons of the original Owners who just wanted a running saw that was used by his pops who had passed away a few yrs back,probably will just hang in Mancave as a conversation peice and to have something that reminds him of his Dad,yet can still be used if needed.Its neat to watch your vids as they remind me of days gone by along with just good,solid mechanic work,A+ on this one Taryl Dactyl .......
Hey Taryl, I was surprised to see that you had fire. I’m sure you got point ign there. I works on saws for almost 40’years. All brands but mostly homelite and then in the later years Jonsered and Efco. In earlier years I mostly fixed ign systems(points and condensers) then when electronic ign got popular and gas became sick dinosaur juice, it was an awful lot of fuel system cleaning and rebuilds. Your video brought back some great memories. I loved the saw repair business. Thanks. Would love to meet you someday. 👍😃
Those were some good old saws. I have an old PL5 sold by Agway. It sits for looong periods of time and it'll start and run perfectly every time I start it. Pretty crude sounding saw.
I have a chainsaw collection of around 60saws, Half of them are vintage homelites! I have six 330 homelites and one of those saws was the 250th saw made on the 250th day of the year and a 1979 that was the 79th saw off the assembly line! I logged with one that I still own, And I thought it did a pretty good job for as hard as I ran the thing. It's a must that you do a exaust mod on this model if you want it to run good.
It was probably pretty frustrating for Taryl, but I learned a lot from watching him backtrack through the unforeseen problems. It's nice to know that sometimes these machines can surprise even the pros.
Love your vids!You pulled that rope a hundred times and when it finally fires,the rope breaks! I thought that crap only happened to me.I admire how you admit your shortcomings.Which you could easily cover up.But on this one,I thought we might have to get Faryl involved!(I"d a scrapped that Remington along time ago!)
Awesome. I got an SL11a at a pawn shop for $15 a few years ago, cleaned and set the points, adjusted the carb, sharpened the chain, and i've been using it ever since, these cheap old saws are the way to go if you're just using it every now and then.
My now 80 year old dad bought a brand new PL4 from Landis Engine Company in Nebraska City Ne in March 1967, for around $250 with an extra bar & 5 chains. That man & saw cleared idk how many acres of farm ground, plus cut a zillion cords of firewood. Still his go-to saw. In all these years it’s had 1 set of points & condenser, umpteen carb rebuilds and idk how many starter ropes & clutch drums. This surviving original bar is shot beyond belief, and is marked “Stellite”. You can’t tough the burrs on it with a file. That saw is loyal like no other.. Built him a damn nice Echo CS400 last year…with vibration dampening & auto oiler he doesn’t know he’d been missing!
Nice one Taryl, I love old vintage saws, I collect them. I had that problem with my vintage Homelite C5 chainsaw when trying to get it running, wouldn't pump fuel even after putting a carb kit in the carburetor. Looked at the reeds and they weren't sealing, this saw has 4 reeds, so I replaced them and still wasn't pulling fuel so I was stumped. Then I tried priming the carburetor by forcing fuel into the line and it started working, runs like a top now!
That thing is nearly identical to an old Homelite chainsaw I have that's powder blue in color. You reminded me of it, and your video has inspired me and may aid in doing a rustoration on it 😁
I also have an old Homelite identical to this same color scheme as well. Like Taryl said shes very loud and crispy like holding a 1970’s era dirt bike wide open
@@kevinadams8384 Yep, I got one from a friend's barn, after cleaning the tank and a kit on the carb, works great. I always prime the beast down the carb to avoid the dozens of pulls Taryl did. I showed it to my son who cuts wood, he said, "I was offered one during a house cleaning, and turned it down". REAL heavy saw.
What a great way to start off a beautiful Sunday morning - with Mr. Dactyl and his oh so talented family of performers!! Now he is preserving another piece of small motor history while educating and entertaining. us which of course is the specialty!! I hope this cold weather and snow has brought more prosperity to y'alls business fellas. Thank you for another great show!!!
Taryl, I watched your video on a John Deere GX345, surging issue. So I was having that problem with my GX345. I’m pretty mechanically apt but your video made it much easier. I just wanted to thank you for that. The three jets that are stacked up is where the problem was just like you said. I took the last jet out and it was loaded with crap in there. I’m thinking of adding a second fuel filter. I service my tractor every year and the one filter must not be cutting it. It’s a John Deere filter from the John Deere maintenance kit. It looks like a cheap filter. I’ve seen ones that look better at O’Reilly auto parts. But I have had this tractor for eleven years before it started surging so I can’t complain too much. I really like your channel, you guy’s are a riot. But when you are fixing stuff, your serious business. Thanks, from Western Massachusetts!
I like the old manual oilers. When the rope pulled off it reminded me of taking the saw to the garage to fix the rope. Check it out. Then walk out back to do more cutting just to have it jamb right back up again.
very NICE fix there Taryl!!! That saw is REALLY nice!!! I bet once you clean it up really well on the outside - even re-paint it if you want - that thing would look AWESOME!!! VERY NICE!!!
Getting caught up on some of the videos that I haven’t seen before… Taryl, there’s a big difference between a lubricants and penetrants! PB Blaster is a penetrant where your gel lube is just that, a lubricant, (just as it says in its name…“Gel LUBE” When I do those starters, I just wrapped the cord around it while it is out and I go one more turn around, that way when I pull it out, it wants to go back to the same spot where it has the rope already in it so I don’t have that fighting with that thing like you did. Other than those two things you do quite well. Keep up the good work! Edward H - just down the street from Podunk Road in Madison, Connecticut
Nice job. Looked like it actually cut really nice. That rope, ripping out, just as the saw started..... That was solid gold... Hilarious! You couldn't film that if you tried..... I've said this before, during the monthly engine start videos... Nobody pulls that rope like Taryl. He RIPS that rope.... Dude could probably start a 6.2 Yukon Denali with a rope, and some gloves.... If you cleaned that thing up, it'd probably look great in a chainsaw collection. Neat saw.... I was sort of waiting for you to tell us who really made it. It clearly was branded Remington, and someone else made it...
Great job Teryl! I have to wonder why the customer wants to spend money on something that is going to just hang in his "man cave". Looks like a good saw once you finished with it. Also want to thank you for showing that even pros screw up now and then! :)
it comes down to bragging rights, yep i have x number of saws and every one of them is functional. there's a guy in Castlemaine Australia with several hundred saws hanging on his walls, he has car clubs etc visit for a donation per person which he gives to charity. can you imagine anyone collecting cars that don't actually run? and i don't mean poor people who trash a car and park it out back and get another junker.
we had one of these in the 60's only it was blue and white, their big selling point was the roller nose it even came with a special grease gun to inject grease in the roller.
I used to have a homelite XL12, it looked the same as that Remington. That saw was a beast, very powerful saw and loud too. I wish I still had that saw. Good job Daryl.
I was given on of those back in the summer rebranded as a Montgomery wards (wards paint color ) and all it took was a carb kit to get it running . I cut some wood with it and it did a great job. But as with old saws parts are hard to find except for carb kits so it will be now a Shelf Queen .
About a month ago, I picked up 6 vintage chainsaws at a garage sale for 25 bucks, and one of these was in the bunch. Cleaned the carb, put new gas line into the tank, and she fired right up. I'll never get rid of it. Supposed to be 59cc's.
I was paying attention! I noticed the sdrawkcab fuel pump diaphragm on the original installation and was going to research because I thought my memory was wrong! Your human, like the rest of "us".Thanks for telling us where you made a mistake.
I own a SL-9 1977 Remington chainsaw and a matching Pow-R-Cut multi purpose cut off saw. These things were made like a sherman tank! I own about 60 chainsaws and half of them are vintage homelites! I am not at all worried about saving the earth! The louder the better! And after reading some of the comments on this saw. It doesn't look nor is it made by homelite! The saw that copied homelite was a Lombard! I have a 1967 camango and it looks exactly like a homelite XL 12. And you should always put enough string on the pullstarter that your not coming to the end of the string because it will break the pully or the string or both! And always set the saw on the ground and put your hand on the handle bar and pull with the other, But drop starting it is begging for trouble!😉
I have one of these saws mine is called WEN must have been made by Remington had bought it in the 60s or 70s. Have not run it in 30 years maybe I will have to see if I can get it going, thanks, love your channel 👍 Ken in Michigan.
I like to see that even a super-Pro like you Taryl, still has some "fails" once and a while. I just replaced the scraper blade on my Honda snowblower, and nothing went well. I even wailed my thumb nail with a ball peen hammer. Keep up the awesome videos, I impatiently wait for each new one !!
Ever work on a homelite xl...?I have 2 of them...got them both running but it doesn't oil...there is no oil pump like a sthil...one hose from the oil tank goes to the carb...I've looked for a carb kit bit can't find one...I believe the saw is from the early 90's...both are identical...but one says little red...thanks for your videos...there the best...funny and I learn alot...I watched your rebuild of the o66..or 660...I have a 660 and I put a 49mm in a saw someone gave me ,it's a 290 sthil...
I'm not sure what model my Grandpa had but the patent dates were 1959 and the saw was a white top just like yours. It belongs under the bench next to an XL-12 and a 10-10
I have the Montgomery Wards rebrand of this saw, it's a harvest orange/yellow color. I started to get it running but the recoil cup teeth are wore off so I have to give a quick yank to get it to spin over
It's similar to my old pioneer 1200a I rebuilt last year, after finding an oem cylinder for it on ebay. After all the work I did, I found that the gas line inside the carb was swollen where it plugged onto the fitting to exit the tank to the carb on the outside, making it suck air. After replacing the line, it runs like new.
Great video as usual Tayrl. I enjoy all and always watch anything coming up on notice. Since we're on chain saws can you please answer a question for me. I haven't been able to find a reliable answer to my question so far so I hope you can help me. I have a huskavarna 51 and I currently have a 16 inch bar on it. I just wanted to know if I can go up to a 20 inch bar without jeopardizing my saw in any way. I don't want to over work the old saw. Thanks again for the great content and any help you might provide.
suggestion i always melt the ends of the cord with a lighter when installed and push something flat against the end so they flare ? knot / crimp will never slip past the flare
You want vintage I suggest ya try a Remington Silver Logmaster. I got 2 of them one for parts and one thats on the bench for restoration. Would enjoy seeing a video on a Remington Silver Logmaster if ya can find them.
Reminds me of a old green poulan chainsaws everyone had back in the day. Had to pull the damn things until your back went out to get it to start from cold, but after that if you didn't let it cool down all the way the rest of the day it'd be a fairly good light brush and small limb saw.

Great entertainment Taryl, surprised no networks pick you up yet. History Channel were are you! Found your dinner. It's in the trash can.🤣
These old saws are brutes compared to the stuff you buy nowadays. I doubt if a new saw today will still run 55 years from now. Great video Taryl. 😂😁👍

...them darn little carburetor pieces... but once it was straightened out, that saw ripped! Great video!
Taryl - Taryl he's our man, if he can't fix it no one can.......Gooooooooooo Taryl!
Hey Taryl, I was surprised to see that you had fire. I’m sure you got point ign there. I works on saws for almost 40’years. All brands but mostly homelite and then in the later years Jonsered and Efco. In earlier years I mostly fixed ign systems(points and condensers) then when electronic ign got popular and gas became sick dinosaur juice, it was an awful lot of fuel system cleaning and rebuilds. Your video brought back some great memories. I loved the saw repair business. Thanks. Would love to meet you someday. 👍😃
Those were some good old saws. I have an old PL5 sold by Agway. It sits for looong periods of time and it'll start and run perfectly every time I start it. Pretty crude sounding saw.
I have 2 Homelite 330 and love the older saws. Good to see someone else rebuilds them.
I have a chainsaw collection of around 60saws, Half of them are vintage homelites!

@@tonymayhew191 what exhaust mod are you referring
My old Hoffco t-4 saw is from the 60,s and it's loud as they come but those saws were made for a different breed of men also

That engine is in good shape still and made quick work of that log. Nice old saw, great episode guys 👍
My now 80 year old dad bought a brand new PL4 from Landis Engine Company in Nebraska City Ne in March 1967, for around $250 with an extra bar & 5 chains.
That man & saw cleared idk how many acres of farm ground, plus cut a zillion cords of firewood.
Still his go-to saw. In all these years it’s had 1 set of points & condenser, umpteen carb rebuilds and idk how many starter ropes & clutch drums.
This surviving original bar is shot beyond belief, and is marked “Stellite”. You can’t tough the burrs on it with a file.
That saw is loyal like no other..

Sure looks like a homelite but that starter was a Fairbanks morse type.

Wow I thought that today you meet your mach this saw give you some trouble, but you fixed it correctly 😉👍congratulations 👏
If the new pull rope was synthetic fiber you could have melted a ball on the end. As well a crimping for a more secure connection.
I always tie a knot, then toast it a bit..just hot enough to make it shine.
Fuses it together so won’t come untied.

I have one of these saws mine is called WEN must have been made by Remington had bought it in the 60s or 70s. Have not run it in 30 years maybe I will have to see if I can get it going, thanks, love your channel 👍 Ken in Michigan.
I remember scuba diving a few fresh water lakes up north and saw 50 or more chainsaws and as many snow-mobiles down on the bottom!
Kind of a homelite that I had years ago . Cuts pretty nice .
love the bloopers lol!
i got an SL4 from 76 and a PL4 too good saws but have trouble with the automatic oilers on them and the manual pump too
You boys help make retirement entertaining and educational! Enjoyed watching, thanks.
Hi Taryl Can you do a show about different oils / lubes / grease / cleaning solutions and solvents and note your favorites? Greatly appreciated!
I like to see that even a super-Pro like you Taryl, still has some "fails" once and a while.
I just replaced the scraper blade on my Honda snowblower, and nothing went well.
I even wailed my thumb nail with a ball peen hammer.
Keep up the awesome videos, I impatiently wait for each new one !!
Ever work on a homelite xl...?I have 2 of them...got them both running but it doesn't oil...there is no oil pump like a sthil...one hose from the oil tank goes to the carb...I've looked for a carb kit bit can't find one...I believe the saw is from the early 90's...both are identical...but one says little red...thanks for your videos...there the best...funny and I learn alot...I watched your rebuild of the o66..or 660...I have a 660 and I put a 49mm in a saw someone gave me ,it's a 290 sthil...
We've all been there Taryl. Great channel.
just love to watch you guys so funny and informative
Great video taryl you and the crew have a great week
I'm not sure what model my Grandpa had but the patent dates were 1959 and the saw was a white top just like yours. It belongs under the bench next to an XL-12 and a 10-10
Nothing but a Homelite xl 12
Thanks for the videos. Very entertaining and helpful.
I have the Montgomery Wards rebrand of this saw, it's a harvest orange/yellow color. I started to get it running but the recoil cup teeth are wore off so I have to give a quick yank to get it to spin over
It's similar to my old pioneer 1200a I rebuilt last year, after finding an oem cylinder for it on ebay. After all the work I did, I found that the gas line inside the carb was swollen where it plugged onto the fitting to exit the tank to the carb on the outside, making it suck air. After replacing the line, it runs like new.
txs for sharing...
I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS VIDEO PRETTY COOL THE FUEL PUMPS ALMOST LIKE A MOTORBOAT EVINRUDE
It's a "Big Taryl or Big man" that can admit he made a mistake even if it is his glasses.
Great video as usual Tayrl. I enjoy all and always watch anything coming up on notice. Since we're on chain saws can you please answer a question for me. I haven't been able to find a reliable answer to my question so far so I hope you can help me. I have a huskavarna 51 and I currently have a 16 inch bar on it. I just wanted to know if I can go up to a 20 inch bar without jeopardizing my saw in any way. I don't want to over work the old saw. Thanks again for the great content and any help you might provide.
Good job on that old Chainsaw
suggestion i always melt the ends of the cord with a lighter when installed and push something flat against the end so they flare ? knot / crimp will never slip past the flare
I want to see that reed valve again! That para cord works wonders for the recoil rope! Fire it up Fire it up!
Nice video. Thanks for owning up to your mistake instead of editing it out.
That looks like the Stens pull cord... That is the only stuff I use for pull cords now I like it so much.
You want vintage I suggest ya try a Remington Silver Logmaster. I got 2 of them one for parts and one thats on the bench for restoration. Would enjoy seeing a video on a Remington Silver Logmaster if ya can find them.
When that rope came off on the pull that started it I laughed my ass off!!
Those have a funky oiler system. Can't see a 24" bar on those. Most I've ever seen was 18".
Slippers: Always coming up with new characters almost every episode!😅
Reminds me of a old green poulan chainsaws everyone had back in the day. Had to pull the damn things until your back went out to get it to start from cold, but after that if you didn't let it cool down all the way the rest of the day it'd be a fairly good light brush and small limb saw.
Dude you're crazy...but you do good work!! I like it! I just picked up one of these saws, similar condition. Thanks for the vid!
Good one Taryl on the mix/Micks - great video as always
I now have a craving for corn chips. Thanks man.
Nice vid.
I have a PL4 that needs a piston. I must spend some time with it.
Very entertaining. Where did you buy those teeth from? You are to be commended for fixing those old beasts. Love it!!!
I've got a Montgomery Ward made by Remington that has an electric start except I don't have the power pack for it so I just used the pull start
