Jack, I've had my Stihl 044 for over 35 years and she's a beast for sure, but I never touched my carburetor setting ever. And it ran great year-round here in Rhode Island.
Not just the word being the right way, the bar pointing down speeds up the chain too!!! And moving the saw back and forth like a hand saw ….. that really help cut fastest!
my first saw was an 044, it was running lean all around from the previous guys tunings, sounded great up high which i then learnt means to lean, kept turning off after running it for a bit, took me a few videos watching tuning and then youll see exactly what to listen for, its quite easy now, i tuned my saw the other week in about -18 celcius, had it running great and starting good, thing wouldnt start when i first bought it, took forever, all i know is counter clockwise is your friend lol, now if i have to ill just make small adjustments with temperature change, its easy to figure it out once you do it a few times, i did end up buying a cheap tach, and my tunes basically spot on.
Hey thanks so much for the comment, I tried a few times to clean that saw up. I honestly think back then I was running bad gas too, when I blew it up the first time, the second time I definitely had it adjusted incorrectly 🤷♂️ now I just drop it off and let my saw guy tune it so I know it won't be an issue. It's still a good running saw, wanna keep it around for a while 🤜🤛
Awesome and informative video Jack. Hey I was with you when you bought that premium light bar. Was so great seeing and hanging out with you at the Bunyan show. So thankful for your friendship brother!!!
@@PremierIowaTreeSurgeon hopefully see you in April at Hoosier, unless we figure out a date for the fellowship sooner than then!!!💪💪 I love ya brother 🤜🤛
Good show. Id reconsider reconditioning your grandfather's saw, just in memory of him but that's just me. Interesting to see how folks prep their saws, no wrong way IMO. Keep cuttin' Jack!
@@TravisDoesFirewood I wasn't very clear on his saw. Its been rebuilt, fully functional, I just have no use for a small saw. You end up working your body harder with small saws. It took me a while to understand it, but "stand up and buck" is a good thing to live by. Saves body fatigue 💪 I don't like having a bunch of different chains sizes to keep up with or maintain too. I'll end up getting rid of my ms250 eventually when I get either another 500, or i may get a 661 haven't decided yet 🤷♂️ we shall see.
I love having some of his tools here, miss the crap out of him. I think he'd really enjoy what I've tried to do in his foot steps. Thanks Jeremiah, have a great weekend bro!
I like the orange tape on the scrench! I can’t tell you how many of those I’ve lost in the woods. And my son thinks they’re digging picks 🙄 That 028 is one of the first saws I’ve ever ran!! Mines an 028 super. Back when they were built in Germany with actual metal. Mines as heavy as my 440. Rebuild that sucker!!!!
Oh , the 028 is fully functional now, I wasn't clear I'm my wording on the video. I justbdon't want to blow it up again which is why it just sits now. My 500 was made in Germany, Correct me if I'm wrong, pretty sure most of the commercial ones are. 🤣
@ I do believe the pro saws are still made in Germany but outside of that I’ve been told the vast majority of homeowner/wood boss/farm boss saws sold here in America are directly out of the stihl manufacturer in Virginia Beach. Who knows how accurate it is, but that’s what I’ve been told.
Great demonstration of how you mainetenance your saws. That 028 is beautiful. I got my grandad's 028 super av sitting in the basement right now and it wont ever run again either
Lol, it was cold out and I didn't want to be outside 🤣 those 028 are decent saws for what they are. I cut wood with it for 2 years before getting the 044 on ebay for 600 bucks shipped. Thanks wd30
Ive learned with the alternative 8 tooth sprocket i use on one saw, any slack at all can throw the chain off because of the larger sprocket size. Also ive found excessively flexible bars are not ideal for falling trees near the same size of the bar. Granted im talking 105-119 drive links that are bigger bars have. . The dealer ran a special on some odd 37" bars at $20 each. Also a odd 0.058 gage. Definitely some REAL flex in those gen1 Oregon light bars, with alignment problems are the main issue. 0.01c
I'm just a firewood guy, no dropping trees for me, I just like the 24" light bars to balance out the saw a bit. There is a noticeable difference for me at least holding on to the 500 or the 44 all day. Thanks David 🤣
carlton file o plate is what i use part no. 37501 i've had mine for 40 yrs. can't believe. i have'nt lost it .very hard steel.you can put it on a tooth and round file the chain it gives you depth of file and angle . half way back i go to 13/64 file. keeps nice hook. thanks Jack. the saw will cut faster with bar upside up?you'r joking right?you should flip bar occasionally for even wear ! in the 70s they made bars they called banana tips they had to be put on one way.
@@ElmhorstJ howdy, I'm pretty sure west coast saw designed their brand of depth plates guides after the Carlton ones. Ive seen Buckin Billy Ray use those often, but I'm unsure if they're still being produced. And of course I'm was joking about the bar flip. You should see some of the goofy folks on face book and tiktok that scream the bars upside down and they don't work properly if upside-down... trolling the trolls is all 🤣🤣 Cheers
I wonder how many of us have our Dads (Grandpa’s) old saws. I have my dad’s 1st saw he ever bought. It was an old McCulloch with zero safety and a thumb oiler.
I guess I was unclear on the video, but I had that saw rebuilt, and now it sits. She runs perfectly fine now though. I doubt I'll ever want to run a smaller saw. While they may be lighter, you spend alot more time being bent over trying to let the small saw work it's way thru stuff. I dunno 🤷♂️ we'll have to see later on in life. Thanks a bunch 🍻
Yes Sir, you should change your fuel filter frequently but you should just be able to hit the strainer in your oil tank with brake clean & compressed air rather than changing it out.
From all the testimonials I've heard from real loggers or Arborists, the grease holds more dust and dirt, leading to premature nose wear. My stihl bars don't even have a spot to grease the nose. 🤷♂️
Jack, looks like you’ve started uploaded more frequently, any particular reason why? Always good content, glad to see you’re going to get a little extra HP with the bar right side up
Well, when Chris from in the wood yard helped me with the beard video from bunyan, ( his idea, his concept, and he was my personal camera man) but he only agreed to help me if I started uploading more frequently. You know his answer is always more!!! Just keeping up with my end of the bargain. So now that I'm not working 16s 7 days a week I have a bit more time on the weekends for the next 3 months at least. So expect more from me, ill try and make them more exciting than the last 2 though... Yes definitely more hp!!!! 🤣
@ he’s good people, keep them coming I’m out with a broken leg at the moment so I’ll be watching all the uploads from our friendly community of wood nuts
@ building a garage about the size of your neighbors house going up, bailed off a ladder going down a little above the garage doors and landed hard. lol made it to the thirsty Thursday thanksgiving special while in the hospital bed on some decent pain killers though.
@nmancini Dang man. I was trashed at Brad's. I'm pretty sure you told us that. My apologies for my short term memory loss 🤣 well stay warm, and hydrated and I'll keep making videos for ya to watch while your healing up!!! Cheers to a speedy recovery!!!!

I pretty sure Sugihara makes Husqvarna bars. Looks good it definitely added some flare to the old saw!
Guess who makes Tsumara? Sugihara 🤣🤣 I was close🤷♂️ I had to good look, I knew it was one of them. Oh well thanks for the correction 🤜🤛
Jack, I've had my Stihl 044 for over 35 years and she's a beast for sure, but I never touched my carburetor setting ever. And it ran great year-round here in Rhode Island.
Once we put an Oem carb on it after i messed it up twice, I've had no issues. Super strong saw, love it!!!. Appreciate the information 💪💪

Love my 044! I had an 028 before as well.
The 44 is the best all around saw for what we do i feel
Nice looking saw I like that saw to awesome job brother
It's definitely still a strong saw, thanks Mike!!
Well done. I paint my screech that I use in the woods for the skidder so I don't loose it. I like my bar upside down so my up cuts are faster 😂
Lol, but you're not supposed to make up cuts!!! It will kick back 😱😱

Appreciate the kind words brother, hope you enjoyed it! 💪

I like them too, we all do things kinda the same but in our own ways. Thanks man🤜🤛

Grease the sprocket?
I dont grease the nose sprockets anymore. I let the bar oil do that.
Sweet job on the upkeep of the saws brother, I’m SLOWLY getting better at it. 🤘
Always gotta take care of what takes care of us!!!! When I'm busy, I neglect mine. I too need to get better 🤣🤣 thanks Sherman 🧡💙
@@LogCabinFirewoodI need to do a lot better job at maintaining my saws. You do an awesome job at maintaining those saws.
I wonder how many of us have our Dads (Grandpa’s) old saws. I have my dad’s 1st saw he ever bought. It was an old McCulloch with zero safety and a thumb oiler.
I'm sure alot of us do, following in our elders footsteps. Except now we have better tech to not have to work as hard as they did. 🍻
People love getting mad seeing a bar upside down. 😂
Thankfully most that watch me are actually chainsaw users, and they can understand my humor... most of the time 🤣 Appreciate you brother
Can't wait to see the responses to have the bar cut better right side up. lol !!!🤣
@@TimStout71 lol, i don't get as much haters as Matt, all you folks that watch me are always awesome 💪
Jack,maybe along the way you could get your grandpa’s chainsaw fixed up for when you get older 😮😊❤

Maybe Santa will bring you some new tools for that tool box!
Needed something for my chainsaw stuff, so it's getting filled with those things. Santa can bring me more stuff tho!!!! Thanks tom
Electronic Quickstop means it has Electronic ignition, ( no points/condenser), and a chain brake.
Right on, scotty. I appreciate that, I've never really looked much into it. That's cool to know though thanks ✌️
Nice maintenance video!! Like tge new Tsumara bar! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks, can't wait to get out and use it. I need some wood!!!!
Yes Sir, you should change your fuel filter frequently but you should just be able to hit the strainer in your oil tank with brake clean & compressed air rather than changing it out.
Right on, appreciate the suggestion, ill keep that in mind when I get to it thanks man 🍻
Probably just the farmer in me but if the manufacturer thought the oil would be enough they wouldn't make a grease hole
From all the testimonials I've heard from real loggers or Arborists, the grease holds more dust and dirt, leading to premature nose wear. My stihl bars don't even have a spot to grease the nose. 🤷♂️
