Hey Tinman-enjoy your video's! Bought an 026 new and that thing has cut a lot of wood here in Western N.C.! Sucker still gives me fits and has worn my arm(s) out more than once! Thanks for featuring nthe Stihl 026!
First thing happy birthday Charlie. Glad to see it running thanks for walking us through the issue it can be disheartening when you have an issue but turned out to be easy fix and it’s all part of the game thanks for taking us along on your journey. My two cents on next project pioneer would be a cool one to do
Been having fun watching since I picked up a ms260 from the south, which had been in a flood took awhile in the cleaning area, but once got it fired up she was running great but carb gave me too much grief, so been sitting for about yr or so, now I'm wanting to get back into it again. Thanks for the motivation!
I like how real your videos are. I restored 7 of those saws I got off eBay last year for the first time last year for the first time and none of them seem to work properly the first without some fidling
Such good information on that fuel line. Thanks for showing the problems. Looking forward to seeing it in the wood friend and how it sounds. Be nice to see it cut with 325 and 3/8 for comparison.
Dang... glad ya got er runnin. Good series for sure. I got one at an auction for $10. Top end was smoked. Put a new top on it and it ran good but every time i put it up for a bit and get it back out it gives me fits running again. That fuel line situation is a pain for sure. Have never been a fan of that kill switch set up either. When i do get it running tho she cuts for sure! Thanks Tin Man!!
Great Video Tinman !! You may have just solved an issue I've had with my old 49SP Jon'sy....she is hard to start, runs great for a minute or two then dies.... gotta check for pinched "new" fuel line brother!!! Thanks.... and yes, please enter me in the drawing for that sweet Ol' 026. God Bless!!!
The series has been informative, enjoyed every episode. I like the less edited version…..We learn from each other and when things don’t go as planned, we learn more about how to diagnose the problem. Great series 😊
Happy Birthday to the little one, Dam I ran into the same thing with the fuel line it drove me nutz too good nites sleep and change it just like you did cut up one for grommet and new line and boom baby 👍👍
Tinman i had an old 024 that i did a full rebuild on and had this same exact issue. I picked the saw up on and off for a long time trying to figure out the issue and finally found out the aftermarket fuel line was too long and didn’t allow that bend. I purchased a new oem fuel line for it and boom saw ran great! Glad you figured it out much quicker then i did! I might add the 024 and 026 share the same oem fuel line part number
Hey hey Tinman, great Oldman's saw proformance rebuild. Worked out good to show how some saws need some tweekin, that don't have to do with the work done. Happy Birthday to little Charlie🎉, she's going to grow up fast. Soak it all in. Thanks for your time and content...
I remember going to the local saw shop to buy one of these-they had just been discontinued. Walked out with a Husky 346xp instead,should have bought ten of them!! Learned my lesson and got a brand new 372 on the shelf that's never had gas or oil in it for when my other one burns up
Love the 026. Neighbor has one since new. Just needed a carb kit and the still dealer stripped it. Then called him and said $300 to put it back together. He brought it home in a box. I put it together for him and it rips and it’s nice and light. Enjoy your little one. My twin boys just turned 18. It goes by super fast.
Wow, great series! Interesting that there were the twists and turns along the way, just to be stymied by a simple gasoline tube. Kudos on figuring out the problem and solution.
Nice!!! Good to see it running!!! Sorting issues is the name of the game and you have figured it out. Can’t wait to see it in the wood!! Elm is a really hard wood. Happy Birthday Charlie!! 2 years flies Bud! Blink and she will be off to school, high school then university or college……
That old saw looks really nice. I would love to win a ported old saw! Keep up the good videos when you have time and not to neglect your daughter and wife!
I love the real life start up after the rebuild. Nice job Tinman as always. Happy Birthday to the young girl. They grow up super quick and it just seems to get faster as they get older. Stay safe my friend.
Wow, been 2 years already. Happy Birthday Charlie!! Time flys. Enjoyed the real time first start. The little things make this hobby fun, but not necessarily on the first start of a new build!
Tinman, I like how you say that the 026 was your first Pro saw, the saw you learned to wrench on, etc. My first saw was a 1994 026 as well. I bought mine new in 1994 at my local Hardware store. Of all the places to buy a saw, hammer drill, jack hammer etc, that store was the good old fashioned Service oriented good stuff. My 026 taught me more than just sawing as it got age on it. The MORE turned out to be diagnosing and narrowing down the issues of why it was hard starting, poor running, and just like you did in this clip, I found the trouble was 20+ year old gummed up fuel lines. In a round about way, that saw brought me to you as I never stop learning even at 60 years and counting.
I’m glad you showed the mistakes an fixes. Glad it wasn’t all edited out. You’re right about the time spent with your kid, you can’t get time back, spend as much as you can with her.👍🏻
Your daughter is 2 ! My granddaughter is 15 months! What an absolute joy they are! Life is just a joy! Our little people make it easier to deal with the day to day! Ellie just makes me smile! Pretty cool saw you built!
Nice start up tinman sounds nice I think a new air filter is required loved watching your build great to see it running can’t wait to see it in the wood.
I walked into my Stihl dealer knowing Id buy an 026. Got talked into an 036 (which I LOVE) - but my heart still wants an 024/026/260. Love the simple muffler mod, this saw sounds like a great work saw. All the best Tinman 👍
I love the way you do your builds. The 026 is one of my favorite saws. It brings back memories of growing up cutting wood with my father. Thank you for sharing your nolage with everyone.
Tinman I would like to see the tachometer readings after she's been in some cuts. The build sure seems to be stout. I've enjoyed this series of your work, Thanks' for the effort.
I am a fan of your vids. Solid content, no fluffy editing. It's nice to see you post your failures, we're all human! I'm now inspired to build my own of I don't win yours!
Really digging this series Tinman!! I appreciate that you show us what we already know and experience which is the trials, tribulations, and struggles of any project. Your perseverance is much appreciated!!
This was very informative. I, too, like to take a break from a project that is not going well. It's amazing how a good night's sleep can sort things out. Thanks for the video.
I have an old red trigger 026 apart right now. The OEM piston reads April 94 I believe. Kind of worrying that an OEM fuel line was causing your saw not to run. I definitely don't do this enough to realize something like that, I'd always rule out new OEM parts as causing a problem. I really appreciate your videos, they are guiding me through the process. Also wanted to mention that my stock muffler has 4 holes in it. Not sure if that is a pre-epa thing.
Enjoy every second with your girl they grow up so fast, mine are all grown up it seems like I turn around once and they were grown. Like the non edited video and seeing you work through the issues, a lot of good information.
Enjoy that little girl while you can. Soon she'll be a big girl and you'll wonder where the time went. I remember my little girl's 2nd birthday like it was yesterday and she is now 37! I've been following your channel for about a year and now feel like I'm ready to take the plunge on two Stihls, an 034 and an 031.
Thanks for a truly instructive video! I appreciate your methodical approach to troubleshooting the problems. That will make a great firewood saw! Happy birthday to your daughter. I have wonderful memories of my two daughters at your daughter's age.
Happy Birthday Charlie! Wow, 2 years already. Seems not to long ago I saw you Tinman and your lovely wife like at 8 months when you met Buckin for the first time. That saw sounds really good, a lot of power. She runs, but does she cut? Can't wait!
Legend! Tinman your videos have been really Awesome and down to earth.ive gain'd a whole new perspective on "Air flow" with my saws after watching your porting series.Have currently done 2 of my Stihl MS066's baised on the way you do your saws and super happy with the Results they sound Amazing and wicked to Run!!! Cheers 👊
First time viewing, and, enjoyed the honesty. I have my 026 setting on the bench now, guess I'd better look at it now and figure out what's up!!?? Thanx.
I like the non edited raw startup, no tricks or gimmicks and the issues weren’t covered up. Great job
Hello my friend 👍♥️
me too...👋👋👋
Me three😁👍🏻
@@martyrutter3630 same to you
I used to have an 026 but gave it to a friend who needed one. Really loved that saw!
Thank you for letting the camera roll. Helps with my thoughts.

Love being in your shop with you, mate. Coming out of winter here in Western Australia
I’m becoming a saw nerd and you my friend are really helping. Thanks for sharing this project with us. I’m gonna have to rebuild one as well!

Happy birthday. I remember with my daughter. Time zooms by.
Nice work tinman! I'm looking forward to seeing it in the wood.

Nice running saw, it would cut the wood for sure.Great channel,learn lots.
Congratulations on your 2 year old! ❤
Here’s my plug from an old dad that you won’t regret having another kid ❤❤❤
Hey Tinman, great video series as always. Thank you. Happy birthday to Charlie, and God bless
Great Video Tinman !! You may have just solved an issue I've had with my old 49SP Jon'sy....she is hard to start, runs great for a minute or two then dies.... gotta check for pinched "new" fuel line brother!!! Thanks.... and yes, please enter me in the drawing for that sweet Ol' 026. God Bless!!!
I appreciate that you were transparent about the issues and didn't let your ego get in the way.
nice saw have one barely used by a friend that passed , for the weight it is a great firewood saw
Your little girl is going to grow up quick! Enjoy it while you can! Had my first and only at 42......It wasn't easy but it was well worth it!
The series has been informative, enjoyed every episode. I like the less edited version…..We learn from each other and when things don’t go as planned, we learn more about how to diagnose the problem. Great series 😊
Happy Birthday to the little one, Dam I ran into the same thing with the fuel line it drove me nutz too good nites sleep and change it just like you did cut up one for grommet and new line and boom baby 👍👍
Great work on that saw!
Those air screws can be frustrating! 🙂
Tinman i had an old 024 that i did a full rebuild on and had this same exact issue. I picked the saw up on and off for a long time trying to figure out the issue and finally found out the aftermarket fuel line was too long and didn’t allow that bend. I purchased a new oem fuel line for it and boom saw ran great! Glad you figured it out much quicker then i did! I might add the 024 and 026 share the same oem fuel line part number
Good idea about using regular fuel line through an old fuel line grommet! I'll have to remember that!
Hey hey Tinman, great Oldman's saw proformance rebuild. Worked out good to show how some saws need some tweekin, that don't have to do with the work done. Happy Birthday to little Charlie🎉, she's going to grow up fast. Soak it all in. Thanks for your time and content...
I recommend leaving most of the carbon coating in the muffler. It insulates the saw and stops the muffler rusting out.
I remember going to the local saw shop to buy one of these-they had just been discontinued. Walked out with a Husky 346xp instead,should have bought ten of them!! Learned my lesson and got a brand new 372 on the shelf that's never had gas or oil in it for when my other one burns up
gotta love the stihls they are always a challenge to work on.
Love the 026. Neighbor has one since new. Just needed a carb kit and the still dealer stripped it. Then called him and said $300 to put it back together. He brought it home in a box.

Real nice saw Tinman Great job!
That old saw looks really nice. I would love to win a ported old saw!
Keep up the good videos when you have time and not to neglect your daughter and wife!
I love the real life start up after the rebuild. Nice job Tinman as always. Happy Birthday to the young girl. They grow up super quick and it just seems to get faster as they get older. Stay safe my friend.
Really appreciate the trouble-shooting process - that's where the learning takes place! Saw sounds and looks to be a 'ripper'! Nice work Tinman!
Great job with the work around on the fuel line!!
Great video just goes to show we are always learning in life well done timan
Wow, been 2 years already. Happy Birthday Charlie!! Time flys.
Enjoyed the real time first start. The little things make this hobby fun, but not necessarily on the first start of a new build!
Love how that sounds. I would love to have that. Awesome job. That was a great video series. Cheers
Glad to see it running! Muffler mod sounds great!
Nice job! I also love the echo Fuel line. Good stuff!
Happy Birthday Charlie.
Thank you for another good video.
I hope you and the family are having a good week.
I sure wish you congrats on your 1st 2 years with Charli. That is an awesome way to start this clip.

What a great saw! Thanks for sharing!
Nice start up tinman sounds nice I think a new air filter is required loved watching your build great to see it running can’t wait to see it in the wood.
Fine looking powersaw.
Family first, good man❤
I walked into my Stihl dealer knowing Id buy an 026. Got talked into an 036 (which I LOVE) - but my heart still wants an 024/026/260. Love the simple muffler mod, this saw sounds like a great work saw. All the best Tinman 👍
036 is a much better saw. The choke is built into the air filter on the 026 but it’s in the carb on an 036 which is a much better design.
I love the way you do your builds. The 026 is one of my favorite saws. It brings back memories of growing up cutting wood with my father. Thank you for sharing your nolage with everyone.
Thanks so much for the content. Recently got into working on saws and content like this helps me learn new things.
Tinman I would like to see the tachometer readings after she's been in some cuts. The build sure seems to be stout. I've enjoyed this series of your work, Thanks' for the effort.
Nice work! I hope someone who needs it gets it👍
I am a fan of your vids. Solid content, no fluffy editing. It's nice to see you post your failures, we're all human! I'm now inspired to build my own of I don't win yours!

Thanks for the video Tin man gotta love the little things
Learned a lot from this series lots of great information
Been there, sometimes it’s the simplest things that bite you. Good to see it run
This was very informative. I, too, like to take a break from a project that is not going well. It's amazing how a good night's sleep can sort things out. Thanks for the video.
Looks like it will be a good ripper! Wood cutting season is coming soon. It's time to put that 026 to work!
Happy birthday Charlie. Cant wait to see it in the wood.
You are the definition of "real", my friend! Thank you!👍💪
Another great build tinman! I hope to build one of that quality some day.
Pretty awesome! Can’t believe your kiddo is already 2!!!
Love this little saw! Thinking I finally need to add a Stihl back to my fleet!
Happy birthday Missy
I have an old red trigger 026 apart right now. The OEM piston reads April 94 I believe.
Kind of worrying that an OEM fuel line was causing your saw not to run. I definitely don't do this enough to realize something like that, I'd always rule out new OEM parts as causing a problem.
I really appreciate your videos, they are guiding me through the process.
Also wanted to mention that my stock muffler has 4 holes in it. Not sure if that is a pre-epa thing.
Thanks for your videos. I enjoy watching you work your magic!
Happy Birthday Charlie !!!
Cruize is right on her heels for turning 2 haha ! Morning Tinman 😊
Enjoy every second with your girl they grow up so fast, mine are all grown up it seems like I turn around once and they were grown. Like the non edited video and seeing you work through the issues, a lot of good information.
Happy birthday to your little person , enjoyed this series . Looking forward to the next.
Great raw video of actual problems and fixed. Good job! great running little saw 👍
Tinman I always love to enjoy watching your videos cause I learn something new each time. Also love the tear downs & reassemble videos on Husky saws.
Someone’s going to be a very happy camper when they receive that saw! Good job as always tinman
Thanks for being straight up with your videos tin man...
Enjoy that little girl while you can. Soon she'll be a big girl and you'll wonder where the time went. I remember my little girl's 2nd birthday like it was yesterday and she is now 37!

Hell yeah sounds good buddy!👌 can’t wait to see it in timber mate💪 the ol fuel line kink😉 gets ya everytime🤦♂️
I really like the 026 saws just picked one up for my first saw. Keep up the good work tinman really like the vids.
Nicely built saw. Sounds amazing. Would like to see it work. I would stick with the .325 chain.
Way to keep cool and see it through....nice work Tinman
Thanks for sharing your time and talents. I enjoyed this series.
Enjoyed this one tinman. Just love it that you share your knowledge to make us all better saw builders.👍👍👍
Happy Birthday Charlie! Wow, 2 years already. Seems not to long ago I saw you Tinman and your lovely wife like at 8 months when you met Buckin for the first time. That saw sounds really good, a lot of power. She runs, but does she cut? Can't wait!

Nice saw you did a awesome job good on ya
Little ones don't stay little for long!! make the most of it! saws great too👍
First time viewing, and, enjoyed the honesty. I have my 026 setting on the bench now, guess I'd better look at it now and figure out what's up!!?? Thanx.
Happy Birthday Charlie. Maybe your daddy will give us some Evo quad cam, timing learning some day.
Happy Birthday to the little one🎉
It is a really interesting build! I hope it is a monster! Your builds are amezing :)
Awesome job. Great advice to not jump to conclusions. Think things through, and follow what the saw is telling you. Best series ever ! Thanks Tinman
