Honda makes four stroke trimmers. Smooth quiet and so easy to start. Only downside to them is they are a bit heavy.
Why am I just now seeing this!? Makes me wanna build a turbo-diesel chainsaw!
Do it💪🏼
Thanks for the clip, I definitely wont be buying one of those.
I honestly can’t recommend one🤦🏻♂️ if a big company with good engineers made one, maybe.
It idles like a champ. 2 strokes tend to score the cylinder. You can't beat the lubrication system of a 4 stroke.
There is an old saying, if it ain't broke don't fix it. These all seem to not rev up high like a 2 cycle so best advice I have is just use it and don't worry about it.
feel the power! lol its cool how different it sounds, definitely can tell it aint a two stroke with that buttery smooth idle. All it needs if high lift high duration cam, a high rise manifold, dual holly carbs and glass packs and you could cut the titanic in half in one fell swoop lol
We shall see
This thing starts up easily and has a ton of torque.
I would run either True Fuel or if you have a station, we have BP's where I live that sells ethanol free fuel. If the station you have that sells ethanol free fuel from a shared pump, make sure you run a bit into your vehicle first as there will be a bit of leftover fuel in the hose that has ethanol in it. Fortunately, the station I visit the ethanol free fuel is sold from a standalone pump. But ethanol just kills small engines. To me the extra cost is worth it to not have ethanol problems with my equipment.
I had to laugh Doug. You are just like me. You gotta see what makes it tick.
Yessir, I enjoyed that more than running the saw🤷🏻♂️
Mr. Doug. Yes to the skip chain. Bobe8888 eluded to the Stihl 4mix. Shindaiwa began training service techs in 2002 on the C4 hybrid technology that was sold to Stihl. The difference in the Shindaiwa/Echo/Stihl and the Sennix is an oil sump. A crankcase of sorts. The way the internals are lubricated. I am uploading the safety chain vid now (at night) like Kain said not to do. I did however LOAD the description....this was a great INDIANA DOUG production as usual.
Thanks. Looking forward to the video👍🏻
@@IndianaDoug It is grainy and some hill/woods billy talking but you will get the jist. You should get a notification I did an@INDIANA DOUG.
7:45 it’s not like there’s any money to be made… not when you only got 7k subs… but anyone with over 250k subs can make a full time living
Sub count doesn’t dictate income. Only watch time hours. But yes, that’s definitely some ppls goal on here. Just not mine.
I ALMOST bought this saw today at TSC, but remembered "4 stroke: one stroke to make power, the other three to wear out the engine" 😄 but seriously, like many others I am interested in longevity. AND I already have enough chainsaws...SAID NO MAN EVER 😆 Hope it lasts you a long time bro
No man ever, you know it😎
I have a 4 stroke Husqvarna 224L for 10 years. Still runs. Lol
@@cydonianman that model has Honda gx25 engine. Husqvarna never produces 4 stroke engines
Yamaha could design a better high compression 4 cycle chainsaw than that.
I’d hope so. That one came from China.
I don't see what is so funny, it's a small 4 stroke engine. Sounds better than a 2 stroke.
I was laughing in the video because it was the first time I’ve ran a 4 stroke chainsaw and it’s seemed really odd. Fun, but odd.
The sound 4 stroke chainsaws make are my new favourite thing ever since I saw the one from lidl
I hate it😆
Hey boss you know how to rewind or put the cord back mine handel broke an when i put it back in it pulls but wont wind back up would you know how ?
I’ve not messed with that part
Just watched it, very interesting to say the least. Looking forward to the video of it all tuned up.
Thanks, I’m looking forward to tuning it up👍🏻
wow, it's a real 4 stroke chainsaw. I know this saw is made in China, I used to work with this factory 11 years ago, it's unblievable they have made 4 stroke chainsaw now
and other 4 stroke lawn care equipment. This saw is not their first venture into 4 strokes. Actually it's their 2nd 4 stroke chainsaw. first was a 16" 46cc.
Have one. Swapped to forester 24 bar/full chisel chain combo. Thing is actually a torquey little beast. Hope it lasts, I totally dig it
Interesting. I’ll be messing with it more this summer.
How is your saw holding up long-term?
Its not going to pull a 24" bar
Great video..Thank you.. I just bought one and it looks like you had a hard time starting.. then @11:30 it says if you get one of these pour a little fuel in the jug.. not familier with that term "jug".. assuming you are refering to the carb.. also, it looked like you weren't able to get a smooth pull.. me either..to your knowledge, is this typical?? Thanks, Michigan Dave
Sorry, Midwest term for cylinder. I took the spark plug out and it was dry, indicating no fuel was getting to the cylinder. I squirted I little gas inside, put the plug back on, and it fired right up.
Hard yank is a no-no with this saw. It has a form of compression release, but takes a smooth pull to make everything work together.
Roll out the Pull until you feel the compression stroke. Then just give it a smooth pull. It should start on the first few attempts.
I think you better lean out the high jet ‘cause she’s four stroking,lol!
I was really hoping you did a muffler delete, definitely needs a bark box at the very least.
Sophisticated machine bro 👍 I'm happy to see it, even though it's not in the Indonesian market. Thank you for sharing🙏☺️
Thanks for viewing. I certainly like the 2 stroke machines better, but these are neat to toy with👍🏻
Do you know whats the valve lasj specs
No I don’t, sorry.
My saw won't start
Compression too high
Difficult to pull starter rope
does it have the power of a 2 cycle?
Decent torque but it’s no 2 stroke
Add a bigger cam, some longer rockers, and a high flow muffler lol
It sure needs something🤣
Old push rod design, very low rpm design so not much room for modification.
I'm going to try to convert a 2 stroke into oil injection with a one way valve.
Sounds like a Generator🤣🤣
how often do you have to change the motor oil?
Got me. I’ve only used that turd once
😂 yeah its as cute as a 6 week old puppy , straight pipe it 😂❤
yep sure she is 4 stroking in the timber alright
I Have The Exact Same Saw As U
Interesting little engine, thanks for showing us what’s under the hood! Have you learned how the crankcase is lubricated? Splash/slinger? I’d imagine it’s hard to make a viable pressure lubricated chainsaw engine considering it has to operate in various orientations.
Yep, oil slinger
so, how's doing now (a year later?) see one at menards at good clearance price. 10/9/22
For a few jobs per year around someone’s house, it’s fine. Runs completely fine
That thing is strange. Thanks for sharing!
🤣 I can’t get used to it👍🏻
That tree with that Burrell on it is worth a shit load of money
Curious as to how the oiling works when operating on it's side. Might account for the excessive valve lash.
Works fine. The saw has a - single direction oiling - system and works well on either side, nose high, tail high and even upside down in an extreme situation. (no saw should actually be run upside down for any length of time)
Cut nice but slow
Hey! That thing is four stroking!
Unfortunately, yes😒
Brian2bears has the copyright and patents on that phrase in Doug's community post.....
Sounds like it ain got ain't grunt,goofy toy saw 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’d be correct.
It actually did better than I expected. At least it sounds better than an electric saw😜 What kind of rpms you think she hit? That was fun, thanks Doug👍
I appreciate it. I bet it tops out at maybe 3500 rpm? I honestly don’t know but your typical mower engine is around that.
@@IndianaDoug definitely more rpms than that probably closer to 8-10K
@@robbyrob54 haaaa, the 4 cycle saw, definitely not buddy. I wish!
@@IndianaDoug Sorry Doug, you are incorrect. as received the saw runs around or just under 8K and is set fat(rich) After a break-in period a quick tune will get rid of most of the High Throttle governing sound and push the RPM up nicely. I've gone through about 4 cords of Oak and Black Walnut since buying mine at a close out of $86.
Typical of chainsaws, I've destroyed a few chains while finding metal in trunks and am about to need a new bar or good redressing from not keeping up with maintenance. All-in-all I feel I have recovered my investment.
@@crxess seriously? Could be shoot I don’t know. Thanks for the heads up though, that’s pretty crazy huh?🤣
👍 😁 Looking forward to the race version 🏁
We will see what I can get out of it! It’s gonna be a lot better, or a lot worse😄
awesome
bought one and need to replace the chain -- can you use one the oregon replacement chains? or does it have to be original senix? -- thanks
Any chain manufacturer is fine if it’s the correct specs.
thanks Doug@@IndianaDoug
Heart Broken today.
After almost a year as my go to saw for topping out, limbing and cutting rounds up to 18"-20" I had to bring the Senix home in a plastic crate. Chain decided to jump off twice in about 20 minutes of cutting. Both times sounded like a tail bind(sprocket area) then the chain whipped off the bar.
The second time, on inspection while preparing to reinstall the chain I noticed it had ridden hard right at the Oil Fitting side of the oil slot. Looks like it may have intrusion into the Oil Tank area.
Trying to figure out why it was throwing the chain to start with I checked and the Sprocket seems to have excess lateral movement.
If the Sprocket is almost against the Engine casing, the Brake is offset toward the crank case(not centered on the clutch).
If I lightly move the Sprocket outward it aligns exactly on around the clutch.*
* This position creates what I believe is an excess Between the 6 teeth and the Engine casing, and could allow the Drive links to slip into the under any side load condition.( Debris/small wood chunk, Cutting on the Low side.
I've sent a Service help request to Senix......... But not holding much hope for actual help.
No real parts listed online for repairs and no Decent Parts list comes with the saw.
Any Tips - Guidance getting this saw back to working right would be appreciated.
They’re made cheap, buy another one and have a parts saw, or buy something a bit better made, those are the best option imo. Best of luck👍🏻
@@IndianaDoug LOL - last thing I need right now is another Saw..

@@crxess we will leave out how many I have, lol. Never enough!!!
@@IndianaDoug Touching base on the Senix 49cc. Contacted Senix Support. They supplied me with a Complete Saw parts list/Diagrams and asked me to list what I needed and my purchase date.
The Saw literally broke on the 1yr mark, but what the heck - Try anything once.
I forwarded a copy of the Receipt, full Description of issue and Pics of damage along with a list of Parts I felt would be needed to repair.
I'm not greedy and comfortable doing the work myself so a Oil Pump/Worm Gear, Clutch complete and 4 screws sounded reasonable........ likely $10-15 China cost.
***SHOCK and SURPRISE
FREE - Brand New Senix 49cc 4-stroke arrives tomorrow!!!!****
I get to keep the original so I went shopping at AliExpress and all the parts to repair will be by the end of Oct. - LOL
Thanks for taking time responding, it helped Motivate me.
Next up - Convert the Salem Master 6220H to 3/8 Rim Sprocket and install a 24" Bar..... mostly to ease the Back bending.
Beast mode!!!!
Level 100!!!

good job broo
Thanks we’ll modify it one of these days👍🏻
My local tractor supply has the senix for $169. Thinking about getting one just to play with.
I’m by no means trying to take away from you buying local. But if you don’t buy from there you can get one here for $122 free shipping:

@@IndianaDoug I didn’t even think to look on amazon. I’ll see if TSC has one that was returned if not I’ll have Good old Jeffery send me one lol.
I feel bad suggesting it, but you know how that goes🤷🏻♂️ good luck Barry👍🏻
@@eurokid83 if you have a menards close to you I just bought one today for $179 with 11% rebate and a $60 rebate given in a store credit voucher so that brought it down to total of around $100
I do! But I’ve not seen one in mine. Maybe they’ll start carrying them soon.
it is neat aint it? im gettin a kick out of it too! lol
it is rather cute with the little rocker am assembly, and the thought of not having to mix gas makes it even better!
That's Crazy!
Thanks Dan
Gave my neighbor a nice Echo 2stroke, he didn't want it because he bought "the Senix". Lol. Some don't know and some know everything.
Wish him well with his New toy.
Thanks for your video.
Ouch🤣
Should’ve gave me the Echo I would’ve gave it a nice home in its very own spot in a heated garage where it can grow and play with other chainsaws
Next time no music
If it’s too loud, you’re too old😆🤣😆🤣
@@IndianaDoug when people want to seek for a engine sounds that is what we want no music dubbed over the original version
I know Ray, I’m just messing with ya buddy. I’ll make plenty more with no music. 👍🏻
Where does the engine oil go since it’s a 4 stroke
Crankcase
@@IndianaDoug thanks
light valve springs are better for super high rpms.
Well we’re rockin around 3500rpm on this one. Tbh, I don’t think there’s alot to be gained with mods. The carb is not good, the intake design is restrictive, plastic internals, and so on. If it was a more robust platform, perhaps…but I’m sure they wanted to shave off all the weight a 4 stroker provides. Uphill battle imo.
@@IndianaDoug 3500?? Negative on that. That's what lawn mower engines are governed to stock. I bought one to play with and it's running better than twice that.
Did you tach it? I was only assuming since most 4 strokes are 3500/4K tops. Let me know, my tach is broken.
@@IndianaDoug I haven't tached this, but I have an older 4 stroke trimmer that runs right around 7,000 and this definitely runs faster. When tractor supply had them, I think the site said either 8,500 or 9,000 if memory serves me right. Any more than that and you are in titanium valve territory.
@@IndianaDoug finally found the info. I guess it is set at 7,000 rpm. My mistake. I changed the plug to NGK, adjusted the carb and put a full comp chisel chain on it. The chain made a huge difference. With the torque, it's somewhat surprising how decent it cuts.
The only thing I can see worth doing with a four stroke is getting that thing to run as lean as you possibly can at the highest rpm’s you possibly can and won’t have to worry about blowing the thing up like a two stroke
I tried one of those this weekend. Pretty stupid definitely a homeowner saw
Hmm ok. I thought the 4 stroke weed whacker I was given was weird. Can you use this saw upside down and every which way like a 2 stroke?
Yes you can. There is no float bowl. Carb is much like one on a 2 stroke.
Better go to the election booth, and get a stronger senator, because that governor has it too choked back!
Does the owners manual give a break down of the saw? That could inform us on where we can “play a little”!
I like it🤣
Owner’s manual? I’m a man🤷🏻♂️
@@IndianaDoug now, now, I never said read it,🤣😂🤣😂, just look at the pic of the engine break down. None of us want anyone questioning our manhood obligations of winging it!🤣😂🤣😂👍👍
@@thesmallwoodlot433 truth!🤣 I’ll have a look in the trash can and see if it’s still there, just for you buddy👍🏻
@@IndianaDoug if not, the feed more, advance timing and make it 💨 😂😅😂,
If you do have the engine breakdown ( exploded view) and parts description, send me a pick and we will see if we can do something about that gov, then richen up fuel and open up exhaust!
Thanks for watching y’all👍🏻
