I can't begin to imagine how many hours of work went into making this video.
How you managed to get the camera in so close whilst also repairing the saw is nothing less than brilliant.
You certainly don't do things by halves Tom. Well done.

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

I really appreciate it! It took many days lol I’m really pleased you enjoyed it!!

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

I like the de-magnetizing. Good work Tom!

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Thanks Kenny! I’ll do a video on it soon :)

[@em4703]

An older, good running chainsaw has something special over a brand new shinny one out the box. Bumps and scratches in some tools really do give them character.

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

I agree completely!

[@richiebraz]

Great video and well done for saving the saw!

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Thank you!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

That video said so much wothout saying a word. I really enjoyed it!

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Thanks so much Scott, I wanted to try something a little different, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@williammcilrath9828]

there you have it folks another excellant video thanks BILL

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Thank you! Much appreciated :)

[@TheLawnmowerLady]

Brilliant Tom! Someone liked some Dirko, LOL. That carb looked remarkably clean. Nice trick with the demagnetizer on that spring. Replacement carb you reckon?

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Thank you Stella!!

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

I believe that Dirko was from the factory! That’s an original C1Q carb too :) we don’t have ethanol out here so although they may build up varnished fuel, more often than not they’re very clean like this!

[@jimbrewer2893]

Stella, thought the same thing about the Dirko.

[@guymansford7123]

Well done Tom, beautifully done and very restful.

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Thank you! Something very different to my normal content, I’m pleased you enjoyed it!

[@GuysPlayingWithTools]

@@VintageEngineRepairs It was art. I am surprised you didn't go black and white. 🙂

[@theophrastusbombastus2404]

Great video and perfekt job! THATS really professional work!

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Thank you! Much appreciated :)

[@mr1pearl]

And not one word soooo I got creative and opened up a second page TH-cam of course and looked up rainy day songs first one was Rainy Day Dream Away Jimi Hendrix then I found Rainy Night In Georgia Randy Crawford and the last one was of course Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head B. J. Thomas ! 👍 Good one Tom ✌

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Haha thanks Bill 😂

[@simonilett998]

Nice one Tom. That cleaned up very nicely.
I must say, that looked suspiciously similar to an MS230C I just fixed up for a customer a couple of weeks ago.
Unfortunitely the 290 is still sitting here, next to his MS391 which has been waiting nearly 5 weeks for a new fuel hose to come in from Stihl🤣🤷‍♂️

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Nice Simon! Yeah I hate waiting on parts haha. Thanks for watching :)

[@williamemerson1799]

You da man! 👍🍻

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Thanks William :)

[@BalGo89]

Great work Tom! I love watching your videos. May I ask what is that material that you cut the gasket out of?

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Thank you! It’s actually just called gasket sheets or oil jointing sheets. I prefer oil jointing sheets honestly.

[@ethandilbeck8173]

This is an old ms 250 C-B made them in the early 2000’s

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Ms 230. Thanks for watching.

[@patrickwhalen4781]

5:03 What blue grease/lubricant are you using for seal install?

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Hey :) it’s just standard bearing grease! The seals are nitrile so withstand petroleum greases unlike rubber o-rings or rubber seals that require silicone or vegetable based greases / oils.

[@bryanrose20]

Is that gasket maker on the main bearings??

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

No, it’s around the pocket for the oil seal.

[@UpInSmoke54]

What are you using to block the intake boot? Is that homemade?

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Yes! Just rubber inner tube to seal it :)

[@UpInSmoke54]

Look like a condom!🤣

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

LOL I’m wondering if we’re looking at two different things haha

[@UpInSmoke54]

@@VintageEngineRepairs 1:53 look here

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

@@UpInSmoke54 oh HA!! That is a latex glove over a cork!! That’s hilarious 🤣

[@leog7821]

8:39 take a new one...

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Nothing wrong with the sprocket or bearing

[@breannaoliver6316]

Me gusto su video por que no habla. Estas mudo?

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Na, I just tried something different called ASMR
