The "secret code" made me laugh. I still hand write my work orders at the tree company (2 days a week). The new girl in the office said oh, you write in cursive like my Mom. Honestly, if her Mom didn't still write in cursive, I would have had to "print" the work orders for her. It's like the theft deterrent vehicles with manual transmissions. BTW I haven't seen a metering lever worn that bad in a while.
At 9:54 in the video Scott says "I'm going to take the high and low jets out of here, and I'm going to blow some carb cleaner through them". Aye, this bring back fond memories of rebuilding my Walbro WYK-353 rotary carburetor from my Shindaiwa C242 brushcutter. After removing the Hi-Jet needle, I aggressively blew in pressurized carb cleaner and heard a pop and then the sound of something small landing in a pile of brown leaves (working outside). What the heck was that? Well I learned more than I wanted to about yet another carburetor part, and I hade to order the replacement jet kit, which set me back one week of getting back to weed-eating.
I have worked on a few of these 55 models for friends and they are a sweet saw. I ended up getting a really nice shape 51 locally and it is a great saw. Thanks for sharing! Laaaaaater!
Love that letter ❤️🤟 also the irony 💪🤣 off explained how we all are just men and sometimes fingers put up a fight 😂 just me alone took some 3 Days to pull clutch assembly and get it in 🤭😂 didn't use power tools
I have a 55 in sweet shape like that one. I use it a ton actually. Haven't seen needle metering deal that worn in some time! Good repair see ya next time!
A clean saw to work on is nice. It blows my mind how people drop off these filthy saws or equipment to be repaired. If I bring my vehicle in for service or repair I wash the engine Bay area so they have a clean engine to work on. I also want them to be able easily see anything wrong.

@@richardflagg3084 I'm starting to see some writing that is kind of a blend between print and cursive. It will be gone someday.

Yep, hi pressure and carbs don't mix well all the time.
those buckets of carburetors are awesome
@jamiewykes8585 LOL they can be handy.
I have a old model 55.Good to know they are two different Cab
@@DavidSmith-qg4dd Thanks for watching!
Secret code! So true! Thanks for the video Scott!P.S. My jaw dropped when you busted out that 5 gallon bucket of carbs.

@@skater4life31683 Thanks for watching!
55 are getting hard to find in good condition, glad you could fix it.
Agreed. This is a nice example.
Another great fix, Scott 👍🏼. This one took a little bit more to repair. Luckily you had the donor saw.
@@wayneberry8703 Thanks for watching!
Excellent fix Scott...! I just ordered one of your carb stands and expect it Friday. Good to know it works on it's side also! LOL
Thanks for supporting the channel!
Wicked repair Scott, thanks for keeping the old girl alive!!
@johnclarke8180 They might be a bit porky by todays standards but they sure were durable.
I’m Glad I’m Not The Only One That Has Boxes and Buckets of Carbs too Use as Rebuildable Cores and Extra Parts 😀😊 Excellent Repair Brother 😊😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Sometimes it pays to keep that old stuff around. I'm still surprised I didn't have the one I needed in those two buckets.

@@DeLaLosPedros It doesn't help that we're not getting any younger.
Nice repair Scott. I still have an old 55 like that. They were/are really good farm & ranch saws when they are sharp and running good. Laaaaaaater

@@1966poker It seems a lot more people feel entitled these days.
Holy cow that was a lotta carbs! Do you sell any of them?
Nope. I just use them for spare parts.
