Absolutely Stellar!

I enjoyed the video immensely and saved it for my husband. We have a MS291, and cut and stack up to 3 cords of wood per year. I don't think he has ever done such a thorough cleaning, but we will practice on an old smaller Stihl a neighbor sold us for $20. Doesn't run right, so we can't mess it up too bad, I hope.

I've rebuilt two chain saws out of desperation. This video is awesome in how organized the process is presented. Sure wish I had seen this before.

Wonderful instructional video! Demonstration of compression and vacuum tests, as well as use of vegetable oil were especially informative. I learned the proper use of a business card to gap the coil on lawn mower engines when I was about 10 years; works perfectly on all small engines. I have a Stihl 028 Super, purchased in 1980 and used 8 to 10 hours a day, six or seven days a week for high production precommercial thinning, for 4 years. Has been a reliable wood and brush cutter ever since and starts up on a few easy pulls to this day. My regimen: Clean the saw, touch up the chain and adjust carb every few hours of operation; a sharp chain puts optimum load on the engine and reduces engine/chain parts hours for a given amount of production; proper carb adjustment keeps combustion chamber cool and reduces internal carbon build-up; disassemble, clean and re-kit the carburetor periodically. Other parts as needed. Old Stihls seem to run forever if properly maintained!

The commentary is great. Most vids like this have none.

Absolutely great job stripping it down, cleaning and reassembling it again. It was a lot of work, but how good does it look after you had finished.
-
This chainsaw lasted 20 years. That’s amazing. I’m impressed.
-
My Husq 365 just packed it in after almost 30 years of reliable service. I bought a brand new one to console my grief. The Stihl you are working on didn't get a lot of care, as soon as you gave it a pull I knew it would be a runner. Great job!
-
A really great, well detailed video. Thanks for doing a wonderful job of explaining everything involved. I would like to add one important thing I tell people which is to let the saw warm up for a bit before full RPMs .This keeps the aluminum piston from expanding faster than the cast cylinder thus scoring it. All my 3 chainsaws came to me free from people who did'nt know this.

Most comprehensive rehap/rebuild of a chainsaw I've ever seen, thanks!
-
Now it’s time to say congratulations on a remarkable transformation of this old machine. I have never owned or used a chainsaw so I don’t know why I watched the whole video. I guess it was almost hypnotic. I’m certainly impressed that he managed to put everything back together successfully.

Awesome job rebuilding this saw. You did a fantastic job
-
My God you did such a beautiful job on that old boy I would put it in a glass case in my living room and let people come look at it.That was for sure not your first rodeo. Great job. 😀 ADD: Many moons ago as a younger man we cut and sold wood to the tourists for firewood. Very first thing we did upon returning home was to clean the chain saw. Bar off chain was set aside to sharpen and we just used gasoline to get her cleaned. Better stuff now but gas worked just fine. Gave it a pretty good cleaning then fuel and oil and ready for the next day. Weekend was deep cleaning day if we were not working. We cared for our saws and they never let us down. Stihl saws like a diesel locomotive they just keep chugging. 👍

Impressing job. Professional recording and editing! Thank you
-
I live in an area where chainsaw use is quite common, and what I can tell you is that NO ONE cleans their chainsaw after each use. More like once a year after hurricane season is over. Doesn't seem to faze the Stihl saws one bit.
-
Good job, I have the same saw, now I will tackle its strip down with confidence. Thank you Sir.🎉
-
Best rebuild and clean video on YouTube. Looks like new. Well done.
-
I don’t have a Stihl…but the presentation pulled me in, almost therapeutic. Great renovation job too.
-
I am amazed. You remind me of me. A perfectionist. No shortcuts, no BS. I love it ! Great job. That chainsaw is perfect, like new. Great job. I'm really impressed. I thought folks like you and I had become obsolete.

Outstanding and thorough demonstration embedded with a number of DO NOTS. Well Done
