I heat with wood and everything I know about chainsaws I’ve learned on UA-cam. I think I’ve watched nearly every UA-cam on carb adjustments. This is hands down the best video by far! You are an excellent teacher! Thank you!
I guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Augustine Huxley i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I HAVE BEEN TINMANIZED!!! PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR TV's AND TURN ON TINMAN'S INSPIRATIONAL TUTORIAL VIDEOS. JUST AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF VALUABLE detailed INFORMATION IN EVERY VIDEO. WHAT A FREE EDUCATION WE ARE RESEAVING!!!
This is the best practical demonstation and explanation of how and why to make carburettor adjustments. So many others have failed at describing it, but you nailed it. Well done!
This is the exact way to tune a carb. I was taught the same way back in 1979. Been working for me since then and for my Dad decades before that. You can feel when it’s right when you’re in the cut, also the sound tells you. Great job Tinman!
I been tuning saws for 45 years but I have never seen such a good explanation of what you are trying to do what a help for people just getting in to saws this is the gold standard for saw tuning this is going help alot of people Thank you next can you take the next step and show what the plug looks like if you get your jets right and your favorite oil mix
I love watching Tinman's videos over and over again. So much detailed information, just amazing. What a humble man. Great educator and very articulate in his explanations!!!
Recently got into power saws as we heat our home with wood. I knew nothing until I watched Tinnman. Now, i have confidence to adjust, work on, & mod my saw. Thank you for your sharing ypur knowledge and producing quality content.
What a great video. I grew up with wood heat and have heated with wood primarily my entire life (70 years) and still do, so obviously I have had thousands of hours with a chainsaw in my hands. I currently have 6 or 7 saws, from 6.5 HP Neo Tec NS 8105 with 36" bar all the way down to 14" trim saws, various brands. I still learned some things here. I was having a little trouble adjusting the carb on my ECHO CS 310 yesterday and I got it running much better, but I didn't know you should adjust for when it is under load and a little blubber is good when not under load. Makes prefect sense and you demonstrated it perfectly. Liked and subscribed. Great job sir. Thank you.
I've learned a lot by watching your videos, this subject was really helpful. I love running chainsaw and I love the history behind them. I always like to learn more, thank you for taking the time to post this and share your knowledge. You're a great teacher, thanks Tinman
THE BEST video on tuning a chainsaw. I have watched multiple videos, and this by far has been the most helpful, especially at EXPLAINING 4-stroking!!! Thank you Sir!!!
Bro you have made the best tuning video I’ve ever seen, you gave great instruction and explanations of what you were doing were perfect! Furthermore I’ve never heard anyone else explained 4stroking and I absolutely loved your trick to hear it when lifting from the wood…made it very obvious and easy to hear! I’m amazed how much better your video is then rest, DAMN GOOD VIDEO BRO!!!!
You just made it look so easy. Once again you have showed us that it’s not really hard to get the saw running properly. Thank you sir sure glad I found your channel 👍
Excellent and clear demonstration. I can honestly say that I was mostly in the dark tuning my high jet, before your vids. I had a tach to go by. I don't use it anymore. I listen for the high end gurgle.
Thank GOD for you making this video. I thought I had my Husky 268XP tuned too rich but I’m gonna leave it where it is and just adjust my idle. LOVE THE CONTENT!!!!!!!!
This is the very BEST tuning tutorial I've ever seen Tinman. You're very experienced but humble, and have a great gift for clearly explaining things. I really enjoyed this video. It deserves 30 times the views.
Another perfect video Tinman 👏👏👏 Finally I understand how to tune my saws, as I was doing it wrong all the time, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with all of as here!!!! Stay safe, God bless you all!!!!💪👊
I have needed this for a while now with some big boy saws. They keep running funny from time with different bars, woods, temps, etc. excellent video. I am going to watch it again and again. thx brother.
Very much appreciated finding this video. You are the first(I have found) that actually not only explained 4-Stroking, but took the time to Present the Chainsaw under the condition. I've become comfortable with Tweaking the Carburetors on my saws to find good response and decent top RPM - and I always back off a little to avoid Lean running, but I never knew the saw would tell me where it is happiest. My tweaking experience comes from mostly picking up used Saws Cheap, that almost always have fuel line/Carburetor issues. I have found, as I purchase new (Less Expensive) Chainsaws that they almost always need Adjustment after a break-in period to get better overall performance. The knowledge you share makes things much easier to understand and correct! Thank you!
I'm sure someone else actually explained four stroking but your explanation is the first that I remember. That's what I know...that's how I do it...works for me. Excellent.
Awesome video Tinman!! Im getting my first ported saw and I've never really messed with turning the carb on my stock saw, just kinda ran it where it was set from the factory. This is exactly what I needed to help me understand how it all works, great explanations. Thanks for sharing, take care-TC
The absolute best video on tuning a chainsaw thank you so much for sharing your wisdom also just wanted to mention a reason that the Saw may run fast is because of the throttle lever getting stuck mine was pinned open stuck and it was really scary trying to tune my chainsaw got it figured out but man what a wrench thrown into that process
Excellent how to video. Altitude plays a big role too, for example I live at 2400 ft but I do most of my cutting at 6200ft so my saw runs very rich at my house but its spot on when I'm on the mountain. Thanks for making this video.
Good video. There are a couple things I'd add. The last thing you should tune is the H needle. WOT is a combination of the fuel from both the L and the H needles. What you do to the L has an affect on WOT tuning. Also, tuning is most likely to change when you re-install the filter cover. It'll probably be richer with the cover installed. The struggle is real in getting on those needles though, lol :)
Agree that he needed to recheck the high jet after adjusting the low, and I agree about the change after reinstalling the cover, if the cover restricts enough air flow. He probably could hear that the H was still good though. You also have a very good grasp of 2 stroke carb. adj..
I moved into a home with a wood stove and I just found a new fascination with saws. Repairing them, just for fun. I own a homelite 240, old school saw that absolutely rips! So cool to have found your channel. Thanks for sharing and definitely learning from you.
Awesome video. I'm just getting into chainsaws and to have you explain what each setting sounds like is huge (since I have no idea haha). Thanks so much Tinman!
When I started using saws, I was used to tuning motorcycle carbs so tuned it until it had no four stroke on top because I thought it made the saw run smoother. Only recently I learnt that you need to rich it a little bit and have that four stroke so you won't burn your saws. I'm tuning it better nowadays because of videos like yours and thankfully I haven't burnt any saws all those times I did it wrongly because I never used them heavily
Timing I have started working on 2 strokes bout 4 years ago after I had a stroke and couldn't keep up the pace in a large autobody shop . I have listened to all the big saw guys out there bout carb tuning, Iron horse,Bellhopper,Buckin Billy Ray, Steve's Saloon, Fleet Command. It has never been simplified and step by step as you have explained it so thoroughly as you have. I've just started to get into the porting stages of my career and I'm so glad I ran across your channel. I will be enjoying your videos and your library for a long time. This is Byron and I thank you.
Thanks Tinman! I was messing around with my ported 372 today and something just wasn’t right with it. Now I can at least sorta know what I’m doing and what to look for so I don’t hurt the saw! You’re awesome buddy!
I'm new to chainsaws and what i like about your video is that the process is straightforward and understandable, adjusting and allowing us to hear the sounds understand what the adjustment is actually doing. I have a carb adjustment toolkit coming in and i'll give it a try and try and get things dialed in well enough. I only do a few tree's a year and low jet is likely a bit rich as it is idling a bit low with stalling at times, and some stumbling/hesitation on pulling the trigger. I'll try leaning it out (1/8 to 1/4 turn clockwise) till i find that sweet spot. Update: Tool set came in and adjusted it in just a few minutes, was the low jet (L) as i thought from watching your video. I turned the L screw all the way clockwise, then set it 1.5 turns counterclockwise open. From there toggle the screw 1/8 to 1/4 turn each direction and found 1/8 clockwise (lean) from the initial setup was perfect. Chainsaw no longer stalls or bogs down on initial trigger pull, and an added bonus it starts on second pull of the starter rope whereas prior it took 10-12 pulls and then would idle poorly and stall. Appreciate Tinman for giving me the knowledge and confidence to take on this task, saves me time and money as i don't have to take it in for adjustment and with the toolset (specialty screwdriver bits, Amazon, $24) i can adjust my chainsaw from time to time as the temperature and barometric pressure changes. My chainsaw took a PACMAN bit as like many small equipment carburetors today they do not use a standard bit to ensure people do not adjust their own equipment due to pollution mandates. So if you have a newer chainsaw you might have to purchase a 2 cycle carb adjustment tool set, Amazon is awesome for that and a 10 bit set is $24.
Thanks Tinman. Just what I was looking for. I'm using this info to get the best out of my new saws, an Echo CS620PW 27" and a Holzfforma G660 PRO 36". I'm very impressed with it.
Excellent and you covered all the theories perfectly. I run ALL MY SAWS a bit RICH just like you here to keep them from burning a hole in the piston. I like how you show how it works in wood and how to test your settings. I was taught by a Logger back in the '70's and I've never burned a piston and still have that first Homelite XL550 from those days and it still runs...NO SAFETY FEATURES what so ever so I don't use it but it still runs.
this video is without a doubt the best carb tuning vid out there easy to understand special note to anyone reading this comment the instructions on adj high jet till it 4 strokes when pulled out of cut is key here thats what i could never get right until now so now im not afraid of making it to lean thank you very much great vid
This is Definetly the BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN ON TUNING A CARB ! Only thing you might have to do is remove the limiter caps on the carb if they have them and your limited on the adjustments.
Great demo Tinman. Like you said not all saws are the same but 1 1/4 out is always a good baseline to tune it your way. Elevation, temperature, mix used, if the saw is warmed up or not, what saw your using etc. Lot of factors. I have seen all kinds of crazy settings from 3/4 out to up to 3 turns out to make them start/run right.
First time viewer but after this video a new subscriber! Great video brother...! I appreciate your knowledge and the sharing of it. By far the best carb adjustment video I've seen. This is pretty much how I adjust my carbs but what I really learned was the four stroking at the high end and cleaning up in the cut. I haven't been doing that but will be going forward. Appreciate the camera work... don't know how y'all do it. It's all I can do to adjust a carb, run a saw, and cut wood I'll leave the camera work to y'all.
Well, I cut about 20 cords a year...i do my own maintenance and tuning...I follow the specs for every chainsaw...And i use a tachometer...But you can watch all the vids you want on tuning and its never seems to work....even with a tachometer i do a log test...And every time my high is off...So on my log test i adjust the high while the chainsaw is in action and has a load on it....And this guy is doing it all right....one of the best vids iv seen so far...though i do my adjustment while cutting to get the best performance..this guy pretty much does the same thing..its the best way...great vid
Great video and some awesome info. Now I know more than what I did before watching. I have just started tinkering with some saws within the last month or so and I am always looking for great info to help with them. Great video.👍
Thanks for this video tinman. I wish i would’ve seen this sooner. I’ve been trying to learn carb tuning but i dont wanna burn a saw up learning 😂 this helps alot. Thanks tinman 🤙🏼
Been looking for a video like this for some time now. I appreciate the description of 4-stroking as well as the demo on how to actually adjust the carb. My saw is bogging on the throttle and needs attention.
Excellent demonstrastion! I just unboxed an Echo 7310P a couple of days ago first run yesterday on a giant red oak with very sound wood. Even with the 32" bar fully buried and aggressise chain, it 4-stroked. Echo says not to re-tune until broken in. But, next job is with somewhat smaller ash with 24" bar, it will "burble" all over the place if I do not lean it out some. It has limiters, so it may not lean out "idealy"; but like you say, a bit righ is way safer than a bit too lean.
I heat with wood and everything I know about chainsaws I’ve learned on UA-cam. I think I’ve watched nearly every UA-cam on carb adjustments. This is hands down the best video by far! You are an excellent teacher! Thank you!

I've never seen anyone explain what a saw should be doing in and out of the cut for the high side. Clears SO much up in this video. Thanks man!

Should be the opposite, the higher the elevation the leaner you need it because the air is thinner.

Great video tinman!! I've explained this countless times to people who have had the same question. You explained it perfectly. Be good bro 💪
That means a lot comin from a real rootin tootin logger!! Thanks buddy!!
@@tinmanssaws Friend, it is enough to subtract 300 max revolutions from the specification and it will growl like a bitch in heat :)
This is very well explained and I will likely come back to this a few times. I never even thought about tuning for various species of wood.
I'm new to chainsaws and what i like about your video is that the process is straightforward and understandable, adjusting and allowing us to hear the sounds understand what the adjustment is actually doing. I have a carb adjustment toolkit coming in and i'll give it a try and try and get things dialed in well enough.

Extremely excited that you showed us this video and information, I got it now and I’m excited about it 😊❤
Fantastic commentary. Great vids. Just getting into porting and your videos have helped a lot. Many thanks , Darren from New Zealand

Great video Tinman!! I have always struggled with getting them tuned correctly!! Thanks brother!! Much love from my family to yours!!
Great video Tinman. Learned alot. Like the example of pulling the saw up while in the wood to hear it 4 stroke. Thanks!
This was a stupendous video. Crystal clear explanation and demonstration. Thankyou
Hey Tinman you just got a new sub and a thumbs up 👍 Thanks for the great info!
Hey Tinman
I just watched your vid. Learned a ton in the last 27 minutes.
Thank you....
Very informative! Thank you for making this video! I have been having trouble with my saws! Can’t wait to try tuning them tomorrow!
this video is without a doubt the best carb tuning vid out there easy to understand special note to anyone reading this comment the instructions on adj high jet till it 4 strokes when pulled out of cut is key here thats what i could never get right until now so now im not afraid of making it to lean thank you very much great vid

Nice Job Tinman on the description of four stroking! Great Stuff brother! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Great video! I've hear about you from many videos from Bucking Billy Ray! I follow him a lot. Most greatful on you showing us this video SIR!
Great tuning video Tinman 👍👍! Keep up the awesome job 😁!
Just saved me a trip to the saw shop. Video was perfect for my bogging out saw. Thank You!
Great video and some awesome info. Now I know more than what I did before watching. I have just started tinkering with some saws within the last month or so and I am always looking for great info to help with them. Great video.👍
Thank you - I am struggling with my saw and this answered many questions 👍
The video that changed my life for the better forever. Thanks for the knowledge TMan
My main man! Changed my life with this number.
Amazing content Tinman, appreciate the insight. Great overall explanation 👊
Thanks for this video tinman. I wish i would’ve seen this sooner. I’ve been trying to learn carb tuning but i dont wanna burn a saw up learning 😂 this helps alot. Thanks tinman 🤙🏼
Been looking for a video like this for some time now. I appreciate the description of 4-stroking as well as the demo on how to actually adjust the carb. My saw is bogging on the throttle and needs attention.
Excellent video! Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Great explanation. Helped me understand what’s going on so much better.
Very good video , couldn't have been more instructive and easy to follow, well done thanks.
Great explanation. The low jet loading up problem is something that I’ve been doing wrong. Thanks for the info.
Iv been doing the same thing
Love this video.But I really love how that saw runs!!sound so right. Thanks for the demo on a great saw.
Thank you so much Tinman, that really helps me understand so much more. Thank you again mate.
That was a perfect training course. Thank you!
Excellent demonstrastion! I just unboxed an Echo 7310P a couple of days ago first run yesterday on a giant red oak with very sound wood. Even with the 32" bar fully buried and aggressise chain, it 4-stroked. Echo says not to re-tune until broken in. But, next job is with somewhat smaller ash with 24" bar, it will "burble" all over the place if I do not lean it out some. It has limiters, so it may not lean out "idealy"; but like you say, a bit righ is way safer than a bit too lean.
Tin man great video!! I liked the comment of different woods have different tune settings. Great job!!!!
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing with the community
