- Ryobi 14 in. 37cc 2-Cycle Gas Chainsaw.
Not much of a review. More of a show and tell. More to follow once I put it to some good use. So far.. it starts and it cuts. For the money, we are of to a good start.

*Coming up on having had this saw for a year....am a casual user and bought it to cut up sections for bowl blanks. Easy to start, **Bestfor.Garden** also recommend even after storage for a couple of months. Simple chain tension adjustment. Just cut up some 20" Osage Orange, including ripping bolts in half (at an angle). Like butter!*
I am about to buy the same one so I was looking at reviews for it and then I looked at your page looking for the next update that he was going to have with it and it wasn’t there but I do appreciate you making this video
I've been using this for years now. No issues. Still starts and runs great.
I have the Ryobi 16 in. 37cc 2-Cycle Gas Chainsaw, great utility saw for trimming tress and downed branches. Light-weight and starts right up every time. If you are doing heavy duty work, then maybe something bigger (with a bigger price tag). For the price this is a great tool.
I just got one that I love it it runs great and it starts right up👍
Me too
I’ve owned one of these for about 4 years now, I’ve fallen mesquite trees, silver maples, oak… I just recently swapped out the 14” bar with an 16” bar and it pulls it just fine. Works awesome for managing deer property.
i just bought one of those and it works like a charm,i use it to cut small tree's,i wouldn't recommend using it for anything bigger.
RYOBI never lets me down !
You mentioned underneath there is a adjustment screw for the chain lube, is this easily identified and how do I find it. Thanks.
Home depot is selling a lot of these and if I was looking for a 14-16 inch, I'd get this. I got the 20 inch blue max based on reviews and 50 percent more torque for the 20 inch but this has much better reviews than the 38 cc blue max
I might get a Ryobi for a truck saw, so I don't need to worry about one of my Husqvarnas walking off.
Yeah the thought of a few grand of saws walking off... makes me wanna buy a cheapo
Just got This saw to do some limb pruning and small tree removal follow the instructions started right up it's working great remove Three Oaks trees and a lot of small smaller trees through the acreage
ATTENTION!! This saw will start and run well for a long time but be sure and use the engineered fuel. So much better and tons more reliable.

Hey wanted to thank you for this
this is great advice
Just buy premium non ethanol fuel and get your mix correct...no need to buy engineered fuel.
@@kirkthebeerslinger if you can get it. I agree
Try this link...hope it helps...

I realize I'm pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?
Just bought it and this thing never lets me down just cut a tree and the limbs were about 1 and half feet thick and this thing cut through them without a struggle really recommend it for the price and performance 👍🏼
Will you recommend to buy extra chains or file or any recommendations 🤔 I am on the almost the same misión but the tree are green and when it get cut it trow like a white glue I think it will damage the chain ⛓
I bought this saw and got the Oregon 16 in bar and chain and upgraded it. Definitely worth the extra 27 dollars for the Oregon blade and chain.
Could you have found any softer of wood to cut...
Wonder how this compares to the 42 cc Craftsman 14".
nice demonstration:)
If you ever have problems with this Ryobi 2-stroke engine running not running etc. You need a carb adjuster tool to reset the carb setting screws for lean/rich and idle/air mixture settings. If you get those adjusted right on this carburetor then you will have a perfect running Ryobi engine.
These Ryobi 2-stroke engines run great for many many years. The only parts that wear or you may need to replace is the sprocket, chain and bar. The chain becoming loose is normal stretching, you will need to adjust chain's tightness many times over the hours of cutting. Eventually it will hold it's tightness. Don't over tighten the chain, it will wear out the sprocket, chain and bar.
On the weedwackers' you need to replace the clutch after many hours or years. Depending on thickness of grass you're cutting through.
Thanks for the tip. So far I have had no issues and I have used it a lot this year. But if I do, I will definitely look into that. Thanks for watching!
how do you adjust that i just want it to start
Blake Sanden adjust what?
FunOutDoors read the opening comment.. you will find the answer to my question there
Blake Sanden oh sorry :). I have had no carb issues so have not messed with that. Hopefully Thearrowsmith will speak up.
Boom ! Lightning cuts!
Just got one for small limb cutting (Bradford pears).
this saw actually has REALLY good reviews on home depot....I think there's just a lot of Idiots, that don't know what the hell they're doing.....you MUST follow starting procedures EXACTLY....if you skip steps, it Won't start, period.
Mike Fu I agree. I have a number of Ryobi tools and they are all like that. Follow the instructions and you'll never have a problem. Thanks for watching.
Amazing how following manufacturer instructions works perfectly eh? Can't understand ppl who don't follow directions and then say something is crap...my little RY3714 with an aggressive grind on the chain is a CHAMP! Can't be beat for the price.
Do you smell gasoline when it is sitting around?
Can the chain guard on the tip be removed ?
Yes, it can be removed. Just one bolt. Obviously, the manual recommends keeping it on. But I'm sure I will end up taking it off also.
yes the gaurd can be removed,i took it off after first use,i found that the guard always got in my way when im cutting tight spots.
What tip guard 😉
question?? how is it on gas
I can't go more than about 2 4" cuts before my chain loosens every time
Any updates?
Hi! How is your chain saw doing? :)
Can you put a 20 inch blade on a ryobi ry3716 16 inch model
I have no idea.
Not recommended,as engine 37cc? If cutting hardwood, suggest 16" or 14", so as not to overload engine.
How’s the chainsaw holding up? I just purchased one and haven’t opened it yet.
Mike Lettieri I beat the piss out of it last summer with zero issues. Expect to do the same this year. Good luck!
This question and it's reply is what I wanted to hear. I might get shit for bringing a Ryobi to work but if mine starts and theirs doesn't... Ha
@@codycampbell3562 I’ve had it for a few years now and it’s been great. The crazy thing is, that this Ryobi outperformed a more expensive and “powerful” ECHO that I owned.
i just got the same one today january 30 th 2018 what i found on this model is the screw to adjust the amount of chain lube just keeps going in circle it never tightens or loosens ? how the heck we know how much oil we are giving it ,,,,i tried tightening it ,IMPOSSIBLE tasks ,,?
bug Den I just gave it a 1/4 turn until it looked/felt right. Seems to work great. Good luck
mine fell out in the garage floor never even seen wood yet LOL ,, i was just wondering how something can increase or decrease flow without having any threads LOL ,,,anyway that how a ryoby is made ,,,,mine is going back to home depot cause an oil chain adjusting bolt is not suppose to just fall out hey hey ,,,,thanks for sharing ,,,,,
bug Den oh I see. That is weird. Mine definitely regulates oil flow and is nice and snug. Too bad your having troubles. I really like this saw for the price.
ok problem solved got a new one home depot told me i was not the first to encounter this ,, i worked in small engine repair in my younger years and was not familiar with this particular oil system all though they are somewhat similar at the end ,,,,its all good i may even get the shop manual for this one i do like it i cut down a big ass tree with my wife and trimmed a lot of shit off my lot LOL , this screw once i saw it reminded me of a cam system for the chain oil as the cam turns that screw depending where its set will change the rate of oil being sent to the chain , it has no thread cause i saw it when it fell out i am sure its how it works ,,,its all good back to regular routine ,,,,enjoying my buggy LOL ,,,,,happy trails
well i took it back today t hey told me i was not the first with this issue ,,,but i cut a big ass tree OAK HARD WOOD but it handled it nicely ,,,,no problem and cut for about 2 hours straight ,,,that screw now that i had a good look at it has NO threads its a cam by turning the screw it changes the amount of oil being sent to the chain . i worked in a small engine shop in my younger years but was not familiar with this chain saw , so i may get the shop manual for it cause it seems to be an ok saw . its all good , happy trails to you
This or poulan?
Just bought one for 59.99 from a dude that's gets em by the pallet full that are reconditioned returns or just didn't like it returns lol. Just needed one that'll start today and my other freebie poulan is giving me crap. We'll see how long it goes without me having to work on it.
Results?
I just bought this. Have some questions: How tight the chain must be? How to use the bar and chain oil? How is the regular gas treatment?
I think the manual says something about being able to pull the chain a 1/4 inch away from the center of the bar. If you cannot pull it that far away, its too tight. If you can pull it farther, its too loose. Don't quote me, look it up. As far as bar/chain lube goes, just fill it up. It automatically lubricates as long as the hopper has lube in it. I have not had problems using the regular gas treatment. This thing has ran like a top since I bought it.
@@FunOutDoors Just 'fill it up'. Don't you love instructions like that? LOL!!! Anyway, you can just 'fill it up' with Canola oil if you have some around the house. Works like a charm. You can also use 30 weight auto oil, but I use Canola and I prefer it. Cleaner.
@@newmanfertig886 , suggest that you don't leave chain on bar if unused for quite awhile. Canola oil dries out / oxidizes to form a resin that binds the chain joints & bar groove. Real pain to get clean.
Also, if Canola oil dries on plastic body, if stored where field mice have access, liable to be gnawed.
@@trwilkinson4623 Thanks!
YOU NEED TO GET SOME PPE!!!!!!!!!!
You told us all you did but, I thought a video was for showing what to do.
Is it still running?
I literally used it to cut up a maple tree last weekend. Still starts and runs great.
@@FunOutDoors thanks. I need something that will last at least a year and can cut small trees no more then 20-25 inches wide MAX consistently. I dont care if it zips thru them like butter. Dont care about anything other than not it breaking down and continuing to cut. I will be using it every weekend for a month or 2 at first
teetering on your toes leaning over the moving chain bar.... so many bad outcomes. Next time on Live Leak...
What's with the unnecessary slow motion? Damn just want to see it work normal
I have used this Ryobi 16" 37cc saw for my limbing and small cuts (super lightweight, and a good inexpensive little saw for little projects) for over 5 years. Of course, I upgraded this Ryobi to an Oregon bar and chain to make it work well. But I digress. I never expected that this saw would become a staple on my dads property. I did not expect that it would be a little workhorse that would show up every day to limb, chop, and make short work of new growth. I am on my 3rd chain, and (as I explained, go OREGON bars!) my 2nd bar. Learn how to keep your chain sharp, so you are not buying a new chain when what you have just needs a little honing (imagine everyone throwing away their pocket knives, instead of sharpening them correctly).
Whatever saw you choose to take home, just remember the mantra of wise men everywhere.
'She is a fickle bitch. You have to learn just what she wants. Just what she needs, even if she will never articulate that fact to you. Use your Zen power, and figure out what she needs to be happy and grind hard. She will never tell you, so you had better figure that out for yourself. If you can unlock that mystery, she will stay by your side forever, and never let you down'.
When I worked construction I stopped getting dewalt.and started getting.ryobi I saved a lot.of.money and my tools (which I hardly took care.of) were outlasted most Dewalt I had people talk trash on ryobi becasue it's made cheap and is a basic tool.eothout all the cool extra features people grt but I'll tell ya it's saved me 1000s of good American dollars and hasn't shown a dofference.in performance
come here to see about a chainsaw not your 70's porn music
Shut the hell up ya bastard
i have a question were can i adjust the torque couse ive just try to cut and the chain stops right when the chain touches the wood what can i do help
susikini:-) there are two nuts on the side of the bar that need to be loosened. Once loose, use a flathead screw driver to adjust tension. The tension adjustment is next to the nuts.
RTFM.
great video, great review....the slow mo cutting made feel like i was watching man cave porn...Haha! great job.
Mike m5959 that basically what I was going for. Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately our new Ryobi 14 inch never started. We followed the instructions explicitly, including the trouble shooting instructions. Nothing worked. After an hour and a half and about 200 pulls on the cord, we gave up and took it back to the store for a refund. Zero stars.
hillock10 I'm really sorry to hear that. I have literally run 30 tanks of gas through mine. No issues. Just used it to cut atv trails last weekend. Started on second pull.
something was wrong
no spark ?
Operator error. Ever use a chain saw before?
Well, mine started right up and I ran it for about an hour. Turned it off, and then it would not re-start, so I put it away. Probably flooded. So, 200 pulls? I would have taken it back after 30.
User error. Ever started a 2cycle tool? Please use proper fuel n oil mix.
Get the ppremixed fuel,it will save you alot of frustration.
Scott Foster I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip.
or .... get a one gallon gas tank and buy small 50:1 two cycle oil, even a dumbass can't make a mistake mixing this up!
How do i know what type of gasoline to use?
pre-mixed? Nah. You can buy 2-cycle oil (enough for a gallon of gas) at Wally World for a buck. It doesn't have to be exact. A little too much oil and it smokes a bit more. So what. Save you money. Pre-mixed is for people with more money than brains.
I recently did a little work with the 14" Ryobi - ua-cam.com/video/kOukBCUuwNU/v-deo.html
The 14inch saw was purchased for trimming apple trees and fence rows, today it was warm enough to use it.
The saw was hard to start, when I finally got it started it would bog down when cutting anything larger than a twig.
After about a half hour it started dying when the trigger was squeezed, now it will not start at all. This is my first Ryobi saw and will be my last.
This saw is crap.
Jerry Gilreath that is strange. I would take it back to swap for a new one. I have literally run this thing all year with no issues. Most of the summer was spent cutting red oak. Every few tanks of gas I need to sharpen the chain, but that it.
you're probably just an idiot....and didn't follow the directions.
@@FunOutDoors red oak is a good test. vvverrryyy hard
This is a really good saw. Bogged down when cutting anything larger than a twig? I simply do not believe that statement. I easily cut through a tree with a 7" diameter trunk. No problem at all.
Watch this before you buy! ua-cam.com/video/U_R-3HIXlB8/v-deo.html
Ryobi saws are junk. I bought 2 new over the years. Never again.
This thing is useless unless you have small ready to cut branches already laid on the ground.
stihl
Not poplar. Birch
This video was totally useless to me, can't start it, need more clear direction, who cares about the aftermath
you just bought it?if its a piece of crap,just return it... ditch the crappy music....
