My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We saw over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

Do something with a shindaiwa
Its amazing that you are this kind. You own a repair shop and show people how to fix stuff and save money. In this crazy world we live in there are STILL some awesome folks out there!!!
Yes she is a Kind Woman but YT Pays pretty good if you have enough Viewers...
One of your best instructional videos EVER. Thanks Bre
You make it so simple and easy to fix and check things, Thank you
No oil is getting to my bar but my excuse is I'm old!! Sorry folks, I couldn't pass that up. Thanks again for the content Chic.
Probably because your tank is empty. 😂
😂😅😊😮
@@tomrogers9467 No doubt about that Tom!! 🙂
Hehe ….Join the club! No oil either! BUT plenty of gas! 🤣🍻
You know, they got medicine for that!😂
Good video on an often oiler issue. Catching the issue early saved the melt down and total destruction. Nothing worst than losing a pefectly good machine from neglect. Thanks for the fix and saving a chainsaw replacement and my woodsman sanity.
Thank you! I don't have a Stihl, but do have a Dolmar. The knowledge you provide is invaluable.
Yup winter is just around the corner 2 weeks ago I delivered a semi load of snowblowers to a lowes distribution center. Another great instructional video from the best mechanic around
Thank you for the oiler repair video. I have several Stihl saws. When I need to repair them this information will be helpful. Thank you for another great video.
another hot day in Arkansas and Bre is dressed for success....!
A timely video for the Stihl maintenance crowd. I'm kinda chronic about bar oil, Quality Chains and Bars ain't cheap ! 😉👍
You need to put out a Chickanic calendar!
Yep, it's firewood season up here in Ontario - gotta get my old chainsaw tuned up!! Thanks for the video, Bre! ❤
In the process of cutting, splitting and stacking right now. When the rain stops! Muskoka.
@@tomrogers9467 Watch your back!! Best wishes, and I hope we have a mild winter. (Holland Landing)
Takes a special talent to run a saw with the chain brake on!!!
I hope our local STIHL shop watches your channel. Thanks.
You are brilliant and amazing! I love watching your videos. Had no idea how hard it was for oil to get from that tank over to that chain. I'm just happy that mine works! Keep up the great work.
Amazing. Thank you for showing us how to do this.
I will never start my saw again without checking for spray off the blade.
'Bout the 1st. thing I check every single time ! 😉👍
Good lesson on the oiler
Excellent class on pro/commercial grade saw oiler systems & repair. I've only had hobby grade saws to tinker/repair on like old poulans, & a more recent makita. None had oiler problems & I don't know if they had oil pumps or something cheaper like a calibrated leak hole (lol) type oil sys. They all fling oil & I never looked into it. Now I know! Thanks Bre! Shout out to Ron & his recovery 👍 Paul from S. Central Tx.
New to chainsaws. This was very helpful to know what to look for. Thanks.
I was on the edge of my seat watching for the oil to come out. Hi drama, Chickanic style.
I have a little Sthil MS180C that hadn't been started in 3 years. I poured out the old gas and refilled it with fresh. It started on the 3rd pull. I have multiple Sthil saws and trimmers, and I know a lot of YT small engine mechanics talk bad about Sthil 2 cycle oil, but that is all I've used for over 20 years with no problems. I did, however, buy an Echo backpack blower from the Chickanic and am running the Red Armor in it.
I have a pair of the MS 310 saws and had to do new oil pumps because i messed them up when i replaced the clutch drum and sprockets. Did not know they had to fit in the way they did. no real damage to anything but a half dozen chains got a good stretch to them. I have learned alot from watchin your vids covering the stihl saws so thanks for the information/education
Useful thanks… not new to small engines, but new to chainsaws
Thanks. I always wonder how the oiler worked so I never messed with it. You showed it's not that hard.😊👍
I have a Stilh 271 Farm biss. Learn alot from your channel. Thanks.
That’s a damn good job. I knew you could work on the oiler but never knew how. Thanks for the tip!!
Thank you Bre for the instructional vid
Great explanation, clear and simple . 👍🏴
Good to know thanks👍
When I watched the first part (checking to if oil is coming off the chain) I thought to myself everybody does that. I guess not. Thanks for showing what to do if I don't see oil flying off the chain. As for the chain brake I never activate that thing on purpose. To me it's for (preventing) accidents only.
Excellent repair video Bre! Great suggestion about checking that the bar oil is flowing.
Great info going to share with my brother thanks.
I had problems with the covers around the clutch/brake melting on my MS461… and then the brake wasn’t working correctly. I pulled it apart and found the area around the brake band and brake mechanism was full of wood swarf and bar oil! I cleaned it all out and replaced the covers. Now, at least once a year, I pull those covers on my MS261, MS461 and MS661 and clean them out. No more related problems.
I dont cut everyday. Sometimes it may be weeks & weeks betwix saw uses. SO, I try to remember to pour
out the gas into my riders tank but if I did forget I do it before I cut & put fresh gas in. I use my saw so
infreq I mix up 1qt batches in a trufuel metal can. After the fuel in the can has sat around awhile I pour it
into my rider.
!
Enjoy all videos a lot of learning thank you
Another great vid Bre! Although I don’t have a chainsaw presently, I always learn something from your videos. Thanks! 👍👍
Wonderful. You might ought to mention the importance of keeping your bar groove and the matching holes in the bar that line up with the body of the saw. You would think that everyone should know that but some do not.
🎶Handy dandy hemos🎶 that sounds like a game I used to play when I was a kid 😅
Nice tip Bre. Enjoy your content. Stay safe.
You are one heck of a mechanic !
chain saws are buzzing here in ohio.. oiler issues seem to be the most common.. great video!!!
You are the best Bre thanks
Great job however would you recommend cleaning up the area around the pump that has the melted hose and sawdust debris? Thanks
I'm surprised some people don't do this, I've always checked it's slinging oil and then recheck the tension before I start cutting, I'd rather know BEFORE everything is blue and smoking :P Years ago I have seen a few saws that got crispy (hire saws and customer saws) But the absolute worst of them all wasn't a chainsaw, it was a Husky concrete/demolition saw, some genius had greased the clutch, that thing caught fire, it went straight to the graveyard, the diamond blade was the only thing on it that could be saved. I have to assume it was the same genius that greased the clutch that ran it slipping until it caught fire, I wish I had seen it happen, VERY expensive hire saw when you have to pay for replacement :D
Thanks❤
Nice job, awesome small engine mechanic/ chain saws etc 😀 AAA 😊🎉
I had to do the exact same repair only mine was clogged with saw dust.
Good morning Bre how is Ron doing I love your content
Ron is doing fantastic! Thanks for asking!
Customer reports chainsaw stored in lake does not work right. 😂
And, ANOTHER excellent video. Thank you! I am sure I will be digging this video up at some point.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Absolutely every saw every time
Easiet fix advice in the ENTIRE WORLD with everything. "If it worked,, leave it alone."
Plastics replaced the pot metal.
My uncle taught me to always check the oiler first thing after you start it.
Thank you Bre
On a poulan pro, what goes into that tiny hole, on the right, under the metal plate that fits over the bolts? Compress air the dirt off and something popped now bar oil is dripping out.
Got it! Wear my wife's sandals !
Thanks a bunch.
That was awesome thank you you go girl👏✊🇺🇸
How's Ron doing and have a wonderful week
Stihl's are notoriously stingy at oiling anyway. Great vid!
I DO watch my Stihl's allot more closely, but they're two of the most expensive saws I own ! 🤷🏼♂️ Yes, they tend to be stingy. I'd rather pay for the oil personally. 😉
Great advise, most saws are not maintained properly by the owners
Great job 👍
Good Morning 👋👋👋
Any damage to the bar or chain running without oil?
I see ur wearing ur favorite mechanic clothes have a good day young lady chickanic
Hi Bre, Can you please let me know where you purchased the flywheel gaping tool you are using in your shop? Thanks from a loyal viewer
Did the overheating come from running it with the brake on and that caused the oiler to fail?
at one time they had lots of problems with the wire slipping on the worm gear (back in the '80's if memory serves me) especially in cold temps. that's about the time low temp bar oil became a thing.
Love the videos😊In your Amazon store can you make a rebuild kit with lines for a husqvarna 128LD .? Thanks so much
Good work. Think I got a crappy one in the yard
Always amazes me how people don't take care of their stuff and are surprised when it breaks.
I have a Stihl 271 farm boss and one of the bar stud bolts stripped. Do you have a video on how to fix it correctly?
AHHHH, My dose of mechanical knowledge is satisfied now thank you I enjoy seeing skill and knowledge working with a successful outcome and as always your show is great Girl , thank you
Cheers👍👍👍😎💨🏴☠☮☮💡🔧☕☕
Cool!🇺🇲
We have had 7 small engine shops shut down and ordered to clean up the soil in their properties in my city forcing shop labor to pass $200/h in the remaining shops. One shop's cost to clean-up costs is over 700 thousand dollars under their quarter acre boneyard from tire fibres, oil, micro plastic and banned PFAS. To open a new shop everything has to be indoors or you must employ a E-Tech (College) or a P-Tech (university) certified engineering tech who only tests soil or concrete and doesn't touch any machines!
Also anything with mineral or vegetable oil on it, like your cardboard must be disposed as toxic waste and the driver/handler both needs Class 3 dangerous goods truck licencing and handeling training!
Glad I live here! Those regulations are insane along with those who impose and enforce them.
The rust is most likely heat corrosion.
And subsequent condensation and quenching of a hot surface. 😳
Be the only thing I wish that you would do in your videos is to wear a pair of boots or shoes. I know it’s hot outside but saving your feet is important. The safety issue is worrisome. Your videos are always loaded with good content.
I'm going to put a piece of cardboard out where I store my saws so I'll be reminded to check this.
this girl rocks !!
chick a wow wow
I was wondering if you have any stickers for sale for your channel, I didn't see any in your store, just wondering. Thanks
I’m surprised that you didn’t rev up the saw to max and then SUDDENLY engage the brake. That does 2 things simultaneously: it checks out the functioning of the brake itself, and if it’s working properly it’ll tighten up the church to the crankshaft without it being excessive. I think that brake band is right at the edge of needing replacement because it’s so thin. The different OEMs have spec’s out for checking things like that. 😊
Thanks for the video. Opinion : Toro 21” lawnmower self propelled with Honda engine? $300 used good condition.?
Good stuff as usual!
Knocking a hole in the top of your piston is not good? Who'da thunk that. :) Basic maintainence after use for me has always included pulling bar off and clearing out the oiling holes.
Thanks for giving us an other interesting video. Careful in those flip flops, you want to keep all ten tootsies connected to your feet. Please keep the videos coming. Till next time, regards from sunny Myrtle Beach SC.
Sick that thing just pukes out that oil now girl 🤘🤮
Thanks Bre I've put two oil pumps in my Stihl MS170 , its a pain taking the case/cover off . I buy them from Amazon , finding a metric screw to thread into them to pop them out is sometimes ruff around my work bench as I am old school sae type man, for a little brass pump its a pain in the arse
If the chain breaks your bleeding, please put chaps on.
beautyfull
Seeing your not a stihl dealer I assume. Where do you get your parts for them ?
5:07 the brake band looks like it is damaged as it has a break in it...?
❤Hey, Hey 😮 great days to Ya'll 😊 ya know ya leave yerself wide-open for my irritating 😮😂😂😂 just goes to be how a Show-Me boy was raised in the Ozarks 😊😂😂😂 fantastic to almost catch ya today,glad ya still gettin' greasy 😂❤
👍great video
Do something with a shindaiwa
So, The bar is closed :)
👍
My saw never gets clogged up. I like to use an air gun to blow out all the old saw dust .
Some people just shouldn't use a chainsaw. They're too stupid for it.
Your wording may sound harsh, BUT IT IS A CHAINSAW ! ⚠️ 🤷🏼♂️
