I am that Stihl trained guy, but also do lots of small engine repairs, Stihl is German engineered, if it looks like goes there with a click than it does. First where were your chaps? Never i mean never run a chainsaw without them. Now start up, let the engine and piston warm up before revving up,causes cold piston scoring . I use Tru-fuel cost a little more but if you leave it in there over time, it will still start up to a year or more. Had to chime in, you are are great mechanic to learn from on vehicles,i like your method for finding the problem and fixing it, just had to rattle yor cage on small engines. Keep up the great work.
Damn, you and I are like brothers from different mothers !!! We think alike, work alike, have same taste in foods, love animals, live in the woods, hunt, fireplace ??, side carry on the right, but I draw the line on a dirt floor in the work shop, country or not !!!! Get that cement truck up that driveway and backed up to the garage door, start pouring that floor. THEN SEAL IT !!!! SO NO OIL STAINS. Never put my creeper wheels in the dirt. Good carb replacement job !!!!! Well done, Eric !!!!! Mrs. O. is proud of you !!!!!
So you said you were going to post a follow up on this. Is it stihl running?
Hi Again Eric Liked the video. George here from Canada, Run chains all my life ,Worked in the woods the first part of my life , that was my income ,when I first got married and had 4 kids 2 girls 2 boys, Leave home 4 Am. get home 5pm, Totally played out, I usually run Husky saws But I did buy an o44 Stihl. I still have it a good tough saw,/ And yes the carbs you buy are pre set you never have to adjust them ./ And yes taking a saw apart is not that hard Just put it back together in reverse order./ and yes the saw parts on Amazon are dirt cheap. The Stihl i own I let a friend use it , he said something happen to it, I brought it home , I pulled the cord, I said to myself ./ feels like he put raw gas in it , sure enough, The head and piston was toast. I checked with a chainsaw shop here for an oem head was 350.00, I can buy one from China,/ head, piston ,gaskets ,,seals for crank spark plug , breather for 47.00 dollars//// I must say it was different to see you working on a Chain saw. I have come home at night Tear my saw apart put a head and piston in and have the saw ready for work the next morning
I found watching Eric rebuilding this chain saw so exciting and motivating that I got some tools together, marched into the kitchen and attacked my sticky old Moen faucet. Got the cartridge out and pulled apart, cleaned it up a bit, and lubed it all with Sil-glyde, (didn't have any food grade silicone lube on hand), and put it all back together. Wow, smoother than new. Im so proud of myslelf. Next I'll probably pull the head on my 20+ year old 525i. That thing really needs work. Thanks Eric.
That is awesome!
Bought the same carburetor for my Stihl MS250. Watched video and answered all my questions with the adjustment screws in the different position. I would save the old carb though, take it apart and throw in an ultrasonic, put a new kit in it for the next time. Thanks.
It's nice to see- you're well armed out there. Best to be safe- you never know in those woods. Nice fix on that saw!
These somewhat "off topic" videos only add quality and variety to your channel. Thanks
Love that you're wearing a sidearm. You're a man after my own heart. How much B.S. do you have to go through in NY to carry legally?
You gotta carry when in the woods. You never know when a bobcat or a rabid raccoon will get you
Im sure being a business owner, with the possibility of (carrining) large amounts of cash would help in NY. I live on Long Island and have never tried to get a permit, but in Virginia it was alot easier to get a concealed permit owning your own business...
You do not need a permit to carry on your own property in any state. Well you need a permit to buy and own a gun.
Chainsaws, Axes, Knives, Guns, Gasoline and BrakeClean....Best Eric O vid EVER! Thanks
I agree
This video is gold on a friday afternoon , rainy day with not much else to do. Thank goodness that carb wasn't made by a Detroit union guy on a smoke break.
I own the same chainsaw, one other and lots gas powered lawn gadgets. I got sick of replacing carbs so I started using premix fuel in a can rather than mixing my own. Everything starts right up, plenty of power. Fuel is expensive but offset by the extra time I have.
Great video!
Plus premixed has very good additives that stay fresh way longer. So far Husqvarna 240 premixed fuel in it for 5 years, started right up no problems.
Thanks for limping through this carb install with me. Two people with no idea what they are doing is better than 1.
This is the most accurate real world representation of an average person attempting a repair. Learned a lot, thanks.
glad yours worked good for you, i replaced mine as well got the carb off amazon like you said real cheap,installed it didnt take to long and ran okay for a while then started having ruff running readjusted it, fooled with it for a couple of months and then took it to the dealership and $60 later it was running great after they put a new carb on it and it is still running great 2 yrs later...sometimes life is to short trying to save a few bucks....LOL
Done a few of them zama carbs. Them diaphragms get pretty hard after a lot of use and old fuel sitting inside them. I usually buy the rebuild kit. It comes with everything but the carb. I usually always replace the in tank filter also. Sometimes you’ll find kibbles and bits pieces of hose in the tank depending on how long it’s been sitting around with old gas in it.
I like it. A little homesteading with a side arm. It's nice to see you out of the shop.
+wyattoneable Nice to be out of the shop :)
+South Main Auto Repair , try cleaning and adjusting the old one, I have fixed many that way (brake cleaner maybe)lol
I think he's just being prepared in case one of his disgruntled customers shows up
You are now officially a certified Stihl Chainsaw repair technician!!! I am too... after watching your video lol
Gota love stihl . Been using for 20 years . Clean filter, change spark plug , change carburetor, chain sprocket, keep chain sharp, good clean fuel and oil.. the best saw.
Man 6 year old video saved me over 200 beans if I would need to buy a similar saw, maybe more, I have not shopped. Thats a tedious carb change for a sweet limb saw.
Just came across this old episode. When I purchased my Stihl a decade ago it said right in the manual that if you used anything other then Premium gas with zero ethanol, the warranty would be Void. Salesman said to always just run it dry before storing. Must say good advice. Wing Wang Stihl saw, has a nice ring. Lol
Man, that's what i love about the US.
Outside of the stories i see or read about with regards to the police forces, you guy's have some great areas to live.
With what seems to be a fair bit of land, i envisage myself living a relatively peaceful, open space with a good home someday.
I am envious.
Great repair video by the way.
chomerly A lot of people hate NY but I sure like where I live :)
@@SouthMainAuto
Damn New Yorkers 😉
Good video Eric. I'm a Husky guy myself but nothing bad about a Stihl. And I wont bust your chops about chaps or ear face protection. I just bought a egg foo yung carb for a craftsman lawn mower The rebuild gasket kit was $8 and the replacement carb was $16 so I got the carb. It works fine.
Don Guptill Well if you watch the video you can see I have a Husky and a Stihl :) Only my Husky has four legs....
Eric, you have a beautiful driveway. You also make excellent UA-cam content, please continue your much appreciated work.
You are like a brother from a different mother. I have the same tractor and the same chainsaw, and my Stihl is also not running because the carb is long plugged up. I have been using my Mac one instead, because I worried about the WingWang carbs on Amazon. I bought one for my leaf blower, and it doesn’t work right when hot - can’t get to full power. I suspect it just is made too small and can’t pull enough fuel fast enough. But, based on your experience, I’ll take another shot at one for the Stihl. Thanks for all you do!!
Sounds like it just needs adjusted or got DOA carb. Buy Amazon carbs all the time, but never use the spark plugs.
This is why I rate your channel Eric - it's your varied, interesting content - Thanks!
1954BJohn Gotta keep it real . :)
Done a 210 a while back , the carb was around $25 from Stihl . Those are good little saws .

Am I the only one who thought this was INCREDIBLY relaxing to watch?
That fuel pump relay joke was awsome, keep up the good work and greetings from Latvia :)
raimondszunda hehe
@@SouthMainAuto That must be one of the old stihl's that had a problem with the fuel cap not venting properly and allowing the fuel tank to be pressurized too much. and guys in the trees would take the fuel cap of to refuel and would get sprayed with gas and if the engine was hot enough, some caught on fire.
So I borrowed a chainsaw from my buddy and the MS210 is what he gave me. He said it takes him about 20 min to get it started though. I threw in a BPMR7A NGK spark plug and it started on the 3rd pull. This is a pretty good chainsaw. Thanks for this vid I may give it the spray cleaner treatment before I return it.
Eric, this is a really informative repair video and I like how you are able to keep them fun to watch. Thanks for doing the video for us. It saved me about 75 buck.
+Craig D Glad you liked it !
Ahh, now you're in my line of business! Fun, ain't it? :D It's all what you're used to - I hate working on cars in the same way, but I fumble through it. You did good there - don't sell yerself short! :) I would've left the hose and filter in the tank too - they're a bit of a pain to swap.
If you think that was a pain in the ass, you should try a carb swap on a Husqvarna 350 - the first time I did one of those I was cursing up a storm, as if it were a GM product! :D
Yeah keep the OEM Zama - those are great carbs. You probably could've just disassembled and cleaned it rather than replacing it, but now you have a spare. WHEN the hong chang carb fails (LOL), you can still clean the OEM one and use it. You'll figure it out - they're really very simple - just have to watch the float needle side - really TINY parts in there. Just hold a finger on it while you remove the screw, then slowly release, and take the tiny spring, fork, screw, and needle out. Putting it in is harder to explain, but you'll figure it out. I balance the little spring in it's place , then throw the little rod in the little fork, and slide the needle in the fork, and install it all in one shot. Easier said than done, but you'll get the hang of it since your mechanically inclined.
This is what I do day in and day out, all due to ethanol in our crap gasoline. :)
Yeah that thing was in pretty good state of tune right out of the box. Miracles never cease!
Eric, My Stihl leaf blower seems to have the same issue with the ethanol flavored gas. Over time the thing wouldn't idle and bogged unless you let it warm up for a looooong time. I replaced the carb once a couple of years ago with a Stihl part whiich worked great. Started acting up again and on a whim I bought a can of the premixed gas they sell at Home Depot for about $7. After running through about 1/2 a tank it runs great again just like it's supposed to. Just in case you want to try it sometime. Thanks again for all the great videos. -Eric
Eric Mark Pre mixed gas huh? Guess I have never seen it... I live a sheltered life lol
It's here at your not so local Home Depot www.homedepot.com/p/TRUSOUTH-Trufuel-50-1-Pre-Oil-Mix-6525638/202532877
What I want to know is how come it's $2 cheaper in Corning than down here. :(
Oh wow we actually get something cheaper huh
South Main Auto Repair I was just reading through the reviews on it and people say good stuff about it. No ethanol and 2 year open shelf life. 5 years unopened. I'm hoping it saves me from having to replace another carb. Stihl version is almost $50. When I'm blowing a ton of leaves in the fall I'll mix it myself but off-season this stuff might be worth it. Best to you. :)
Eric Mark I live in Florida we have many gas stations that have non ethanol gas. Boats, cycles etc need this. It’s a little inconvenient to go out of your way to get it but it’s within ten miles to find them.
I'm glad you showed where that wire went, as the one on mine was hanging loose. That's where I thought - no cutoff switch as it is simple spade lug contact on the choke lever.
Good info and decent view of what you were working on.
That's great I really need to move out of California so I can have a driveway like yours. I want the need for a chain saw and a tractor. I miss seasons and snow the most.
big blzr94 Chain saw smoke and riding on my 1945 Farmall H are some of my favorite things to do.
Great job on the repair ! Packing heat to cut wood is different .
I'm impressed: replaced carburetor in chainsaw, bucked fallen tree, split logs, stacked firewood. More than a day's work for me.
Hi Mr. O... Love your videos on SMA Channel. Any chance you could do a review on the Wang Dong carb after a couple of years, like you mentioned you might do?
It amazes me how cheep new small engine carbs, are I picked up a generator from the side of the road gas was like varnish put in a new carb. and runs like new fresh gas of course
I have learnt a thing or two , working on chain saws , check the spark arrestor in the muffler it may need to be cleaned , for it can hamper a saw from running properly
Had me in stitches a few times in this vid.... oh man! If nothing learned, there's plenty of entertainment! I think you did a pretty good job. A couple fumbles but expected since you don't work on these everyday. 2 thumbs up! 👍👍
I always liked the brake clean alert sound.
I bought one of these kits for my leaf blower 1 yr ago still runs good. The fuel line that came with the kit failed though i fixed it with rubber cement .i would suggest reusing the stihl line great video
Hi Eric. I got the same kit for my echo 20 bucks Ebay China works great . Cheers from Australia Mick
Love the sound of the rain in the background. Enjoyed the video as well.
Nice repair and nice saw. All my power equipment is stihl, there is no better way to go in my opinion.
All my chain saws get a good port and polish of the intake and ex ports. And I always pop the heads off and put it on the table sander and I take and mill just about a thousandth off the deck of the head and throw it back on or I would take and switch the three piece head gasket off and put a thinner single copper head gasket on and run a E3 spark plug and I always run the highest octane possible. And the powerband is just outrageous. I always pop the screen out of the muffler for better flow. But the saws love a thinner head gasket and mild porting. If you wanna get into it more you can port your sleeve depending on the saw. And you can run a different filter. But I always do a mild port and polish, mill the head a thousandth or put thin head gasket and I always run 100 octane from the rebel gas station cause I live here in lasvegas and terrible herps and the rebel gas stations have 100 octane non ethanol fuel for 6 bucks a gallon. Or u can go to the North lasvegas gas station and get Leaded AV fuel. 100 Non Ethanol, 105LL, green Sunoco 112LL,115LL and Blue 120HL (LL= Low Lead, HL = High Lead) the saws love a 50-50 mix of 91 and the green Sunoco 112LL the saws love the Lead In the fuel. It adds lube to the upper cyl and seals the rings better. I always run my 2 stroke dirt bikes on leaded AV fuel they love the added lead as it lubes things and smells delicious
My fuel of choice is ethanol free mid-grade Marathon and use stihl synthetic oil. Has been very good to my 2 stroke stuff so far. I try to drain tank when done but not always. So far, so good.
Another great vid Eric. Did I hear a little, Trinity Giggle in the background? You may consider pulling the muffler and cleaning the carbon from the exhaust port. And those plugs are horrible. The last one I had burned completely in half. You can't beat a good Sthil. I have an old O29 I still use all the time.
I want to see a video on how you sharpen that chain. That cut pretty fast!
Its about what your cutting, you can only be so shartp.
Well that was interesting. Would have been cool to see what it was running like prior to the fix, but no biggy. Few things:
-I about pee'd myself when fuel line hilarity ensued.
-I'd leave a mediocre review on the carb, since they forgot the candy! How does one get box from China w/o candy?
-I'm a Rottie rescuer (breed biased), but man, your dog is beautiful! And she looks well behaved every time she makes an appearance.
Can't wait till the next vid.
Thanks again Eric!
Darren G. Haha glad you enjoyed... yeah and what is up with no candy. Oh well still have 1 packet left from brake job :) Yeahhhhh I really love Sheba. She is a great dog but never leaves my side. I have socialized her heavy sense she was born so she is very well behaved. Not a guard dog but a wonderful companion.
Also hook up the alltell to the spark plug and measure the sine waves of the compression strokes...lol...just a little fun man..love your vlogs
Yes! Wingy-Wangy makes excellent carbonators and pace makers. I understand that instead of stainless steel they use the ultralight chinesium.
donyboy73 would be proud of you, Eric.
Brian Richards I was thinking if things really went south he could send his old carb to Don. They actually aren't that far away from one another. But things worked fine and the tree is now firewood. LOL!
***** Lol plus I am pretty sure I am capable of a little carb overhaul in house haha
Nice fix for not much money, great video. New York state has some beautiful country. (But some tough gun laws)
As a small engine mechanic, not bad Eric, I was sitting here trying to put my hands through the screen to help....I guess this is how you would feel if I was working on my truck! Not the best choice of carbs, but if you get the adjustments right, it'll get the job done for occasional use.
Good fix on saw I see you are packing the way things are getting not bad idea I keep one behind seat on truck you never know.
+Joe Tiller Always got one on me sir :)
Man, Car Mechanic, Chainsaw Mechanic, Ax Man, next we're going to see you driving a big rig over an Ice Road!
+FrugalPrepper I drive the tractor on the ice here does that count ?

Rad! I wanna see Andrew Camarata and South main go head to head!
Fuel line pulls out of fill hole and disconnect filter, then carb side out the top of tank and has a snap seal. Reach in with needlenose to get line out of tank.
Eric I have learned that any spark plug other than NGK or Bosh spark plug will leave you with an engine not working properly. A Stihl chain saw does not like a champion spark plug very long period of time. Thanks for your great videos and great tips. 👍🏻
airplane fuel 100 oct lo lead or race fuel. dont deteriorate for years. plus 2cycles can use all octane so you can lean out to better power and rpms galore! nothing like 12-13 thousand r's to excite the man in you!!
Glad I bought a battery powered chain saw. About the same bar size as yours.
Taryl fixs all,Donnyboy73 Steves small engine saloon, and a myriad of others just got SMASHED by the car repair guy. I love ALL of you guys. Entertainment and info. LOL.
Cutting wood with a .40 Glock. It just doesn't get better than that. A very entertaining video if I say so.
as usual Eric you fixed it! i bet you take care of your saw better now, and ya sure made quick work of the downed tree. Kool deal on this fix video! Nicely done Eric. thanks for peek into the workings of your saw.
No need to go to the gym after this day of work! Same with me, doing stuff around the home with repairs and clean up is a marathon. 2 hours at the gym or 8 to 10 hours at home fixing and cleaning stuff? Good video Eric, keep up the good work.
I like that about the fuel pump relay
Love the area you live in. I'm born and raised CT Yankee and we spent a lot of time camping in the Catskills.
Great Video Eric! It does not pay to mess with rebuilding the old carb at that price. I lived in New York State for 20 years and this video brought back great memories.
***** Kinda what I figured... $22 bucks... why bother...
great video Eric. your videos save me a ton of money. 2 kids driving cars now and a DYI. glad to see your a gun guy too just wish your shop was in Waterloo Iowa so i could take the cars to you when it above me to fix them
Pull the choke lever on the carb and the linkage comes off , you don't need to remove the black shaft
Lost it at 'Forgot to pull the fuel pump relay' 😂😂😂
Right out of the box! Wow, ran great. I'm impressed. Thanks for the video. I see you're ready for trouble again.....
I was wondering if you pulled the fuel
pump relay. : )
Lol and hope he disconnected the Battery too ;)
arcdraw Well I will next time for sure!
When Mr. O said that I laughed so hard I think I peed myself a little.
Sorry I'm a little late in watching this but since I have a Stihl chainsaw it was most informative. Thanks for posting Eric. Plus now we know you split wood in your spare time!
For what it is worth, I found that when you don't use these engines for several months, you need to add to fuel stabilization fluid to keep the carb from fouling. GOOD JOB!
Now, I believe you when you say "if I can do it, you can do it too" :-) Seriously, I really enjoyed it and I don't even own any 2-stroke equipment and have no plans to ever get one either. I am still glad that you made this video and chopped all that wood by hand.
12vgs8606 Only way to split it. Good exercise :)
Those carbs are usually tuned right to "factory specs" right outta the wing wang carton.
I bought a wing wang carb (for a snowblower) and no gas was coming through. Turns out the mill bit they used broke off inside the fuel inlet. Luckily my time is not that valuable. Two hours later the new carb was as good as new.
Purchased similar one online $12.75- 20/30 replacement simple with All parts replaced and runs great
Could you post the link of the product you purchased? Seems like there are a ton of different vendors for the parts. Thank you and Great vid!!!
Hey enjoy your show. I've learned a lot. I have 7 peaces of Stihl equipment, some are 20 years old. They work but use gamut on your old carb I bet it will clean it ou
Universal carb for multiple implements. Gotta love it.
Teryl fixes all has a great video on this great small engine repairman
Always entertaining Bro, love the smell of 2 stroke in the morning.
This was more fun than the car repair videos man. I laughed my arse off on this. You should do more small engines just for grins.
enjoyed the video thanks for all your knowledge and passing it along
Kelly t 7
Eric,(another one) Now you are in my bailiwick. Good job. For not having accomplished this task before you did well.It started easy because some of the spray cleaner made it's way into the cylinder. I would save the old carb for references.Beautiful area.Any moose or bear in this area? I noticed the holster you were wearing.People do not have any idea how scenic Upstate NY is. Makes me homesick.Great video, thanks for sharing, Ken
kenskip1 Upstate is gorgeous! We have black bears but no Moose here
If you make it through life with all your fingers and toes you really accomplish something. Said the working man.
Thanks for the vid Eric. Look forward to carb updates.
Ahhh the use of my analogy again for cheap parts, "wing wang" nice job man. Glad someone out there can actually make use of the cheapo wing wang stuff!
Chad Buckwalter Yes sir you are the owner of the WING WANG saying , my hat tips to you!
Best to clean the screen in the muffler at this time. Use can even use your BrakeKleen on it. Make yourself happy!
Use True Fuel in all of your equipment and you will no longer have them troubles. Even use it in my 4 cycle engines.
Fun to watch ,love the outdoors .winter is a killer here in Canada I can't wait for summer.
Thank you for your excellent tutelage.
I was gonna install a carb on my chainsaw after watching this. Then I remembered it's electric.
I've been using AVgas in my Stihl equipment @ 50-1 mix. Haven't burnt it up yet. Starts every time and wont go bad as fast as the ethanol crap
Similar situation with an old Craftsman lawnmower which would dump out all the fuel from the tank to the body. I found a carburetor online for $15. It needs some tuning, as the throttle linkage is wobbly, but I don't have gas spilling out of the tank anymore. If I made my living using small engine tools, I'd go with a higher quality part. But for moderate/light homeowner use, it should pull its own weight.
the super fine screen air filter is called a st.hellens filter as in my saint helens after the eruption on my birthday .there was thousands of acres of timber blown down. that was ash covered. when they logged of the timber the ash destroyed the chainsaws and equipment. so they developed the screen it stops smaller material than the typical air filter and is cleanable.
as far as your saw his that's a lower quality made for home owners as opposed to the pro saws. I found its better to pay up and get a pro saw . they are faster and more durable .
