Nice to see someone doing high level rebuilding with the same tools I have, mostly. No $40,000 Snap on collection. Bravo! it's brains, not dollars. Love watching your diagnostic skills.
I love your videos. You don't speed through everything like most guys do. I was holding my breath during the diaphragm removal. Thought for sure it was going to tear. Keep up the great videos. You are the man! You can get anything running. Every time I see your videos, I want to dive into every machine in my shop and get them all working again. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks Mustie1 for this one. I've watched a ton of your videos, but this one finally gave me the confidence to starting messing with my 3-year dead chainsaw. Ended up replacing the carb, fuel lines, fuel line weight, primer bulb, and spark plug...then figured out how to initially set the H/L. And with the help of your video I was able to dial in the H/L needles to where the saw now runs great. So thanks again and keep them coming!!!
You're one of the few I've seen that actually makes me feel present. The way you talk to the audience is gold. You even apologize for bumping into us (the camera).
Jonathan W, imagine seeing you here sir. Last time I saw you commenting on a video it was someone much less mechanically sympathetic than Darrin I was about to comment that it's looking like a very user friendly saw as far as maintenance/repairs go, @Mustie1 that spring around the fuel line is not so much a retainer as intended to keep some tension on it while allowing the user to simply flick off the pipe with a flat screwdriver. I'd bet that the official tool kit for completely stripping/rebuilding that comprised a spark plug spanner, flat screwdriver & a 5 or 6mm allen key. Designed for quick and easy carb cleaning, plug swaps and even barrel/piston swaps etc in the woods.
Possibly, all metal would have been nicer but given that the usual sources aren't awash with cheap and plentiful replacements I'd suggest it's not a common failure. I think it could be related to how packed with dirt it was, or one of the dogs sticking.
I have a 1985 450. This model looks older than that. Mine has a two piece handle. Makes fixing the trigger and safety a lot easier. I bought it New and it’s still runs awesome! Great saws back in the day.
I have had two Jonsered chainsaws over the years, one 910E, one of their bigger saws and a smaller one, forget the I.D. numbers. They have both been extremely good saws that lost favor in the woods due to problems with fallers pulling the rear handle off when pulling hard on the handle. The anti vibration system would come apart. I remembered that, and avoided reefing on the handle and never had any issues. That problem was on the bigger saws only. My neighbor traveled to Sweden and went to the Husqvarna factory and at that point in time they were running two assembly lines. One line was producing Husqvarna's, the other was producing Jonsered. I have found, many of the parts are interchangeable when working on the saws over the years. I have no idea if they are still related at the present time. Nick, North West Farmer
The name is pronouced "yon sir reds". I bought a new one in 1979 and ran it for 25 years without any major repairs. Like this one mine finally had a bad carb. It was a light and very fast saw. I even put a 20" bar on it and it worked. Nice vid which brought back great memories, thanks.
Thank you again for a great video. I said before I so appreciate that you are not full of yourself and are honest when you are not sure about the part or process on how it works and you admit that which allows watchers to learn right alongside of you. So many people would never admit a lack of knowledge especially during a tear down.
Awesome! Love to see the old stuff run again! I still have my Dads old Homelite XL ( 1960 sumthin with the manual oil pump) no hand guard, no chain brake, but i swear that heavy sucker cuts better than my Stihl 261... thanks for the video!
Though my body aches something awful from a flu bug, watching your video somehow provides medicine. Thanks for the time to share your skills with the world. From Vancouver, Canada.
Man! You are a great teacher. When you took that carb and moved it around so we could see the little flap valves, the lights came on in my brain. Well done! And, "Godt nyt år!" from Kristiansand, Norway.
"YOU SUCK!" "I WIN!" ... Your comments are priceless!!! And your patience and diagnostic skills are tremendous. I love your vids. I always learn something from your tricks. Thank you.
Ever notice that Mustie never sems to get frustrated or angry? I thought the handle would test his patience, but I've seen him in much more frustrating situations and he is always calm and happy.
I like to imagine that Mustie started his channel by accident; He needed to record the disassembly of his projects so he could have a reference for reinstalling all the parts and pieces later. He’s smart on a whole nuther level
My dad has that same chain sharpener. He wore it out to the point of needing bearing and brushes - still available today for pretty cheap. But he beat up his so bad the switch broke - now its hardwired and just has a big wood plug where the switch was. Even after all the abuse, he stills says it the best sharpener he has ever used.
I have a similar Jonsered, bought new about 30 years ago from a local dealer here in Southern Maine. It has been a great saw, as long as sawdust and chips are cleaned out often. I get a lot of comments when I go in for parts and supplies, "that old saw still running?" They made a good saw back then; It will still be running long after I'm gone!
A good way to fix plastic parts is to use a solder iron or plastic welder and melt in some electrical wire across the crack. I prefer to use electrical wires with finer strands. you can use a bit of glue to hold the pieces together while you're melting in the wire and if needed a wet cold rag on the other side of the weld can help keep the parts original shape if the part gets too warm
Last time I mowed my lawn I found a '60 Ford Fairlane 500 I had forgotten about. So it does pay to mow the lawn once in a while. Still haven't cleaned off the workbench since the Viet Nam war.
When tuning the high side, you want to er on the rich side. Listen for the 4 stroking sound, or a miss if you will. It should clean up when you put it in wood. Good job figuring out the operator present safety switch!
I just want to say mustie you are a legend. Back when I started watching your channel it was all about the air cooled vw stuff but it’s much more than that. On any given day I kno I can look forward to searching your channel and watching videos. You really cover every aspect of being a DIY man amongst men. I can search your channel and learn stuff about many aspects of being and enthusiast/ general motor head and come out learning stuff i never would have thought of. Thanks mustie you make the long days of trying to figure out my lot in life a lot easier!
I am a simple man, I see a new Mustie upload I fire up the UA-cam app on my TV, make some coffee, grab some cookies, turn the lights low, sit back and get comfortable, grab the cat and plonk him on my lap, let out a big contented sigh and press play... Have a great New Year Mustie 😍
Yes, Jonsered is now a part of Husqvarna. Apparently they are still good saws, but slightly cheaper than their brother. I've not tried one yet, though. I'm happy with Husky!
You are the man! I learn a lot and learned a lot watching your videos. I even got my lawn mower running great thanks to you. Keep up the great work! Happy New Year!!!!
Mustie1 you have done it again! What a delightful, charming, entertaining and educational video. You have a natural ability and charisma for this . Looking so much forward to the next one. Thank you very much and I wish you and your family a healhty and happy new year.
Dale Fry I don't have a carb hammer,yet. Funny,I just pulled the bowl off a Mikuni and one of the posts was broken and I thought the guy used the wrong hammer!
My dad was one of the first dealers for Jonsereds in eastern Wisconsin. He was a Logger and saw them at the logging Congress on Green Bay. A few Weeks later a package arrived and it was a brand new 80. The agreement was to use it for a year and then they would come back for his opinion of it. He always used the biggest Homelite or McCulloch saws available back then. 60-70’s that were the best options. In less than a day he fell in love with that saw. It always started, light weight compared to others and anti vibration handles. At the end of the year they came back to meet with him. He purchased the saw from them and they offered him the dealership for our area. So we started selling chain saws, mostly to other Loggers, municipals, Tree trimmers and farmers. Later he started selling to more public people. Just a small area in our 2 car garage where he kept new saws and anything they needed. They were years ahead of most others at the time and a good 80 with a skilled operator was hard to beat. Switched to the Husqvarna’s in later years but both great saws. Both Swedish saws of high quality.
Jonsered is owned by Husqvarna and they are actually Husqvarna saws under the hood. Still good saws in my opinion. But I am biased, I used to work at Husqvarna R&D dept.
Frig snacks Sir. We ran the distribution and race saws for husky in MN. We would port and polish in the mobile home between gigs. I still have my sthil still killer that looks stock. We called it a b rebuild. Had some Boyz taking down a cottonwood. Bzzzz. I just dropped it. Felled with style. Timber! Meh not even fire wood. Happy New Year.
I sold my dad's old Rancher 61 for 250 bucks after he died, about 30 dollars less than he paid for it. I know the inflation rate means that 250 would be about 100 bucks in 1980 money but it still ran after sitting 4 years in a coastal town
I've had a beer so imma pause and say I absolutely love your estimated guesses for probable things that have happened to an item in its life. "let's just say 10 years". Love it. Keep doing you man
here's a tip that might prove useful for you and others. Use THIN superglue and baking soda. it dries almost instantly, and is very strong. the material can then be machined, or sanded into perfect shape. I use a super glue I got off ebay, I forget the name at the moment, but it's not the stuff you buy in stores, it's sure nuff stick youf fingers together kind, very strong on it's own, but the baking soda adds material and hardens it. They use the same method to fix dings in carbon fiber helicopter blades, so it is strong. Also, I sometimes use the epoxy putty to replace material until it sets up, it can be shaped, and once hard can be machined or sanded into shape as well, but it's sometimes easier to use than the baking soda and super glue method, especially when making complex parts.
@@dalesworld1308 not only does it have to be strong but the really thin CA works best with the baking soda. You can put the soda on first actually, then soak with the thin glue.
@@bloodreighn I use Bob Smith industries super thin super glue. However I find their thicker glue better for simply sticking the parts together. by the way, you can use just a little glue and soda, then build it up to where you want it that usually makes for an easier time shaping it. I used the epoxy putty to repair the leg of a ceramic carousel horse that was missing. When my wife, an artist in her own right got done painting it you could not tell it wasn't original However I documented the process with photos and showed the photos when I listed it on ebay It sold, and the lady was very happy to get it. She had one that was destroyed in a fire.
I had to learn them inside and out and sharpening at correct angles to get my chainsaw license (not really a license to use a chainsaw but to fell small to medium Tree's the UK is a wierd place to live)
An hour long mustie video!! That’s gonna take a couple cups of coffee. You’re channel is my favorite on UA-cam. Thank you for the knowledge you share mang 👍🏻
Still not understanding why Mustie's videos get thumb's down? And especially so soon after publication? These are great videos. Maybe from people who feel he's not doing things "properly" in their minds? They should just leave him alone! Thumb's up from me. Happy New Year!
It does not matter Google looks at it exactly the same, it is a response and that is all they care about. A lot of people know this and all they do is hit the thumbs down knowing full well it is the same as hitting thumbs up.
Good work. I stuck with you for the whole hour and then some. And I am glad. I like your work. You are practical, you keep a civil tongue in your head, and I enjoyed watching you work. You need some needle nose pliars. Very small ones.
Liquid super glue and immediately a complete coverage of baking soda on top of the super glue will make a rock hard adhesive that can be filed or sanded.
my father had a jonesred saw I used to cut wood with,They are extremely fast saws.They usually run 1000 to 1500 rpm faster than any saw on the market.I had a friend using a huskavarna same cc motor and I could out cut him 4 to 1 with a dull chain.The down fall to jonesred was the air intake system would plug up very quick and then it would suck crap into cyclinder and burn up.
That's quite a story bro, being that Jonsereds were made by Husky from 1997 to 2010 and used the same aircleaner and cooling fan particulate filter Husky used.
Jonsered in the past was a good brand, we sold them for years, along with husqvarna and echo- all were great products- the echo every single power product made by them is flawless, made in Japan, husqvarna great saws going towards the top end of the range, although now are heading towards electronic engine management, but still good saws although they also sell cheap gpcrap with plastic casing, so when the clutch heats up by a blunt chain it melts so engine is a bust. Husqvarna used to be made everything in Sweden, some still are, but have moved to Poland to reduce costs. Jonsered now a days are all crap
No Jonsered are not "...all crap", they are very similar to Husqvarnas made in the same factory with many interchangeable parts. I bought a pro-grade Jonsered (Ulticor) 52cc a couple of years ago and it cuts very well, the only thing I do not like on any modern saw is the autotune carb system which means they have to be tuned by plugging them into a computer programme...I prefer to do things the old way. It is a fact though, that many larger chainsaw manufacturers (such as Stihl, Husqvarna, Homelite) have entry level, 'home owner' saws, some of those are very cheaply made and don't last too long. They are often manufactured in China.
@@fritzdoerring9058 The old all metal saws with simple technology can lasr generations, but many people today do not like the heavy weight, neither do they know how to maintain things themselves.
Oh, one of these strange Tillotson Models... I got one close to that on a Sihl 038, never got it to work right. Swapped it out to a also fitting Tilllotson from another series. Works like a charm. All the best to you guys, have a nice day
so I notice how to tighten the chain, I worked in the woods for some time logging, how I have been shown is you pull up on the chain, that pulls the bar up as well, when the chain is right then you tighten the bar.
When I did tree work, we would hold the nose of the bar up with the left hand, and tighten the chain with the screwdriver in the right hand. Then, before you tighten the bar, you pull the chain around with your gloved hand. The chain should pull easily with very little slack showing on the bottom. Then, tighten the bar. As the chain gets warm, it expands and gets more slack.
In the movie American Graffiti when Falfa and Milner finally meet Falfa is trying to describe the color of Milner's cars as "a mix of piss yellow and puke green".
I got a free mini chainsaw for trimming, made in the 1950's. Ended up being a complete junker but I did get one pop out if it. It was pretty spectacular because when it did it broke the flywheel key, snapped the starting rope, and snapped the connecting rod. It looked to have a lot of hours on it so my guess was it was on it's last legs the last it was used.
Mustie1... I loved watching you bring that chainsaw back to life in a few hours, but that shot of the burger is just unmitigated EVIL... especially since my Doc has told me that I can't have anything like that but once every 90 days (or more)... *sigh* it sucks to get older.... lol Now all I can think of is the taste of a well made, grease dripping, burger with some homestyle fries on the side and a big homemade vanilla shake... Ok... now I need a drool cup and towels.... Btw... HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family!! Looking forward to many more videos from you in 2019!!
My first saw is a 520 SP. Bought it used and re furbished like you did, and i have not been able to wreck it after 35 years of misuse. In the meantime i have had Stihl, Mcculluch, Husqvarna, and they have all been thrown out. I bought a 920, and it's the hardest working saw one can get. Now i bye from the 21XX serie, but they are hard to get to. they are wanted around here, and expensive even used.
I HAD MULTYPLE CHAINSAWS OF ALL KINDS IN MY FISHING RESORT, "JOHNSORED" WAS ONE OF THE BEST, AND SO WAS MY "HUSQUARNA" I BELIEVE , THEY WHERE BOTH FROM SWEEDEN.
Yes, both Jonsered and Husqvarna are Swedish brands and both named directly after the towns in which they were founded. Jonsered is now a brand of the Husqvarna Group and the factory in Jonsered was closed in 1984 and the production of Jonsered chainsaws was moved to Husqvarna. But Husqvarna still maintains an R&D unit in Jonsered. Husqvarna was founded all the way back in 1689 as a state-owned rifle factory and Jonsered was founded 1834 by a Scotsman in Sweden primarily making sail canvas. Both companies started making chain saws in the 1950s. The Husqvarna Group owns other chainsaw brands like McCulloch and PoulanPro too.
@@ITubeTooInc Makes sense. Jonsered produced waterproof tarps, covers and firehoses and in the 50`s started make chainsaw and cranes for logging. Jonsered's engineers was also involved in the development of the bearing. SKF (Swedish Bearing Factory) has its factories 5 miles down the stream from Jonsered's Factories 1978 Electrolux Home appliance bought Husqvarna for their kitchenaids and the brand was kept. In somehow chainsaws got into that department and Electrolux also bought Jonsered and Partner brand to merge them in to the company. Crane division was sold to Hiab-Foco. Husqvarna sold the Motorcycle department in 1987 to Italian Cagiva. 2007 it was sold to BMW and 2013 to KTM. 2006 Husqvarna was branched off from Electrolux to become an incorporated company and took back the old logo from 1973 and reworked it to fit in the 21st century
That chainsaw is a doozie now, as one of my old mates would say :-D The tiny carbs can be almost impossible to fix if they have blockages, it's often better to just buy a new one. Mustie1 The chainsaw whisperer :-)
I agree that these diaphragm type carbs are difficult to fix. I never got one to run normal again and usually donate my old blowers/ trimmers to the local High School shop class 👍🏻
Only if you aren't familiar with them. You need to find a repair shop that sells pumper carb rebuild kits. With the right rebuild kit, this carb will run like new.
Modern jonsered aren't just a name on a cheaper saw , they are rebadged Husqvarnas built with all the exact same internal engine and working parts but slightly different shaped external plastics . They are phenomenal saws I bought one 5 years ago and beat the piss outta that thing cutting and bucking up 25-30 trees each spring for firewood with this saw and it never needed anything except the chain sharpened and a few spark plugs, I ran the hell outta that saw, it was very powerful for it's weight and size , it's weight and size also making it very comfortable to use. It ran great until I dropped a 50ft red oak on it accidentally and fractured most of the body in numerous places , also broke a few engine componemt so it was not saveable. I replaced it with a pair of saws I bought used together as a package , I got a '98 model 41 Husqvarna with a broken fuel line and a 01 Husqvarna 55 rancher that needed a piston and rings both saws together for # $160. I got an OEM husqvarna piston snd rings for the 55 rancher for $30 then threw a tune up kit and chain on it with a smaller 18" bar as I don't use 20" bars. The model 41 I replaced the fuel lines for $5 then threw a tune up kit at it along with a Husqvarna narrow kurf 16" bar and narrow kurf chisel chain. The narrow kurf has a huge cutting speed improvement because it's narrower in width so by cutting a harrower path through the wood it has less contact area causing friction which gives you more power and cutting speed, I finished off the model 41 by retuning the carburator after modifying the muffler to a dual port muffler which woke the saw up substantially . I still have those tow saws and both run great but I don't use them much now as I got a fantastic deal on a new Husqvarna model 440 from my friend at the local dealer, this is a 41cc saw making 2.4 hp , came with an 18" bar on it but I had him swap it out to a 16" narrow kurf pixel bar and chain before I bought it as I ain't running an 18" bar on a 41cc saw. It only weights 9?7 pounds which is super light for a chainsaw so the power to weight ratio is phenomenal with this saw and the balance is also great with the 16" bar. I just recently finished breaking the saw in last month and noticed it began making a noticeable more amount of power upon breaking in. Two weeks ago because I can't leave anything stock and have to modify every thing that has an engine in some way , I took out my drill and Dremel and bored a second port in the muffler and mounted a deflector shield from an old junk saw over the new port now making it a dual port muffler , I obviously retuned the carburator the match the increased exhaust flow. I also added an NGK spark plug to it and threw out the stock junk champion plug, the last mod I did was swap out the fabric air filter for a better flowing mesh style air filter. Between all these mods the 440 almost could outcut my 55 rancher at this point in fact I bet it probably would. I only STRICTLY run nothing but 95 octane ethanol free premixed Husqvarna XP premix fuel in all my saws and will never ever put anything but ethanol freevfuel in all my 2 Stokes that I own. it makes the world of difference man I honestly cringe and get very annoyed when I see people using pump gas in there chainsaws and other two strokes, it's negligence to do so and irresponsible practice for the equipments owner. Everybody should know how to properly treat and maintain their equipment . Hell kids can't even change a flat tire these days. I am a bodyman, auto mechanic welder and fabricator at a very high end auto body shop that does alot of very high dollar long term extremely extensive restorations on all sorts of classic cars . We also do a considerable amount of vehicle modifications and customizations of all different types as well as custom steel fabrication . I mean hell I've made an entire dump truck bed from scratch a few times in the last 5 years working where I do. an example of how high end the restorations we do are is we just finished a 69 camaro. 396 SS. We put the body on a rotisserie and sandblasted it inside and out alone with sandblasted the frame then did all the steel work. And began turning the car into a roller once it was primed with no supsension or underbody part that wasn't replaced brand new installed on that car we hot rodded the motor quite a bit when we built it and mated it to a temec 6speed manual which is a modern day trans . We minitubbed the rear. The sky was was limit on this car , the customer wanted it a very specific way. For reference of what kind of work we do this restoration cost $114,000 in the end and we had over 2,000 hours of labor into it. Two years ago we did a Plymouth roadrunner with a 440 6pack in it and this car was done in the same Manor ,from soup to nuts. This car was a $127,000 restoration that took over two years to complete and 2400 man labor hours. I appreciate anybody who knows how to not just wrench , anyone can do that, the real skill is in quick and correct initial diagnosis of the problem at hand that's what makes a good tech and separates them from the rest , as well does having an immense diversity to complete different tasks all over the spectrum that's another big deal. This guy had both these qualities and that's why I like watching his channel , it's cool to see somebody putting this stuff out there on UA-cam and someone who actually had the pride and balls to do so. I don't like people watching me work, I like to be left alone , don't talk to me and I won't talk to you kinda thing but to each there own.
I love these long-form videos - just saying - it's a great decompressor for me at the end of the day. your almost unflappable demeanor (regarding challenges) and the way you speak as if I'm there really makes me feel like I'm "hangin' out, wrenching with ya." lol :)
We were holding our breath with ya while installing that safety spring... That burger does look tasty. I like the build starting with the bacon on the bottom.
Around 1995 I got one of the last commercial McCullough saws it was a leftover at the NE distributor after they dropped the line when Muccullough out of business it was brand new but probably 5 years old never used when I got. I loved that saw I used it so much I wore out the bar... Twice! I still have it, haven't started it in 10 years stopped using it when I couldn't get parts for it any more all I needed was a new air cleaner All metal no plastic and heavy but man it could cut all day
There should be a law preventing bigCorp from buying brands and cheapening them out to eat the fat from them. We're gonna run out of good brands and no new ones will pop out in this utterly desert like competition that's been transformed in a buffet for fat CEOs and shoddy investors with questionable worth.
aserta there will always be a market for a quality version on something and as long as there is a market their will be a manufacturer, whether it be big or small.
Nice to see someone doing high level rebuilding with the same tools I have, mostly. No $40,000 Snap on collection. Bravo! it's brains, not dollars. Love watching your diagnostic skills.

He is te AvE of mechanics
Thanks Mustie1 for this one. I've watched a ton of your videos, but this one finally gave me the confidence to starting messing with my 3-year dead chainsaw. Ended up replacing the carb, fuel lines, fuel line weight, primer bulb, and spark plug...then figured out how to initially set the H/L. And with the help of your video I was able to dial in the H/L needles to where the saw now runs great. So thanks again and keep them coming!!!
Same with me. Have a McCullough that needs some cleaning and carb work to run
You're one of the few I've seen that actually makes me feel present. The way you talk to the audience is gold. You even apologize for bumping into us (the camera).
I worked at a Jonsered / Dixon dealer when I was 17, I use to build saws from left over junk parts when I had time. Jonsered made very good saws.
Jonathan W, imagine seeing you here sir. Last time I saw you commenting on a video it was someone much less mechanically sympathetic than Darrin I was about to comment that it's looking like a very user friendly saw as far as maintenance/repairs go, @Mustie1 that spring around the fuel line is not so much a retainer as intended to keep some tension on it while allowing the user to simply flick off the pipe with a flat screwdriver. I'd bet that the official tool kit for completely stripping/rebuilding that comprised a spark plug spanner, flat screwdriver & a 5 or 6mm allen key. Designed for quick and easy carb cleaning, plug swaps and even barrel/piston swaps etc in the woods.
That plastic pull start looks like a design flaw though.
Possibly, all metal would have been nicer but given that the usual sources aren't awash with cheap and plentiful replacements I'd suggest it's not a common failure. I think it could be related to how packed with dirt it was, or one of the dogs sticking.
I had a jonserd turbo was an awsome saw
Too bad Jonsred = tuned into cheap shit saw brand of late, they are focusing on Husqvarna in stead.
I have a 1985 450. This model looks older than that. Mine has a two piece handle. Makes fixing the trigger and safety a lot easier. I bought it New and it’s still runs awesome! Great saws back in the day.
Love watching over your shoulder. Your videos are fantastic. I love it when you ask what I think. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
I love watchin you revive them engines! Thanks for teaching me what you can
I have had two Jonsered chainsaws over the years, one 910E, one of their bigger saws and a smaller one, forget the I.D. numbers.

I've probably watched 6 or 7 videos about sharpening chains and gained all I needed to know in your 2 minute extra. You're a magician sir. Thank you
thanks for continuing the videos for so many years.
Seconded. I'll also add that I love these longer videos.
The name is pronouced "yon sir reds". I bought a new one in 1979 and ran it for 25 years without any major repairs. Like this one mine finally had a bad carb. It was a light and very fast saw. I even put a 20" bar on it and it worked. Nice vid which brought back great memories, thanks.
Wow! Props on getting the trigger lock spring working properly. You are the Master.
Thank you again for a great video. I said before I so appreciate that you are not full of yourself and are honest when you are not sure about the part or process on how it works and you admit that which allows watchers to learn right alongside of you. So many people would never admit a lack of knowledge especially during a tear down.
Awesome! Love to see the old stuff run again! I still have my Dads old Homelite XL ( 1960 sumthin with the manual oil pump) no hand guard, no chain brake, but i swear that heavy sucker cuts better than my Stihl 261... thanks for the video!
Though my body aches something awful from a flu bug, watching your video somehow provides medicine. Thanks for the time to share your skills with the world. From Vancouver, Canada.
Dehydrated Fuel ....53:44 " HA " :)....Excellent video , lots of tips & loved the tuning part...& the saw RIPS :)
I do like how you talk things out and act as if we are there with you. A good conversation to teach us.
Glad you enjoyed the lights I sent Mustie, they are hugely useful to me. Just a small thank you for the awesome videos.

Excellent teaching and trouble shooting video. Loved the editing when you installed the battery with four hands🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂👍👍👍 Can't wait for part 3
Man! You are a great teacher. When you took that carb and moved it around so we could see the little flap valves, the lights came on in my brain. Well done! And, "Godt nyt år!" from Kristiansand, Norway.
Helt enig 👍☝️
"YOU SUCK!" "I WIN!" ... Your comments are priceless!!! And your patience and diagnostic skills are tremendous. I love your vids. I always learn something from your tricks. Thank you.
Ever notice that Mustie never sems to get frustrated or angry? I thought the handle would test his patience, but I've seen him in much more frustrating situations and he is always calm and happy.
I would not be so calm!
The same saw built my log house and cut scores of cords of firewood. New in 1985. Retired after 30 years of service. Great saws.
I like to imagine that Mustie started his channel by accident; He needed to record the disassembly of his projects so he could have a reference for reinstalling all the parts and pieces later. He’s smart on a whole nuther level
My dad has that same chain sharpener. He wore it out to the point of needing bearing and brushes - still available today for pretty cheap.
But he beat up his so bad the switch broke - now its hardwired and just has a big wood plug where the switch was.
Even after all the abuse, he stills says it the best sharpener he has ever used.
I have a similar Jonsered, bought new about 30 years ago from a local dealer here in Southern Maine. It has been a great saw, as long as sawdust and chips are cleaned out often. I get a lot of comments when I go in for parts and supplies, "that old saw still running?" They made a good saw back then; It will still be running long after I'm gone!
I really like my old Jonsered, I paid $200 used, money well spent. Happy New Year, Thanks for all the stuff I learned this year, and the fun!
A good way to fix plastic parts is to use a solder iron or plastic welder and melt in some electrical wire across the crack. I prefer to use electrical wires with finer strands. you can use a bit of glue to hold the pieces together while you're melting in the wire and if needed a wet cold rag on the other side of the weld can help keep the parts original shape if the part gets too warm
“HA - I win!” 👍 excellent video on chain saw engine and general maintenance.
"It's a nice green morning piss yellow, but I've seen worse..."
I feel ya, I've had those mornings, too! :)
You're doing well if you don't have get up in the night for a piss!
Especially if you had some adult beverages the night before 😆
I had exactly that colour one week after doing some work on the nuclear power palnt, now one year later it's normal so no worries
Thank you very much for showing how to sharpen the blades on a chainsaw. Very good demo.
Mustie...you cleaned ur bench! The things u do for us. ⚙️
once a year if it needs it or not
@@mustie1 - And now you'll spend the next month looking for things that were "right there"
GutshotGriz I found an old semi u joint on mine, I replaced it a year ago
Last time I mowed my lawn I found a '60 Ford Fairlane 500 I had forgotten about. So it does pay to mow the lawn once in a while.
Still haven't cleaned off the workbench since the Viet Nam war.
These vids are a really good sign that keeping up on maintenance is so important in keeping your machine/equipment running correctly and efficiently
When tuning the high side, you want to er on the rich side. Listen for the 4 stroking sound, or a miss if you will. It should clean up when you put it in wood. Good job figuring out the operator present safety switch!
I just want to say mustie you are a legend. Back when I started watching your channel it was all about the air cooled vw stuff but it’s much more than that. On any given day I kno I can look forward to searching your channel and watching videos. You really cover every aspect of being a DIY man amongst men. I can search your channel and learn stuff about many aspects of being and enthusiast/ general motor head and come out learning stuff i never would have thought of. Thanks mustie you make the long days of trying to figure out my lot in life a lot easier!
I am a simple man, I see a new Mustie upload I fire up the UA-cam app on my TV, make some coffee, grab some cookies, turn the lights low, sit back and get comfortable, grab the cat and plonk him on my lap, let out a big contented sigh and press play... Have a great New Year Mustie 😍
Yes, Jonsered is now a part of Husqvarna. Apparently they are still good saws, but slightly cheaper than their brother. I've not tried one yet, though. I'm happy with Husky!
You are the man! I learn a lot and learned a lot watching your videos. I even got my lawn mower running great thanks to you. Keep up the great work! Happy New Year!!!!
Mustie1
you have done it again! What a delightful, charming, entertaining and educational video. You have a natural ability and charisma for this . Looking so much forward to the next one. Thank you very much and I wish you and your family a healhty and happy new year.
it's OK Mustie.. i was holding my breath for you as you were peeling off the Carb Diaphragms.. glad to help, Happy New Year from Scotland
888johnmac Pre heat the carb with a hair dryer.
And then hit it with a heavy hammer....do you have one?
Dale Fry I don't have a carb hammer,yet.
Funny,I just pulled the bowl off a Mikuni and one of the posts was broken and I thought the guy used the wrong hammer!
Dale Fry I did preheat those Mikuni carbs before disassembly. The carbs were outside ,-5F.
My dad was one of the first dealers for Jonsereds in eastern Wisconsin. He was a Logger and saw them at the logging Congress on Green Bay. A few Weeks later a package arrived and it was a brand new 80. The agreement was to use it for a year and then they would come back for his opinion of it. He always used the biggest Homelite or McCulloch saws available back then. 60-70’s that were the best options. In less than a day he fell in love with that saw. It always started, light weight compared to others and anti vibration handles. At the end of the year they came back to meet with him. He purchased the saw from them and they offered him the dealership for our area. So we started selling chain saws, mostly to other Loggers, municipals, Tree trimmers and farmers. Later he started selling to more public people. Just a small area in our 2 car garage where he kept new saws and anything they needed. They were years ahead of most others at the time and a good 80 with a skilled operator was hard to beat. Switched to the Husqvarna’s in later years but both great saws. Both Swedish saws of high quality.
I love the way you interact with the us (camera)...I have even caught myself answering you back when you say something :)
PS: Happy New Year!
Nice job .....that saw was very popular years ago in the forestry industry...thanks...I’m subscribing!
Jonsered is owned by Husqvarna and they are actually Husqvarna saws under the hood. Still good saws in my opinion. But I am biased, I used to work at Husqvarna R&D dept.
Frig snacks Sir. We ran the distribution and race saws for husky in MN. We would port and polish in the mobile home between gigs. I still have my sthil still killer that looks stock. We called it a b rebuild. Had some Boyz taking down a cottonwood. Bzzzz. I just dropped it. Felled with style. Timber! Meh not even fire wood. Happy New Year.
So is all the plastic your fault? ;o)
David Österberg Do you have any stories of cool stuff that never made it to production?
Tom, can you write that again in English please.@@tomtheplummer7322
I sold my dad's old Rancher 61 for 250 bucks after he died, about 30 dollars less than he paid for it. I know the inflation rate means that 250 would be about 100 bucks in 1980 money but it still ran after sitting 4 years in a coastal town
I've had a beer so imma pause and say I absolutely love your estimated guesses for probable things that have happened to an item in its life. "let's just say 10 years". Love it. Keep doing you man
Love your work. Nice Blues Brothers reference.... “Glue....Strong stuff."
Nice saw!! Not junk anymore! Just done this exact self same thing as a result. It's amazing what people throw out.
"morning piss yellow" you should name crayons...
That is 4 shades lighter than baby shit yellow

😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😎
Camera is OK nice motor great video thank you five stars my friend
Coffee with Mustie... Gonna be a good day.. IT WILL RUN. Teach will make it so...Happy new year !,,,
Sunday special brew mug is almost empty, video only half way done.
What to do?
I concur with David Wallac below. Excellent video and easy to follow. Thanks so much.
here's a tip that might prove useful for you and others. Use THIN superglue and baking soda. it dries almost instantly, and is very strong. the material can then be machined, or sanded into perfect shape. I use a super glue I got off ebay, I forget the name at the moment, but it's not the stuff you buy in stores, it's sure nuff stick youf fingers together kind, very strong on it's own, but the baking soda adds material and hardens it. They use the same method to fix dings in carbon fiber helicopter blades, so it is strong.
Also, I sometimes use the epoxy putty to replace material until it sets up, it can be shaped, and once hard can be machined or sanded into shape as well, but it's sometimes easier to use than the baking soda and super glue method, especially when making complex parts.
Brodak makes a good CA.
@@dalesworld1308 not only does it have to be strong but the really thin CA works best with the baking soda. You can put the soda on first actually, then soak with the thin glue.
Oooh thats interesting, ill give it a try!
@@bloodreighn I use Bob Smith industries super thin super glue. However I find their thicker glue better for simply sticking the parts together. by the way, you can use just a little glue and soda, then build it up to where you want it that usually makes for an easier time shaping it. I used the epoxy putty to repair the leg of a ceramic carousel horse that was missing. When my wife, an artist in her own right got done painting it you could not tell it wasn't original However I documented the process with photos and showed the photos when I listed it on ebay It sold, and the lady was very happy to get it. She had one that was destroyed in a fire.
toot tall also, store CA in your freezer. It will last dramatically longer (no moisture)
Mustie you sir are a hero!!! I’m glad you showed the engineering behind that saw ! I would not buy one the way that throttle is designed!
I had to learn them inside and out and sharpening at correct angles to get my chainsaw license (not really a license to use a chainsaw but to fell small to medium Tree's the UK is a wierd place to live)
Mustie1 i love the hour long videos, great content. 👍👍👍
An hour long mustie video!! That’s gonna take a couple cups of coffee. You’re channel is my favorite on UA-cam. Thank you for the knowledge you share mang 👍🏻
Still not understanding why Mustie's videos get thumb's down? And especially so soon after publication? These are great videos. Maybe from people who feel he's not doing things "properly" in their minds? They should just leave him alone! Thumb's up from me. Happy New Year!
I bet the thumbs down came from a bunch of vegans....
I mean, did you see that delicious cow carcass on that bun at the end?
mmmmmmmm bur-ger
Or a freak that's mad cause somebody cut a tree.
There are some folks who will never be happy.
Those types who troll, never satisfied.
Theirs is a miserable existence.
Jealous people!!
It does not matter Google looks at it exactly the same, it is a response and that is all they care about. A lot of people know this and all they do is hit the thumbs down knowing full well it is the same as hitting thumbs up.
Good work. I stuck with you for the whole hour and then some. And I am glad.
I like your work. You are practical, you keep a civil tongue in your head, and I enjoyed watching you work.
You need some needle nose pliars. Very small ones.
Mustie doing his own dance when pulling the saw over
OMG....Thought you was going to slice that Hamburger...LOL Top Job Fella..Thanks for the tutorials.
Liquid super glue and immediately a complete coverage of baking soda on top of the super glue will make a rock hard adhesive that can be filed or sanded.
Wow, I knew I loved baking soda for all of its goodness,but that is true I'll be in my own personal heaven.😊 thank you!
Thanks for that bit of knowledge. I hadn't heard of that.
my father had a jonesred saw I used to cut wood with,They are extremely fast saws.They usually run 1000 to 1500 rpm faster than any saw on the market.I had a friend using a huskavarna same cc motor and I could out cut him 4 to 1 with a dull chain.The down fall to jonesred was the air intake system would plug up very quick and then it would suck crap into cyclinder and burn up.
That's quite a story bro, being that Jonsereds were made by Husky from 1997 to 2010 and used the same aircleaner and cooling fan particulate filter Husky used.
Jonsered in the past was a good brand, we sold them for years, along with husqvarna and echo- all were great products- the echo every single power product made by them is flawless, made in Japan, husqvarna great saws going towards the top end of the range, although now are heading towards electronic engine management, but still good saws although they also sell cheap gpcrap with plastic casing, so when the clutch heats up by a blunt chain it melts so engine is a bust. Husqvarna used to be made everything in Sweden, some still are, but have moved to Poland to reduce costs. Jonsered now a days are all crap
No Jonsered are not "...all crap", they are very similar to Husqvarnas made in the same factory with many interchangeable parts. I bought a pro-grade Jonsered (Ulticor) 52cc a couple of years ago and it cuts very well, the only thing I do not like on any modern saw is the autotune carb system which means they have to be tuned by plugging them into a computer programme...I prefer to do things the old way. It is a fact though, that many larger chainsaw manufacturers (such as Stihl, Husqvarna, Homelite) have entry level, 'home owner' saws, some of those are very cheaply made and don't last too long. They are often manufactured in China.
@@fritzdoerring9058 The old all metal saws with simple technology can lasr generations, but many people today do not like the heavy weight, neither do they know how to maintain things themselves.
Thanks for letting me hang out in the shop this year. Best for the new year to you.
"Morning piss yellow" never saw that one in the crayola box.😂
Me nether
Oh, one of these strange Tillotson Models... I got one close to that on a Sihl 038, never got it to work right. Swapped it out to a also fitting Tilllotson from another series. Works like a charm. All the best to you guys, have a nice day
Watching Mustie with that air gun reminds me of my dentist. The difference is I enjoy seeing Mustie.
Mustie you are the WIZ. Luv watching your stuff. Thanks !!
so I notice how to tighten the chain, I worked in the woods for some time logging, how I have been shown is you pull up on the chain, that pulls the bar up as well, when the chain is right then you tighten the bar.
When I did tree work, we would hold the nose of the bar up with the left hand, and tighten the chain with the screwdriver in the right hand. Then, before you tighten the bar, you pull the chain around with your gloved hand. The chain should pull easily with very little slack showing on the bottom. Then, tighten the bar. As the chain gets warm, it expands and gets more slack.
Gosh, somehow this was very enjoyable to journey along with your logic and cleverness during this episode. Thanks for sharing!
Now for you to go out to the back woods in high heels and start singing "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay!"... :P
Pam!!! Pam!!! Pam!!!😲😲 I'm looking for pam.😆 . Mate good show! !! Lots to watch. I'm getting there!😆👍👍
Picked up an old Lombard 2 man saw, 125cc in Texas? gonna try to bring it back to life.
Those are hard on your back
How did it go?
Great video. I really enjoy watching you go through each step, big and small, mistakes and all, when you equipment back to life.
Morning piss yellow. 😂😂😂😂😂 wonder if they sell that at the paint store?
They don't call it yellow piss, buuuut.....
Trash, laughed my ass off at that comment too!
In the movie American Graffiti when Falfa and Milner finally meet Falfa is trying to describe the color of Milner's cars as "a mix of piss yellow and puke green".
It's on the same paint chip card as Baby Shit Green.
Never heard that one before- nearly ***t myself- you should be a comedian Mustie1- Great stuff
I got a free mini chainsaw for trimming, made in the 1950's. Ended up being a complete junker but I did get one pop out if it. It was pretty spectacular because when it did it broke the flywheel key, snapped the starting rope, and snapped the connecting rod. It looked to have a lot of hours on it so my guess was it was on it's last legs the last it was used.
Mustie1... I loved watching you bring that chainsaw back to life in a few hours, but that shot of the burger is just unmitigated EVIL... especially since my Doc has told me that I can't have anything like that but once every 90 days (or more)... *sigh* it sucks to get older.... lol Now all I can think of is the taste of a well made, grease dripping, burger with some homestyle fries on the side and a big homemade vanilla shake... Ok... now I need a drool cup and towels....
Btw... HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family!! Looking forward to many more videos from you in 2019!!
Well, kuddos to your determination anyway, I"m pretty sure my doctor will never get me to give up on hamburgers.
My life improved when I stopped listening to my doctor. Note I said life, not life span!
Evenso, Mustie1 probably have one of the lowest dislike to like-ratios on the whole YT.. :p
What is great about getting older is the fact that you are older! The other option sucks!
I love your videos! Every time I watch one, I learn something new! Just LOVE your shows! You are so patient with your equipment!
When I saw mustie’s burger at the end, that jimmy buffet song “cheese burger in paradise” popped in my head. Lol. Great vid
My first saw is a 520 SP. Bought it used and re furbished like you did, and i have not been able to wreck it after 35 years of misuse. In the meantime i have had Stihl, Mcculluch, Husqvarna, and they have all been thrown out. I bought a 920, and it's the hardest working saw one can get. Now i bye from the 21XX serie, but they are hard to get to. they are wanted around here, and expensive even used.
I HAD MULTYPLE CHAINSAWS OF ALL KINDS IN MY FISHING RESORT, "JOHNSORED" WAS ONE OF THE BEST, AND SO WAS MY "HUSQUARNA" I BELIEVE , THEY WHERE BOTH FROM SWEEDEN.
Sweden. Husqvarna. Jonsered. Multiple.
Yes, both Jonsered and Husqvarna are Swedish brands and both named directly after the towns in which they were founded.
Jonsered is now a brand of the Husqvarna Group and the factory in Jonsered was closed in 1984 and the production of Jonsered chainsaws was moved to Husqvarna. But Husqvarna still maintains an R&D unit in Jonsered.
Husqvarna was founded all the way back in 1689 as a state-owned rifle factory and Jonsered was founded 1834 by a Scotsman in Sweden primarily making sail canvas. Both companies started making chain saws in the 1950s.
The Husqvarna Group owns other chainsaw brands like McCulloch and PoulanPro too.
@@ITubeTooInc Makes sense. Jonsered produced waterproof tarps, covers and firehoses and in the 50`s started make chainsaw and cranes for logging. Jonsered's engineers was also involved in the development of the bearing.
SKF (Swedish Bearing Factory) has its factories 5 miles down the stream from Jonsered's Factories
1978 Electrolux Home appliance bought Husqvarna for their kitchenaids and the brand was kept. In somehow chainsaws got into that department and Electrolux also bought Jonsered and Partner brand to merge them in to the company. Crane division was sold to Hiab-Foco.
Husqvarna sold the Motorcycle department in 1987 to Italian Cagiva. 2007 it was sold to BMW and 2013 to KTM.
2006 Husqvarna was branched off from Electrolux to become an incorporated company and took back the old logo from 1973 and reworked it to fit in the 21st century
Hi from Bakersfield California. You yet once again are the man. Great video
That chainsaw is a doozie now, as one of my old mates would say :-D
The tiny carbs can be almost impossible to fix if they have blockages, it's often better to just buy a new one.
Mustie1 The chainsaw whisperer :-)
Yeah, those carbs are junk. I've never had so much trouble with a carburetor in my life. And even the new one is junk.
Ultrasonic cleaner!
I agree that these diaphragm type carbs are difficult to fix. I never got one to run normal again and usually donate my old blowers/ trimmers to the local High School shop class 👍🏻
zx8401ztv I used to think that way,I have a steam cleaner! You can still get them,supposed to be for cleaning bathrooms and such.
Only if you aren't familiar with them. You need to find a repair shop that sells pumper carb rebuild kits. With the right rebuild kit, this carb will run like new.
These videos make me want to fix something! Then I come to my senses and I grab another glass of wine.
..A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR'S..
Modern jonsered aren't just a name on a cheaper saw , they are rebadged Husqvarnas built with all the exact same internal engine and working parts but slightly different shaped external plastics . They are phenomenal saws I bought one 5 years ago and beat the piss outta that thing cutting and bucking up 25-30 trees each spring for firewood with this saw and it never needed anything except the chain sharpened and a few spark plugs, I ran the hell outta that saw, it was very powerful for it's weight and size , it's weight and size also making it very comfortable to use. It ran great until I dropped a 50ft red oak on it accidentally and fractured most of the body in numerous places , also broke a few engine componemt so it was not saveable. I replaced it with a pair of saws I bought used together as a package , I got a '98 model 41 Husqvarna with a broken fuel line and a 01 Husqvarna 55 rancher that needed a piston and rings both saws together for #
$160. I got an OEM husqvarna piston snd rings for the 55 rancher for $30 then threw a tune up kit and chain on it with a smaller 18" bar as I don't use 20" bars. The model 41 I replaced the fuel lines for $5 then threw a tune up kit at it along with a Husqvarna narrow kurf 16" bar and narrow kurf chisel chain. The narrow kurf has a huge cutting speed improvement because it's narrower in width so by cutting a harrower path through the wood it has less contact area causing friction which gives you more power and cutting speed, I finished off the model 41 by retuning the carburator after modifying the muffler to a dual port muffler which woke the saw up substantially . I still have those tow saws and both run great but I don't use them much now as I got a fantastic deal on a new Husqvarna model 440 from my friend at the local dealer, this is a 41cc saw making 2.4 hp , came with an 18" bar on it but I had him swap it out to a 16" narrow kurf pixel bar and chain before I bought it as I ain't running an 18" bar on a 41cc saw. It only weights 9?7 pounds which is super light for a chainsaw so the power to weight ratio is phenomenal with this saw and the balance is also great with the 16" bar. I just recently finished breaking the saw in last month and noticed it began making a noticeable more amount of power upon breaking in. Two weeks ago because I can't leave anything stock and have to modify every thing that has an engine in some way , I took out my drill and Dremel and bored a second port in the muffler and mounted a deflector shield from an old junk saw over the new port now making it a dual port muffler , I obviously retuned the carburator the match the increased exhaust flow. I also added an NGK spark plug to it and threw out the stock junk champion plug, the last mod I did was swap out the fabric air filter for a better flowing mesh style air filter. Between all these mods the 440 almost could outcut my 55 rancher at this point in fact I bet it probably would. I only STRICTLY run nothing but 95 octane ethanol free premixed Husqvarna XP premix fuel in all my saws and will never ever put anything but ethanol freevfuel in all my 2 Stokes that I own. it makes the world of difference man I honestly cringe and get very annoyed when I see people using pump gas in there chainsaws and other two strokes, it's negligence to do so and irresponsible practice for the equipments owner. Everybody should know how to properly treat and maintain their equipment . Hell kids can't even change a flat tire these days. I am a bodyman, auto mechanic welder and fabricator at a very high end auto body shop that does alot of very high dollar long term extremely extensive restorations on all sorts of classic cars . We also do a considerable amount of vehicle modifications and customizations of all different types as well as custom steel fabrication . I mean hell I've made an entire dump truck bed from scratch a few times in the last 5 years working where I do. an example of how high end the restorations we do are is we just finished a 69 camaro. 396 SS. We put the body on a rotisserie and sandblasted it inside and out alone with sandblasted the frame then did all the steel work. And began turning the car into a roller once it was primed with no supsension or underbody part that wasn't replaced brand new installed on that car we hot rodded the motor quite a bit when we built it and mated it to a temec 6speed manual which is a modern day trans . We minitubbed the rear. The sky was was limit on this car , the customer wanted it a very specific way. For reference of what kind of work we do this restoration cost $114,000 in the end and we had over 2,000 hours of labor into it. Two years ago we did a Plymouth roadrunner with a 440 6pack in it and this car was done in the same Manor ,from soup to nuts. This car was a $127,000 restoration that took over two years to complete and 2400 man labor hours. I appreciate anybody who knows how to not just wrench , anyone can do that, the real skill is in quick and correct initial diagnosis of the problem at hand that's what makes a good tech and separates them from the rest , as well does having an immense diversity to complete different tasks all over the spectrum that's another big deal. This guy had both these qualities and that's why I like watching his channel , it's cool to see somebody putting this stuff out there on UA-cam and someone who actually had the pride and balls to do so. I don't like people watching me work, I like to be left alone , don't talk to me and I won't talk to you kinda thing but to each there own.
"Morning Piss Yellow" - Pay attention, Crayola, I want to see that in my next box of crayons lol
Good job on getting that carb to work again with out new parts. That’s not an easy task no matter how new the saw is. Thanks for the video.
I love these long-form videos - just saying - it's a great decompressor for me at the end of the day. your almost unflappable demeanor (regarding challenges) and the way you speak as if I'm there really makes me feel like I'm "hangin' out, wrenching with ya." lol :)
We were holding our breath with ya while installing that safety spring... That burger does look tasty. I like the build starting with the bacon on the bottom.
"Morning Piss Yellow", LOL. I spit coffee across the table.
Definitely a different color of yellow than Im used to.
Thanks dude!! Great Video!! That's a really good saw! No ethanol Gas and it will last forever!
When you started it.. Everybody woke up..lol
Around 1995 I got one of the last commercial McCullough saws it was a leftover at the NE distributor after they dropped the line when Muccullough out of business it was brand new but probably 5 years old never used when I got. I loved that saw I used it so much I wore out the bar... Twice! I still have it, haven't started it in 10 years stopped using it when I couldn't get parts for it any more all I needed was a new air cleaner
All metal no plastic and heavy but man it could cut all day
There should be a law preventing bigCorp from buying brands and cheapening them out to eat the fat from them. We're gonna run out of good brands and no new ones will pop out in this utterly desert like competition that's been transformed in a buffet for fat CEOs and shoddy investors with questionable worth.
Jonsered is owned by Husqvarna
@Mark Stevens poulan pro is the cheaper brand of Husqvarna
@Mark Stevens The Husqvarna consumer saws are very good.
aserta there will always be a market for a quality version on something and as long as there is a market their will be a manufacturer, whether it be big or small.
You would think that might happen, but it won't.
Darren you live dangerously. Starting that thing with the chain engaged..Good Lord!
Living 5 miles from that brand's origin. Now it just a Husqvarna..
That chain sharpener is pretty sweet! Nice saw! I like how you used the vise to clamp the bar. Nice tip!
After seeing that burger, I suppose the next video will be about rebuilding and installing a heart valve.
Satisfaction of cleaning up and running an old saw, they clean up good!
