Thank you for watching!
Love watching someone else having to troubleshoot. Spent a lifetime doing it. Don’t apologize for running a shop. We’re watching chainsaws not Netflix. Great job.
It’s completely beyond comprehension that anyone would criticize the **FREE** content that you provide for our entertainment and education. If you do make an error or omission in your production, it’s made in earnest and not intentionally.
You wouldn't believe some of the comments.
@@marriedwithsmallenginesthey will pop up till end of the world, but you can start to ignore them 😅 thanks for great content 💪💪
Sadly, social media is a real cesspool
Erica, without a doubt, your videos are the quietest, most professional, home grown, videos I have seen on you tube. I have mentioned this to you before.
Please keep on making them this way.
Sincerely,
Rod Fair.
Thank you!!
Great to have a video with no silly music over the top. Very clear, easy to understand and your voice and processes are delivered at easy to follow speed.. thanks .
I've been watching all your chainsaw repair videos of late, I've also been working on almost anything that runs on gas for over 40 years, you are doing a great job! You definitely do a better job then most at explaining what you are doing and why you are doing it. Keep up the good work! Love the chainsaw videos.
a lot of guys do a lot of saying stuff to make the video entertaining or simply are not good speakers...annoying to watch those videos. When a channel goes gangbusters with comments often a Patreon channel has to be started whereas only Patreon commenters can get an answer to a question in comments
I call her the Methodical Queen of Diagnostics .
She should apply for Master Tech status .
To Married with Small Engines :
By the way ..... the Bright orange sweater is awesome ....love orange and it also looks professional too .
P.S. - Commentors can be the worst critics .
Some other channels I watch of completely unrelated topics , in some cases , don't even address the commentors because of the content creators professional level / status .
Each to their own , but all you need to know is that you are a top tech in our eyes ...... and that is coming from a triple licenced tech myself .
...... and thank you for elaborating on the immense effort you put into your day .
Between client equipment obligations and producing videos that ultimately help us well beyond any basic level of assistance , you should know that there are MANY of us out here that Truly appreciate your professional tech insight .
I just can't believe how many videos you are releasing , and all the customer complaint diag you've shown us .
I don't even know what to say other then THANK YOU!!
New on the channel, great content. No small talk or trying to be a comedian - just plain info and focused - really great! Cheers from small engine shop in Sweden!
You're doing a great job, don't let it get to you. You can never make everybody happy. Your always going get lurkers that have nothing better to do than criticize!😠
I really appreciate that. :)
362 Next 😊👍🏼 Nice Quick Fix on the MS-250C Easy Start Great Job 😀 Sometimes They Come into Our Shop With The Recoils All Destroyed Because They Didn’tRead The Owners Manual and Drop Start Them Like a Regular Saw and Not Gently Pull Them I Always Like You Make it a Point to Show The Customer The Proper Technique 👍🏼
Thank you! :)
She properly starts each saw and does it right, IMO. Drop starting a saw is ridiculous, and I will call anyone out for doing so! Had a member of my Family nearly die and lose a leg from doing this! Once a saw has been run, I will restart it holding it near my knees. People revere the Stihl brand, and so should follow the advice in their manuals. Take care be safe
Great customer service going above and beyond....
I upgraded my saw to a 250C a year ago and I absolutely love how easy it starts.
My father has one of these and I hate it. Probably just because I'm used to and prefer the regular pull start.
Did you have an adjustment period to the starting method on it?
Gotta say LUV the start of your videos, and your voice greetings. Very classy and professional. Your repair work is beyond reproach! No need to explain yourself; Your work ethic and integrity speak for themselves! 😊👍🇺🇸
As an older wome, 75, I learn from your technique/from, used in dealing with chainsaws. Thanks for what you are doing. I'm learning and become more confident with my smaller chainsaws.
Very nice presentation style. No fluff and straight to the point. Top job.
Thank you!
Thanks for these videos - exactly what we need to troubleshoot our saws and keep them running at their best
Great that the woman is going to rebuild the saw with the scored piston. Too many old saws just get thrown out.
U do a great job a tough job not always easy
Thanks for coming up on our Small Engine Live Stream yesterday. It was a pleasure talking to you. We enjoy your videos and hope to chat with you again!
Thanks Ken!
An old paint brush works well for cleaning off the sawdust before you remove the gas and oil caps.
Great tip!
@@marriedwithsmallenginesair works better 😊😊
@@wrstew1272air in a can when out bush 🙂
You do fantastic videos! You are offering a FREE education to the rest of us--an education that you had to pay for. Try your best not to let rude critics bother you. I know that is easier said than done--I own a small business too. You are the amazing!
Tks! Ur correct that the 250-C is different to start and ur solution of going over the start procedure with him is Great. I had a friend that has 1 and I didn't know the correct way to start it till UA-cam and I showed him.
I'd love an 026 jug replacement. I have 10-15 saws that I need to rebuild this winter and ur the best I've seen on trouble-shooting.
Please keep making the videos and helping us.
good video, and you even remembered to check the plug gap, for others, it isn't always the case the xx plug is gapped correctly (for the engine you are putting it in), and it also could have been dropped in transport, affecting the gap.
Hello I enjoy watching you I have learned so much you do a wonderful job of explaining what you are doing ❤😊
The loose chain is an interesting comment - you are clearly correct and I do not disagree - BUT - I for one always loosen my chain just like that out of habit when I finish with the saw - I consider it good practice so that a chain that was retighted during a long day of steady firewood cutting will not contract against the bearing etc as it cools. Maybe I don't need to do that? What's your opinion?
Great video - I appreciate the detail of your videos and your willingness to share the knowledge.
Over thinking it
Ez start is a god send for female home owner , retiree homeowner, older people or just people who want an easier to start chainsaw.
I recommend EZ Start to all my neighbors and older friends and family.
They all love the EZ Start.
Just pull not jerk the starting rope. And at the end of the pull.
The wound up spring would kick start the chainsaw , weed trimmer etc .
Love them
I was one of those pompous commenters complaining that you didn't show the end result of the saw that kicked back. I now know that you have a very full plate, and that youtube videos must fit in where you can fit them.
You are very competent and have a nice bedside manner. After watching six or so of your videos, I have a very good idea of how chain saws work. Thanks for that.
Keep up the good work when you can fit it in.
Just started watching some of your videos and I am impressed. I’m an old duffer who heats with wood and loves chainsaws and videos about them. I am really impressed and pleased with your content and your video productions. You are intelligent and very knowledgeable. I really appreciate that you’re not trying to be a comedian with hideous background music. Furthermore I applaud you for your attitude and attire. The way some content creators dress IMO sets a very poor example for their children! Thank you!
Your comment means a lot! Thank you! I am very old fashioned (compared to todays standards) and I'm not here to flaunt. I'm simply here to show what I do everyday.
You are doing a great job with your channel! I subbed after watching the first video. You and Donyboy are my favorite Canadians!(But you are much Prettier then Him)!
Your masterful secret to starting it was the three slow pulls BEFORE giving it a good rip. I even do that without the choke on, and it always works!
Sparkplug flooding does occur when the user rips it 28 times in a row; good diagnosis.
You don't give this saw a good rip. Just a gentle pull or you'll break the winder.
Great videos Erica. Love going back and watching the series over the last few months. Brilliant.
I have worked all my adult life on small engines and marine engines,love your videos,great content👍
Cool. I like the 250-C's. I bought my father in law one a while back. Makes me wonder how sharp that chain was and the how high the rakers were.... bur it did sound good
Glad to hear the 026 is getting rebuilt. Good call on her part. Some of those after market parts are solid! They definitely don't make'm like that anymore.
That 024 should be a monster on small trees and limbs. Especially if its an older one. After running one all day, they are worth their weight in gold. (That is, if you could just use one saw all day, while in the business....)
Look frwd to the 026 rebuild video
What a great job you're doing. You can't please them all, but do you help us that want the help. Thank you for your time.
You guys are doing a fantastic job keep them coming no one is perfect ps I like your thumbnail photos
I don't mind the easy jobs one bit. I'm the neighborhood small engine guy where I am in Ohio. Today I got an old Honda self propelled mower going and a Stihl 017. Love your channel Erica and Tyler. And love the pics at the end of each video when the lovely lady lets her hair down❤❤❤
After a long day of work, I like to let my hair down :)
Thanks for the methodical way you identify you evaluate each chainsaw you in your videos. I'm just an amateur who likes to "tinker" with neglected saws. I have two Stihl 026 models I acquired which I hope to bring back into service this summer. I look forward to your video on the 026.
Thanks 👍
Enjoying the content on your channel . The quick and dirty rebuild on that Stihl 024 is a good idea as sometimes parts supply or finance can get interrupped . Tinman talks of a quick rebuild he did 5 years ago ? Called " I can't believe this saw ran - 562xp tear down "
Chickanic vibes .it’s nice seeing knowledgeable repair shops sharing their experience. Subscribed now
Another delightful video. Thank you.
Wow! You mean business. Great to watch, applying your extensive knowledge and experience to good use.
Nice to get an easy repair. Bit of operator education, and all will be good. Thanks for sharing👍.
Clear, concise, professionally done videos! So informative! Any videos on a step by step teardown of a Stihl MS 190T saw? Tremendous kickback on trying to start! It seems that any repairs require complete dismantling! Thanks again for excellent content!
I think you are right. I have a MS250 … easy to start if you know what you are doing … but one too many pulls in full choke and it’s flooded
You are the best stihl tech I have seen, one thing you might recommend people do is carry a small paint brush with them to clean the fuel & oil cap aerea before filling. Also those 024 saw's were great small saws I stihl have one and wouldn't part with it. Thanks for your great editing.
your doing a great job. videos are excellent diagnostic tools that you provide. working all day and then filming and editing videos
couldnt do it myself.
I always have trouble starting the chainsaw, I forever leave the choke on too long. That saw ran nice 👍 😊
Yes, it runs great! And that easy start...so easy :)
@@marriedwithsmallengines yup I like that, it's better than best your knuckles off the side of the saw lol 😆
Boy, doing this for a living looks so good.
After watching quite a few of your videos in the last few days I have much respect for your skills and knowledge. Also I'm tired of fighting with my Echo, Poulan, McCullogh, and Homelite saws. They are all pretty old now and I'm older than them. The easy start looks like it would be very good for me and I am wondering how it works and how dependable it is? Don't really want to spend the money these days, but I have a son that will benefit from the investment if it would be dependable and long lasting.
I own a Stihl MS 250C with a 16 inch bar and it has been a great saw. I usually can get it to pop off with 2 to 3 pulls. Only thing I have had done is replace the carburetor.
Great info..thanks
Chain saw repair Lady, my point of view I think you are doing great if you have to shift your video times as needed to run your shop so be it . I think your videos are great with many great tips.
It looks like you are getting it done.
Please take care. 👍👈🤗😊
Awesome video, thank you .great work 😍😍😍😍
Well done 👍
i like the tooless bar.chain adjuster..quick and easy..
I have the same saw. The adjuster often gets stuck which can be a pain. Very easy to start.
You do a great job! Love the content
Thank you for making this vid.
Nice, well done. Thank you.
261 and 362. Two amazing capable saws. :-)
Coming right up! :)
@@marriedwithsmallengines Thank you. We appreciate your dedication and commitment.
I haven’t read the comments to see what kinds of, umm, stuff or some other word starting with the letter S, people are dropping in the comments but ignore them. Doing your best is all any of us can do, and you’re doing fine. It’s really easy to be a critic from the other side of a screen when you have nothing at stake and aren’t offering anything that could expose them to critical comments. I know this phrase is over-used, but it’s still true: when stuff like that is incoming, the critical parts are usually about them and what they’re willing to do, not about you and what you’re doing. Charlie Mike.
The chain being loose while not in use is "a good thing" if done intentionally and if set properly before use. A properly set warm chain can get really tight when stored in cold weather, such not good for the bearings.
I’m really enjoying your channel, I have an 032av that needs a fuel line. Maybe you could show one being replaced.
If a 032 comes in, I'll be all over it! :)
Will you please list all your tools you use for repairs in your description of your videos.?? That would help me alone, but help others I'm sure! I know that's more work for you, but you only have to type it once. thanks in advance!
Love this channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
Very good channel. Thanks for the content!
I never see the 036.
I guess one will be in the shop one day
Welcome to chain saw are us married with small engines 😂
I love your content. Your awesome.
I appreciate that!
Wow it didn't take long for you to rocket to stardom, It must be nice to be a female content producer. Stay Classy young lady
👍👍👍. Thank you
I look in comments on Farm and Fleet website and people hate the MS250. Would I be better off buying an older saw like 041 or 021? Or is the MS250 just super sensitive to old fuel and flooding? I gather fresh non-alcohol premium mixed is the way to go. My life is complicated enough without a hard starting saw. I don't need a $400 doorstop. Any comments welcome, thanks.
Really enjoyed your video. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!
Great job chick keep it up!!❤💪🐥
Thanks my Chick!
I have a question for you, I’m an occasional chain saw user, and with all the issues that new fuel can cause, if it is stored with fuel left in. In your opinion what is the best way of storing it for the next use, as I’ve been told in is also bad to leave it dry?
I have a novice question: I noticed that the bar print was upside down. Do you recommend flipping it to even the bar wear? Thanks.
That is correct 👍
Loving these videos! Your work is excellent! Question: I don’t see you using a torque wrench. Are torques not specified, or are you working by experience?
Oh, and I Would love to see more Husqvarna saw videos (assuming they come into your shop).
Good video
Thanks for the visit!
I've been having a time with the MS 250's not getting the burp, I'm finding 4 pulls and then get the choke off. Have you run into that issue? This problem is with new saws.
What's the reason for so many Stihls in the shop? Most popular brand or always broken?
Nice work. Does Stihl cover anything? Or do you have to pick it up?
Not very exciting but educational for sure. John from MI
Thanks for watching!
That's why you never say no rush when you bring something in to have fixed, everything that comes in will go ahead of your repair job, never ever say no rush.
Those 4 saws are coming right up..he won't be waiting long!
I’ve nicknamed saws with this starting system poofter pulls. 🙂
How do you feel about aftermarket parts? What is the cost different between oem parts and aftermarket parts
I do use aftermarket parts for some applications, and there are certain things I would never use aftermarket (ie. chainsaw fuel filter, chainsaw fuel line). When it comes to lawn tractors and zero turns, nothing wrong with aftermarket for most things. 2 Stroke is different. Very sensitive, and not much room for failure in the fuel system.
I am a certified master mechanic in medium/heavy trucks. I worked many years on John Deere tractors. We used aftermarket rebuild kits for engine rebuilds unless prices for the kits were close (usa kits). Enjoy watching other mechanics who are experienced at their trade, don't take short-cuts and give their customers their money's worth.
Which brand of pressure/ vacuum tester do you use ?
Can other Stihl saws be updated to the EZ Start? Such as my 361 and 391?
As far as I know, the only saws that have the Easy start option are the 170 , 250, 251, 291. But they could get into needing a different coil. Usually the 361 and 391's have decomp valves and elasto grips.
Thanks. I was just wondering because my old shoulders aren't what they used to be.
I wish I knew your name. PLEASE do a video only about how one is supposed to deal with fuel. I own a pro Stihl saw that is used for firewood cutting several times a year. I always run my saws dry before storing them. But this one an MS 362-C shut down when it sensed water in old fuel. I had to replace the solenoid. Then it ran fine once more. How can folks like me run these $$$ saws with current fuel and not suffer damage? Add sea foam to each tank? Use the $49/gallon pre-mix? Please help. Thanks!
The 250c has an Easy Start feature. Is it possible he's a new owner and he's yanking on the handle too hard?
Am I the only one that doesn’t like the easy start?
I carry a wisk brush to clean around my caps when filling gas/oil, better safe than sorry.
I think that's a problem I have alot, flooding the saw. Once I get that baby started, I don't turn it off until I quit. I fill the gas and oil with the engine running.
Oh no! Operator error again.
that ratchet starter is so easy, you miss the >brap< that say: 'choke off, mmkay?' lol.
Hi everyone, I’m looking for good accessories for my MS261-cm chainsaw. Thanks
Just wondering if every chain saw you work on is a stihl. I've only been watching your channel for the last two or three weeks and it seems all the saws are stihl. I know that it is a very good brand, but are there no other brands in use in Canada?
I think they are a stihl dealer
I think the problem was user error.
Poor fella. I’m sure he was fighting like the dickens to get the darn thing running too. I’d bet he was alittle miffed at himself when you told him the deal.
With that said those easy start saws have a whole different starting process and folks that aren’t familiar with it ruin a lot of equipment.
Do you ever clean fouled spark plugs? It seems a waste to fit a new one.
No, not usually. Spark plugs are inexpensive, and in my opinion, not worth spending time cleaning. If I was in a pinch, or a homeowner at home without a new plug - likely I would! :)
@@marriedwithsmallengines Fair enough. Makes perfect sense.
@@marriedwithsmallengines And subscribed.
👍😅
Great job.
So who has the answer, leave gas in while not using the chainsaw or leave gas in? I use non ethanol gas in the mixture.
That was a CND. (Old AF term.)
