You didn't break anything. You didn't cut yourself. It's a good day. Yes, it's a great day! You rock!

I chuckled when you turned away while snapping the e-clip into place. I was thinking, she won't even know which bench to look under to find that clip if it goes flying!

That saw is still twice as good as a new one. Nice job on the revamp.

The pre m tronic stihl chainsaws ms 240 , 260 , 360 , 361 , 044 , 440 , 460 , 461 , 660 , 880 are probably some of the best saws ever made , if looked after they run forever

I love the look of determination when changing the harder av mount 😂

I have an MS 361 with nearly 20 years of work time on it. This was a very welcome video, to guide me on the rehab of my saw. You're very thorough. Much obliged!

Awesome repair,good running saw for another 20 years ,just found your channel recently great content great explanations.

I’ve had my 361 for almost 20 years as well. Been a great saw overall and have never regretted buying it. It’s sat for long periods sometimes, but has always started without fail. Like this saw, it has seen minimal maintenance, just basic stuff like a good cleaning occasionally and blow out the filter. Still has the original plug and original 25” bar. I dress the bar when it needs it and keep a sharp chain on it. I did upgrade mine to the twin spike setup and roller chain catcher. Well worth the cost and I’ve never regretted it.

I love the fact that you explain each step and why also that you get help when needed very credible Chick mechanic pun intended

Please , Keep doing what you are doing , You are an excellent teacher !

Nice video. That's a testament to how good these saws are. 20 years and hardly anything done to it. When I'm done sawing, I always blow out all the sawdust everywhere on the saw and it looks like new. John from MI

Great end to a awesome series Erica. As a Sthil mechanic myself, it's great see saw videos as I usually do equipment related to golf course / turf maintenance..

Loving your videos I feel like a master Stihl tech after watching them. These are some of the best chainsaw repair videos I have seen on here. I'm going to have to show my saws a little more love.

You have a neat and well organised shop. I like the way your work area is free of clutter. I also like that you don't risk stripping and cross threading fastners by using power tools to reassemble equipment. You are the most professional small engine mechanic that posts on KZfaq.

I'm enjoying watching your saw repair series. Can I come up and fix Stihl saws all day?

yet again another great video, you are so knowledgeable, great tip re the coarse screw that goes into plastic .

Greetings from New Zealand, new subscriber to your ch. I watched both parts of this repair and think you do a great job. We are home mechanics - did a diploma in auto mechanics in my teens - and yes machines do need some TLC and a well designed and built machine will give years of sterling service. You have done just that. Cheers!🐞

Ive been around cheap saws my whole life cutting wood picked up a couple of used sthil saws last summer, after watching your videos i would have no fear taking one apart and repairing them myself to keep them going very informative excellent videos!!!! thank you!!

Open the muffler a good bit and lower those rakers. Looked more like dust than chips.... but i guess thats why it ran 20 yrs😊 But it looked to run very well....

Please wear the safety glasses. A hyphema that causes a cataract is a lot less convenient to fix than a chainsaw…….love ur videos.

Yep, pretty cool. He should still buy a new saw, though. Keep it as a back up. The 500i is way cool but those electronics and FI gotta be very expensive to replace..... I gotta get my muffler fixed. At 52, it doent regulate like before😢.........😂😂😂

Really well done. I have an old 045 super that i would love too see you work on

Because of the hold and slide problems working on saws, I put in a couple of fold down utility rings so I could use a bungee cord (flat black rubber kind) to hold the saw. I put in 4 hold downs on my bench.

Springs under tension = safety glasses

fine job with the repair. i'm looking forward to the 462 !...thumbs up

I have a 362 with m-tronic, and I totally love it. There is no better machine for felling.

I really don't want to be negative. I noticed U do not wear safety glasses. I have two friends that both lost an eye while not wearing safety glasses. One had to stop driving semis due to not being able to pass the medical exam peripheral vision portion due to being monocular. The second fella was an iron worker who had to stop working as an iron worker. He now works as a shop welder. Best to protect yourself .. that said.. great job repairing the saw.👍

That's a fun saw to work on, except for that front AV buffer. A real knuckle buster!😅

hey im from alberta nice to se a canadaian channel on here im john ❤

Well done…. But you obvs filled the bar oil tank off camera??🍺🍺💪💪👍

You have all the proper stihl tools and knowledge to complete these jobs except the most important ONE! SAFETY GLASSES! I see you move away from the work and look away when doing the difficult stuff. Cover the most important asset you have, your eyes! Even a fuel splash will ruin your day! Trust me, fuel in the eye burns, small plastic and metal pieces in the eyes will always happen on a Friday afternoon when the ophthalmologist will not see you until Monday! It is the longest painful weekend of your life. Hospitals won’t help you unless bleeding from the eye! Ask me how I know! Edit. I just heard you say it at minute 20. I was writing while watching

What a great video. You make it look so easy.

Great teaching video. Gives me full respect for you and emp techs. No surprise. Thanks.

Good afternoon, you done a wonderful job on that saw, Steve from nb

I use to have that model and it was my favorite saw. My other favorite saw was the MS200T. Both saw were awesome to use. I had several other Stihl saws, but those to were always my go to saws after I used them and realized how great they worked for me cutting fire wood. Great videos!

Nice save! I’m sure the owner will be happy to have it back to new condition. Just pulled my three saws off the shelf and gave them a clean. I would have been embarrassed if you had to work on them.

I'd like to see a video on MS 271 Stihl !!

Good job

Thank you for this great video! Happy Easter by the way!

Good job!

Excellent video😊

So refreshing. Like a new saw.

Great repair, thanks for sharing.

great video, can always learn somthing.thanks

👍👍👍. Thank you

Good video

awesome video! love when people take care of their machines and get them repaired instead of buying new! what was the actual cost of the repair/service?

i love this woman

Just recently found your channel, and I'm glad I did. You really know saws. And the way you explain what and why you're doing something is great.

Well done 🙂

Awesome video, great work. Thank you😍😍😍😍😍

I’m glad the owner decided to repair the saw. Good decision! My saw is a 24 year old Solo 645 with a 16 inch bar. It too still has the original plug! Been a great saw. I also have a STIHL MS 181C. It’s a good saw too. Really enjoying your videos, very interesting and informative! Thanks! 🇦🇺🍺🍺

Great job Erica! Enjoyable to watch, clear and concise explanations and we got the part numbers too! I don't like throwing things away that can be fixed either.

Great job on that 20 year old chain saw. Take care.

Those T-handle drivers will develop a lot of windup energy when loosening fasteners and when they break loose that energy is sent straight to your wrist. Might think about getting a 1/4" speed handle and some bits for teardown cause you don't want to damage the wrist. You check the drags on that chain? Chips looked a little small.

Beautiful solar trackers.

I have a 036 Pro.from 1995. Still runs perfectly and brand new MS461 in a box never used yet.

I just started watching your videos. Very informing. Your step by step procedures are what people like to see. I have a 20 inch Farm Boss MS271 Stihl brand new. Cutting the first tree I knicked a nail which wore some tips on the chain! Would you recommend replacing the chain or try filing the new chain?

I love it... old school approach to new age technology. When the opportunity presents itself,please dive into an 066.

I would have got you to fix the saw too! I would want to give the job to you. It is like you say (way more satisfying to fix than buy a new one). Thanks for these educational videos!

Excellent job. Like your videos. And yes you should wear eye protection.

Nice two part series. I would be curious to know how much the service cost versus how much a new saw would have cost.

I use the same gas tanks, I'm not in love with them but they do work good. I bought extra spouts because one went bad at the O ring. Now that saw started very easy. About 12 years ago I bought a new stihl chainsaw and it was the professional one but for the life of me can't remember the number on the side. Back then one could buy the case for it.

love the videos, love how happy you are all the time, one question on the 361, no new chain guard?

I have a 361, excellent saw. Those mufflers are really choked up stock. I think you can buy opened up replacement mufflers today online. Also, a little bit of dieclectric grease around the perimeter of the air filter keeps fine sawdust particles out of the carb. Great video👍

Replacing the carb with new is the only way to go on an old saw like this. New replacement will make it run like new. The new OEM cap for the oil tank has a better design than the original cap did on the MS460. Looking forward to the MS460 video. Waiting to see the MS460 video before doing the fuel line replacement

They are really nice saws. Glad u were able to get it all fixed up. Do you happen to know what type of premix he was using? Getting 20 years and a clean low carbon cylinder is pretty good. Didnt look like stihl oil to me when you dumped the gas.

I’m new to chain saws How do you clean them?

👍

Now you can do the work, and I can do the work the chain saw owner should be able to. And that chain saw is better metal than the same model for sale today.

Great Job I Love Fixing Saws For a Living We Are A Stihl Dealer In Florida The TS CutQuick’s Are My Favorites Too Work on 😊❤️😀 Happy Easter 😀

About an epoch ago, I picked up a single cell (4.2 volt) cordless drill driver from Ryobi. Got a clutch and a lite. Don't you think something like that would be useful to you? You're turning a lotta T-27s.

Hey, I think you could of been a surgeon!

I don't even own a chainsaw, but I have had my share along with ride on John Deere mowers. Love your videos! would it be easier if you had some kind of removable rubber matt or non slip surface for you to work on ? I can see myself getting frustrated chasing that saw all over the counter trying to work on it. 🙂 other than that you have my respect for your mechanical abilities that I do not possess. Keep up the great work young lady.

Tengo una motosierra Makita modelo ea6100p apenas he corrido 4 cadenas ,lo malo es que estuve enfermo y no pude usarla por unos 2 años, cuando la volví a usar funcionó un par de veces y ahora no arranca, cambie diafragmas, desarme carburador,limpie todo y no funcionó más.si vivieras en Chile te la llevaría para que la arregles.

Thank you for showing the parts #. Many years ago in Minnesota, I worked at a Johnson/Evinrude outboard, McCullagh chainsaw dealer. All the parts numbers were in filing cabinets on index cards. You would start out to find the parts number is superseded by ####, The next card same message. After going thru many cards you would find the last card with the message part # NA. Can we spell frustration?

We always see you putting fuel in the saws , but do not see you filling the oil tank , cheers

Is that a new modification plugging the decompression port and not using the decompression valve?

Drape a rag around the clutch when attaching an E clip, keeps them from flying away. BTY, what was cost of repair vs cost for a new saw?

Would you consider doing a few Echo equipment & mower how to video's ?

Szacun :)

Your videos are great and you know your business for sure But as we age you should think about a lower bench and chair, possibly a stool, not being a smart ass but I know from standing 😮

what a great job-were you factory trained?

When you put the new carb on, did you trust that the metering lever was set correctly from the factory?

I have a husqvarna 445 have it now 15 years .interesting ive never changed my rim sprocket maybe i should have how long do they last?

I really think thats redickulous when they cant send the damn o-ring.

Great fix. Do you work on other brands of saws. ?

I would never ask that question, It’s none of our business

How much does a comprehensive repair like this one cost?

I would like to know how much were the repairs in total parts and labor?

I would like to know what that kind of a rebuild costs if you're allowed to say.

🥰👍

What did you do to clean up the saw so well?

Just curious - is there a reason to install the bar so the writing on the bar is upside down?

Great job. I have ms661. Do you know where I can buy front and back av. I've searched around and they are only available out of Germany and could not sent to my US address

Why didn't you grease up the needle bearing under sprocket? And why this style of sprocket? My both saws (230 and 311) have solid sprocket...

Do you have an email associated with your business. You were kind enough to respond to my statement in which I wish I could spend a week their because I could ask 100 questions. Just curious I didn't want to ask you so many questions on this platform so others can speak as well. Thank you again for responding. Take care ma'am.

What did it cost to fix it????

When replacing the front av foam piece, I used different descriptive words than you did. (@#$!&^%$$*&^%#@#$)

Hopefully you will get a eBay account because you have some parts that I need for my craftsman gt tractor and the craftsman ys mower and the.poulan XT that I have
