Great info, same guy that tries cooking his pork and sauerkraut in the dishwasher and complains. I was taught , be polite, ask questions and learn. But stick up for myself. Have a great new year.

Admittedly, I bought the Chineseiam carb kit from Amazon for $3.49. Ran like this saw did. So I bought a NGK spark plug and checked the primer bulb flow. It was backwards. My fault. I switched the primer bulb lines and now it runs great. Thanks for a great video.

Nice video ! I really enjoyed watching your video and I learn a lot of stuff ! I'm a car mechanic for 15 years and began to repair small engine at home for family and friends and really enjoyed it. Thank you

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Nice job with the Play by Play voiceover, saves a lot of editing at times. I had a Chineseum kit company approach me to promote their products. Now a year later our local Deere/Toro dealer is using their parts. I know times are tough and availability can be sketchy at best, but from a OE dealer shop? Just ain’t right. Bless’ns for a Happy New Year, Tedd

Love your videos. Short and to the point. I bought an Echo cs590 for 50$ because "it needed an adjustment " the guy had the chsin on backwards.

Another good job Scott sounded good thank you

I bought a craftsman saw for $20 it looked like new and had compression. Took it home, same thing, fuel lines replaced and installed wrong. Turned out to be a decent spare saw.

Great video with a step by step diagnosis.

At least they saved a lot of money with that ebay kit! 😁

Detective Scott! Happy New Year!

I liked the verbal narrative being separate - that kept the focus on the big picture. Didn’t get lost in the details. I also liked that the camera was in a fixed spot. All the other videos I’ve watched have been too much the back of the hand rather than the machine.

I agree with the others: the voice-over narration was nice. Great video!

Great vid man 👍🏻

All the things you mention I've done. Primer bulb back words check. Chain backwords check. Got to learn somehow

The sad part is there is another popular youtuber that works on small engines and pushes that you replace the carb with a cheap aftermarket carb anytime you have to rebuild/clean a carb; because, it's not worth your time when you can get a cheap replacement for about the same price as a rebuild kit.

Poulan, means Pull On and On and On........... How often do you use a tach to set speeds on 2 strokes? I know after years we can do it by ear and set it to just about 4 stroking but I'm curious as I always use a tach on high dollar saws for fear of over-revving them. Thanks, great vid!

Carb being way out of tune was the non-running issue with the transitional Poulan Micro-25 I picked up on Evil Bay. Typically I fix saws myself, but this time I wasn't in the mood. I looked the saw over to make sure it wasn't a basket case, and sent it to my buddy, Leon Crouch out in Oregon. Turns out the carb was seriously out of tune.

I see Bob Villa was here lol

if you slam it the table every time it will run better?

My early experience with saws included the chain on backwards thng. Then it is pretty much the pearly gates for the sprocket, right or wrong? Not a lot of experience with cheap replacement carbs. I'd rather rebuild my old one. Unless it is really corroded up inside from being improperly stored & ethanol corrosion damage generally have good success. But most shops anymore don't want to mess with tedious carburetor rebuilds while the phone is ringing, customer at the counter & delivery driver at the back door, and yeah I get it.

Wished I lived closer, so you could fix my poulan 5020 pr. I got mine close, but I know it is not right.

I have a brand new Poulan chainsaw I got from menards that runs this way out of the box. So hard to get stated it would be easier to cut the tree by hand and when I finally do get it running it dies in 5-10mins.

Great video. Im trying to get a similar craftsmen 40 cc running right. It starts and idles well. But under load it starts bogging and dies. Idles really well but the rest is no good. Took the muffler off today and ran it and it ran way better. Screamed and ran great but still not perfect put it back in and back to crap. I have new plugs otw. Plug is a champion and pretty fouled so iv cleaned it but it’s still old. Iv also cleaned the air filter. Any ideas ?

Yes those are always tough ones. Hate the China kit deal also. Get your frustrated I would be too!!

That saw was “jacked up”

Sir u need to primer it when you take a primer bulb off then put another to start it you need to primer it if not it will turn off is not the saw straight up freedom of speech speech on this saw it's you

✨1:05 Thanks for that spark plug trick with the wrench, sweet.😍👍

You just can’t trust customers! 😉😂🔧

I never get a smooth pull on the cord. It catches.

I Had a Service Order Today Written Up By The Front Desk A TS-420 The Only Thing It Said Is It’s Temperamental 😂😂😳😳😳😂😩 I Asked The Front Desk How Do You Fix Temperamental 😂

I Say The Customer Has a Case of “Tinkeritis” When a Customer Brings in a Piece of Equipment Like That 😳😩😩😬

Mine runs but it's a bitch to get started and won't stay idling, always wants to die out

Yea slam it down ?? Seems your pissed it’s messed up with junk parts and diy work

They are junk kits and waste of money Seems every spark plug last a week and you spend a hour trying to get carb adjusted properly if ever Kiting the oem is only way to do it

I got one of these and it's been ok so far but I e got an issue that I just can't figure out. I used it last week no problem but I rinsed it off a little with the hose and set it in the shed and when I pulled it out a week later to use it, there was a little rust on the clutch and drum and it would not run like it's supposed to. For whatever reason the chain kept getting super hot so I thought that maybe the drum and clutch was a problem so I bought a new clutch and drum and installed it only to find out it's still getting hot and shutting off. I examined the bar to make sure that it wasn't damaged that would cause friction from the chain but the bar was fine. So now I'm left wondering why it keeps shutting down and why the chain gets super hot???? Any suggestions anyone? I thought at first that maybe it was the oil that was the culprit but figured out that the bar had plenty of oil on it and there's no way that the chain is getting hot from no lubrication. It's driving me nuts because last week it work fine.

No offense dude but if that were my chainsaw and I saw you slamming it around like that, you wouldn't have to worry about being frustrated with my shit anymore!! You may be good at what you do, but being a professional means you keep a cool head under frustration and not slam people stuff around. Just my two cents. And I get it because I just went through a very frustrating set with this exact same chainsaw but one thing I didn't do was slam it down and slam it around. This saw cost me a lot of money and I don't want to have to buy a new one.
