Great video!!! I had a McCulloch chain saw for years and it just stopped running, tried everything I could think of to no avail. I bought a new saw about 5 yrs ago and now that one wasn't running very good. I used your video to tune it up and it's running awesome!! I went back to my old saw and tuned it up and it's running like new !!!! I also have a gas hedge trimmer that wouldn't run and now it's running like new !!!! This video literally just saved me about $1000 !!! Well done!!

THE Best chainsaw tuning video out there. Why? Not heavy with technobabble. Clear and simple instructions, important warnings, common sense approach for the everyday garage workshop guy.

Finally someone explains what all 3 screws do instead of just the H & L. Best carb adjustment video out there. Thanks for this.

I am a 76 year old know it all. Loved your video presentation .top quality . didn, t learn anything new but then I am a mr know it all. I loved the Walbro presentation if you plan to leave your chainsaw / strimmer unused for more than six weeks drain the fuel out and refill with fresh fuel-mix.

THANKS! I'm an auto technician, but I don't work on two-strokes very often. Your video is one of the best ones I've seen yet, and yet it contains 1000 less words than some other videos. You got right to the point, and clearly described the process. I was fixing a friend's Husky 55 (new carb, among many other parts) and got the screws tweaked just right, and now it's powerful and snappy. Thanks for taking the time to make a well-thought out, intelligent, no BS video. Cheers!

Hands down the best video for getting a chainsaw back to spec for fuel adjustment. My Husq 460 Rancher was in need of serious maintenance. Changed out the air filter, spark plug, new chain, set the bar and chain tension and other lube requirements. THEN I came across this video. I had the right tools already but just couldn't get it to run good. I followed these guidelines in front of my PC, then set the saw down. Took it out in the morning and it started right up! Did the fine tuning instructions and now it is as good as when it was brand new! Thanks Piddler!

The finest saw tuning guide I've yet seen. Thanks man, got my saw running again.

THANK YOU! I just got a brand new Husqvarna 435. It's my first gas chainsaw. I been borrowing my neighbors for years so I know how to run one but buy no means no haw to fi or tune one. My new saw will not stay on. It starts but the second I hit the trigger it dies. Because I got it on amazon from a third party seller its a nightmare to return and get a replacement. I am looking at it as a blessing in disguise. the tools are on the way and thanks to you and this video I will know how to tune my saw. mi have watched a dozen of these videos and yours is hands down the clearest to follow for a new saw owner. THANK YOU

Best explanation for chainsaw carburetor tuning on the net. Very easy to understand.

[kongcheung]

I see so many tuna carburetor adjustment, and I think you’re the best because they didn’t tell you you got a turn in the only lotta lotta people just do it but they don’t tell you turn in and turn out. Thank you.

[captainkepcon]

American Piddler is the Man. There's no way I would have know about the spline set screws. Providing the link to get it was very helpful. Now I'll go out and se if I learned anything.

[augustowaloonski]

I want to say thank you!! Your presentation was easy to follow, and you are well-spoken. I appreciate you taking the extra time to point out the danger area of the high side. My saws run like new again. Thanks again. 👍🏻

[ronaldmcdonald]

Thanks. Your video kept me productive this afternoon. I was bogging, and don't know how to adjust my carburator. It wouldn't even start, since I screwed up the settings. But I followed your process and got it operational and completed most of my to do list.

[rtchow]

even though an old video on chainsaw tuning, i was fortunate to run into this video just the right timing. i checked all over UT and this was the most easiest one to follow. i did exactly as he said and wrote the steps to follow. next morning i put the chainsaw blade area on the vise as shown in video and wood blocks to keep it proper heigh level. i got the common tools to fit into the holes. did as he said. took me couple pull and it started. while running, i adjusted the low/high and idle as he prescribed. now this chainsaw will be very useful to cutdown firewood for my grill. thanks for the belated video.Bob

[chrisferrante]

Thought my saw needed a new carburetor. After taking it apart and cleaning it good... following these instructions got it running awesome! Thanks for the video!

[markpruitt]

Without question the best chainsaw tune video in all of cyberspace. Kip and Uncle Rico agree.

[SimpleLife]

This is by far the best narrated "how to adjust your 455 Rancher" video I've ever watched!


Thank you!

[donaldlambert]

Just came across this video. Best one I've found for tuning a carb. Thanks!

[douglasherlihy]

Well done! I'm the tool guy for our shop. I maintain and fix about $200k of machines and tools. I'm constantly researching info, parts, troubleshooting and repairs on every kind of tool one can think of. This is the best small engine carb tutorial on the internet. Got the shop's Poulan Chainsaw working after rebuilding it due to rotted fuel lines. Wouldn't run until I did your tuning tips. Thanks. Hopefully you're starting to get some kick backs from all the ad money YouTube is making off you by now. Cheers.

2-stroke is wonderful beats and chords in my ears and it's wonderful to see/hear power and 2-stroke music made in Huskvarna in sweden around the world. 💪🎶🇸🇪❤
