Can It Be Saved? The Junkiest Chainsaw Ever. Picked out of The Trash.

the guy that dropped it off said it's the jumpiest chainsaw that ever came into this dump really but your opinion is not the same no you look like a bad saw to me no i brought you a four-stroke weed whacker a cool stroke two-stroke was an accident i thought they were both four stroke [Applause] what's this what's the story behind it never ran right for him cool so he said it was the junkiest chainsaw ever i don't think it's like a home depot saw neither right it's more of a superior saw in manchester yeah they're a good sauce a couple like that just gotta figure out why he figures it was a jumping saw i thought you would like those lights i thought those are cool they look cool on one of these are awesome yeah that looks like the movie 1984. the uh we come and talk to you what are you doing is there two of those oh there's more i think they're like awesome those are neat i like those yeah i know like those yeah that's my favorite so far [Laughter] awesome cool hey guys how's it going so i haven't even opened the box other than the little peak we did before so let's go get a better idea what we have what do you call it the junkiest chainsaw ever made or we ever used definitely looks like the blade's been overheat it's burnt all down below there definitely took the bar out and it's probably jumping the chain the chain's not even sitting straight on the on the back side it's leaning to one side let's give her a couple of tugs see we got feel the compression that part feels pretty good let's go get her uh up in the vice we'll clamp down on the bar and get into it see if we can find out either what happened to it where it doesn't run anymore and turn it into a piece of junk or if we can revive it repair whatever it needs let's go pop that top cover off i think it's got a broken mount for the handlebar is that what you call it i think the bar is burned up for a lack of oil possibly me the oiler does not work or again you don't know what people's capacity is when they run this stuff and you could add a homeowner that put regular gas in it never put any uh chain oil i had a saw i sold as a matter of fact i'm saying that should grab the phillips i had a saw that i did it was a nice touch i think what the name of it was but it was it was john ceret that you pronounce it and i sold it to a friend and he brought it back and it was all burned up the bar just like that worse it keeps stalling out and i go and brought it back and go did you ever put any chain oil in it he looked at me kind of funny so that was a no and that's what the problem was with that one all right let's there should be go air filter cartridge right on that this look terribly dirty doesn't look like it's got a bunch of crappy looks i mean it possibly went and cleaned it out let's we'll get the plug out of it and then we'll probably dump the fuel out next i want to see if it looks like it's burnt up though it's gonna look sometimes you can tell by looking at the side of the cylinder whether it's cooked or not don't look too bad it looked like it was overheated let's go pop that plug out first we'll take a look down the jug and see if we see any beat-up-ness of the cylinder that's gonna pop that up actually looks brand new yeah plug's pretty new dry too let's take a down the hole it's clean let's go turn it to bottom dead center where's the pull start piston all the way down i see some scoring on the cylinder wall they look terrible there's some scoring let me get you over there you can see them back there a little terrible but it definitely looks like it's ran a little malnourished for two-stroke oil there's some more in that one right there let's go get a little container we'll dump the fuel out there's any fuel in it see what that looks like sometimes they dump them out when they go to a dump too because they don't want any fuel let's see if we get anything though it's bone dry take a look down inside there looks pretty clean and the filter actually has a blue tinge to it like it's had two stroke oil in it it's really clean in there what do you think we got for oil let me get an air gun and we'll blow that crap off first and we'll try to do the same with the oil not sure what the trigger needs to be let's just give it a shot first if we get anything it might be grounded out already nothing let's go that's probably that's probably a run position right there i got spark it feels a little remote plugging it it's a little on the draggy side i'm going to go take a little bit of two-stroke oil and dribble it in there just kind of lubricate the jug it just seems very dry and spin it over a couple times to see if that improves things you know you're a little bit like go around about the same yeah what do you say get a little bit of fuel we'll dribble it in there we'll give our yank over with the plug i'm gonna blow this crap off first we'll throw it a plug in there throw fuel in there and put the plug in give it a yank and see if she goes ringing and dies find a happy spot for that she doesn't bind all right let's go back over here actually let's just go right down the carb the part about dribbling it into the carb as you get a little bit of that two-stroke oil on the crank side of things generally they'll hold up it's not much of an issue i wouldn't keep running it by putting it through the plug because you're only lubricating the top end okay give us some of that if your spark is on let's go give her see if she'll go let's make a noise okay ready there you go she'll run [Laughter] seem to rip kind of high for me not being on the throttle though that's the choke side of things that seems to be functioning okay i don't think the throttle works it makes for a fun saw just runs wide open all the time and we should be having this linkage right here should be moving it's not looks like it's broken off the handle that might have been the last straw that's right out of there it's not even locked into where it should be that's supposed to be tapped into there can we get it without taking it apart let me go see we can get that into play may not even have to take the card apart but that's definitely going to be an issue right there because it's going to make it hard to start hard to cut wood too let's see if we get that back into place without damaging anything it's more like it i wonder if because of all the hand the flex that's on that handle if it just popped out of there and i wonder more throttle let's go see if we have it just seems like normally there's some dampening because you know what your hands getting vibrated like crazy so there's some cushioning built into it it just seems fairly extreme on this that it's able to move around so much and that's why it popped out it's got a spring on the upper let's go spring on the upper right here which i don't know if she's supposed to have a mount going right across like a piece of rubber or something on the inside let's go flip her over take a look at the bottom and see if there's anything happening down below here that's busted that's what we got going on doesn't it seem like there should be some kind of bushing more bushings inside of here seems like that's got an awful lot of movement to go hit those rubber legs like they actually might have fit into something hmm yeah just all that drought that's what caused that throttle to pop out is probably you know cutting into to a log and the throttle pop right out it just stayed full throttle that was the last straw because that's what we found you know something was up with that somehow we got to be able to control that either that or that linkage is maybe so bent on the other end from getting jammed that it will pop back out of there i don't know you want to get some more covers off i kind of want to leave the blade on for a little bit because it allows us to keep it in the vise and have a little support maybe there's an exploded view inside one of these little parts manual though huh the only thing it shows is make sure the dampening units are securely attached to the engine and the handlebars and just shows pictures of two types it doesn't show the ones that are my i would probably call it like over travel having all that gap around there that may be just the way it is and you know possibly these are on the weak side but right off the bat just seemed like it moved way too much maybe i'm missing one let's go that one might be broke right there might not be attached i feel like it's moving with a sorry that inside one doesn't look like it's connected to anything that would do it that's the closest one to the throttle too yes it would be that one i don't want the screw head ripped out of it i'll do it figure out the best way to get in there without to take too much stuff apart did it rip the hole right out let's go see it's got a a spot right there i would think would probably be like a square nut what's the other one look like right there that one's just bolted right into the head let's go find out what happened with that one well i wish whatever this corner was would come right out of the way but i have a feeling it's that's probably part of the main body of it so getting to the back side of the other screw might be a little bit the challenge let's go see what happens when we end let's get it out of there at least maybe what we can do is get the pull start out of our way we might have enough room to sneak it that way [Applause] we could probably undo the other mounts too give us a little bit of room see if we can damage anything but get a little bit of access there get it out of these tv that's some breaking plastic see if there's any broken plastic in the back let me put that gas cap back in there for support it's a little better to pry with all right now we see what we have so it just looks like it unworked itself i don't know how you would can you get through the center of that to hold the screw from turning i'm sure that nuts along gone so how are we going to get to the access this side of it be able to tighten it up you could probably look at was there another spring one on it where was that one up front there yeah that would that one's just threaded right in so it must be able to access must be able to fit right through the center well no matter what we got to get there right so let's start taking some stuff out of our way we need to be able to get to maybe even just threads right in to the plastic i'm looking down i don't know if you can see there's light right there i don't know if that threads into the plastic or they had some kind of like a weird offset nut see that half half round circle that's offset let's get this handle out of our way do see what else is holding that hole handle we get that throttle the fuel tank is on this side and we got this one i think if we get this one out of here maybe this whole assembly will be able to pop out that's got to go too it's just that's just a break on the handle popping on i go dig some hardware out of the way i think i'll i'll save you that project part of it and i'll bring you back when we find something let's get that pulse right out of our way a little dirty but not bad what's that i think i sucked up a piece of rope or something in the center this has been a redhead all right so we got some kind of pin right there i don't know what that is is that another bushing that's supposed to be there it's not there what would that be right kind of looks like it should be something doesn't it the wire's a better way go a little deeper it looks like some kind of bushing was also in there too that's that's gone probably when the other one popped out it lost that one we could look it up online but it's making it way too easy isn't it rather do the forensics and see what we can find all right so we need that one and if that was lined up it's not in the center if that was in the center it's hard to say what about is there anything on the back cover that makes like a because something would have held that in right with that black cover held it in just trying to see if there was a mark from something a little tail so it would have been just partially right on the edge you see anything on the edge right there see that little the little detent that lining up to it no right off the very edge of it there's some kind of dirt mark right there all right we still have to go figure out whether we can thread that one back together again and we have fuel lines going to be holding us and this one i could probably peek down in there right now and just see if there's any threads yeah this threads in there they look a little chewed up but there is threads in there so would we be able to get an allen wrench down through the center of that that's probably how you would have to tighten it yeah so we can get that one back together i could actually wiggle that back in there screw that back down if it'll hold and then put the screw back in on the top without this is humbling any further i'm going to go see if i can find exploded view and see if we are missing something from that locating pin it just seems like you know what else would the purpose be i wouldn't think you would have a metal pin just kind of banging on plastic for the stop right but that's just we're just guessing not probably the trigger or anything is it the the pivot pin does it hold is it holding anything [Music] can't see a tag on it i think that's the date 113 of 2000 so the saw sauce yeah 20 years old being speeding all right so we're going to go try putting a couple of pieces back together i'm going to see if that spring assembly will thread itself back into the plastic down there without ripping out and hopefully it does if not we're gonna have to do a some kind of operation about fixing that huh see we get i'd be able to get the screw to come upward so it's kind of nice hopefully we can fish through there and you can get that start i got something yeah hands feeling like it's ripped out though it's got no threads that's why it did what it did and what do we got to do to kind of cure that though huh yeah the screw will go back in and lock it in place but that's not going to hold up it's going to rip out of that plastic again so you got to figure out some kind of way that we can get that to bond together i think we need to get this assembly away so we can get to where those threads are that are stripped and the only way we're going to do that is to operate a little bit more so we got that front spring-loaded one i think it is maybe we can go to like a say we want to call imperial standard thread and see if we can of self-tap it into it into the plastic either that out i'm wondering if possibly maybe we could heat like a screw up and run it down into the threads and then let it cool off and kind of like make it make its own threads yeah how do you how do you fix a hole in plastic threads when it goes away metal metal i got it plastic might be a different situation might also find that there's a crack or something next to the housing too that's just causing it to to slip out and we still got fuel lines hooking this up too so and see if that'll open up for us it was already out once before it should pop out again right here we go i know the fuel lines are still connected to it too so we need let's drop something lift your foot there you go rubber bushing we need to access that hole and they get something to thread into it that will hold i'm gonna go blow that out with some air some cleaning fluid let's go take a check and see what's happening down there make sure it's salvageable of some sort and maybe i'll just get a bigger screw maybe huh it's good problem is we got it it needs something that we can get through there plus we got to be able to get in there is that thread out of there yeah maybe the next difficult thing is how do we get that apart without breaking that looks okay i don't see i don't see any cracks or anything in the plastic but it has threads further down we're probably only catching that first i don't know four or five rows and it looks like it continues down so possibly either we get a longer screw or you know just go from metric to standard and get one in there but the next thing is we have to be able to have access to it so let's see if we can get this apart get this to thread out of here we can change the screw that's in the middle of that i want to dig a hole make things worse than what we got right one go this cracks right off the end of it this whole thing turning on us or is it turning that's just the whole spring turning on us cranked out a little bit more thing about a spring if you uncoil it it will get larger possibly release i don't know if it's pressed in there though it'd be my guess they pressed it in there i don't want to break that off i don't see that happening without damaging it try a little bit more because as you untwist it it should open up and get you as you turn the spring backwards it should get larger as you do that going this direction should tighten down on it i'm going to work on that i see a little bit of a gap that opened up right there i think it was against it and it popped back back just a little let me see if i can work on that get that out of there i'm gonna try rotating that spring let's see so that would make the spring fatter and then see if it gives it enough room where it'll turn the center there it goes like chinese fingers in a way yeah we got it let's thread it onto there cool now we can do something with that part of it let's see if we can get a screw that can bite either further down or larger diameter and fix that and off to the land of hardware because we're gonna need one of those an allen wrench setup that'll fit down in there hopefully is is standard larger in metric kind of looking like the same thing almost huh it's gonna suck if it's not because then the next size up is what it's gonna be that diameter that's gonna be quite a bit to try to step up you see we try we'll try to thread in let's go with something long for now try threading one of those in here see how it does those who don't know what that one packs reds metric yellows standard or american sae all right let's see what kind of luck we can get tap on one of these in there see if that'll hold probably could have put it on a caliper too and just see if it's a little bit larger i thought it was you might be able to get it with one of those i'm gonna cut some new threads just bottom out and bottom out and we'll measure off of that how much is left i don't know how long of a screw to put in there and then from there we can cut one just so it'll have full length so we'll get the most bite i think that's it right there so i'm gonna go eyeball down the side of that i'm gonna count how many threads are there and uh reduce that from the screw minus whatever it takes for that seating we probably could leave another one or two threads for that depth of that that last spring that's on there go measure that up 235-ish 247 well not much bigger but enough bet you a couple yeah yelling at me use a t-handle right now i do not have them here at the time what i do have is this you can drop an allen wrench in it pull a cover over it kind of turns it into a t-handle that makes life a little easier i'm gonna call that max right there i guess you could reassemble that now drop that down this should actually go in fairly easy because the spring's going to want to open i had it backwards before my thought process but that should be able to run right down until it stopped there you go and it back together let's go put that in there and see if it'll lock down tight for us yeah we're going in do you have enough room to work with it and let it suck it so to speak so you can get it like that what i'll do is i'll tighten it right down we'll see if it tightens up and then i'll back it off and we'll put it back in its socket up top and do the last crank okay there we go see if that's tight yeah it's not turning okay i'm gonna go crack that loose just so it can rotate however it wants to fit up inside there we'll put that back together put all the other bits and pieces and snubbers and everything back in and we'll see where we are from there getting closer though i bet you that was the major issue that i had i shouldn't have said that so this is in the process of putting it back together and let's go tighten down that front one that i took out that one that's loose too i'm just going to strip out but let's go see if we can get it to go tight because the spring was spinning all right at least that one didn't rip out so the handle still comes across grabs here and grabs onto this one yet but already it feels much better on the throttle it doesn't have as much movement as it did before before it was all over the place obviously the one closest to it wasn't doing anything so we got that one and some plate taken out of the front one i'm gonna go blow out the saw a little bit we'll get some of this crap out of here and maybe we'll get the covers back on it and uh i don't know maybe we actually put some gas in it we'll fire it up see if the carbs okay and just kind of go from there so i'm gonna go just undo what we did cleaner up put the other support back in the handle and then probably gotta look into that oiler would be the next thing that's if that runs so so [Music] well no screws left over so i should be close that is much better than what we had before nothing was jumping around all over now the throttle does what it should make sure everything else is operating okay just shut off i think to the point with tighten the plug up we'll throw some gas back in that tank we'll try to fire it up and see how it is functionality wise if there's any issues with the uh the engine and the carbon in the idle and then from there we'll go a little bit further i'll leave that top cover off for now we can't run it forever because that's the cooling part of it uh sucks air in through here from the fan blows it across the cylinder and exits out the other side but you can run it for a couple minutes let's get some non-ethanol two-stroke gasoline this is 50 to one that should be more than enough a little more i don't does this thing have a primer bulb on it i didn't see one i don't remember seeing one we might as well put that two-stroke oil back in too right about two-stroke oil the barn chain oil dump that in while we're at it but it does look like it's pretty full i don't see any crap in there we'll just make sure the last little bit of spangling on the bottom of the cup doesn't go in i'll leave it at that [Applause] not just for undercoating you actually use it on a chainsaw too so let's go fire it up see we get like i was saying it's got a primer bulb it's good i think it's got a decompression valve might be able to kind of primer a little bit choke up off that so it shall go does that have a locking throttle for a higher rpm no it'll turn the choke off okay are we getting there let's go choke again [Music] ah sounds pretty good [Music] oh look for oil probably turn the idle down just maybe a little bit all right i don't think he has any car problems and the oiler is working and then we have to go get into that i think whoever just ran it ran it out oil and kind of burned up that blade somewhat let's go pull that other side apart anyway i'm gonna go clean up where the clutch is let's go pop this off look inside using issues with it take a good look at the bar see if we need to flip it over or use another one or whatever we can do to get by with that it looks a little kitty wampus on me on that that bottom edge but we'll take a look don't mind the fan noise in the background airing us out a little bit let's see what we got you know one thing a lot of people don't do i think you're supposed to is uh it's like every other blade sharpening every every so often you're supposed to take the bar and flip it over and people think that the writing is on the bar that it has just one direction that it stays that's not true i'll prove that to you because it has an oiler hole that is on both sides of the bar watch this one not have it so that's why it has the twin set of holes that you can flip it over and run it the other way and then it'll cause more wear damage on the other side you're kind of evening that out where this side looks pretty baked and definitely got hot there huh i got cooked i would say just run with no oil i'm gonna go look and see if that is flat let's go get let's eyeball it real quick i don't see a bend to it it still turns i'm gonna go wash that up and i think we need to douche out the douche out all this crap too get that out of there and get it cleaned up we already know the oiler is working sometimes what happens the oil will fail where you fill it up with oil just continues to drip afterwards i don't see that being the case with this saw though because the box that it was in was dry and the oiler was full i think the oiler is fine i'm not gonna bother taking that apart i'm just gonna blow this stuff out clutch you spin it backwards it drives this way to take the clutch off you would run it backwards and it would pop itself off you stick like a a spark a piece of um rope in the spark plug hole you can pop it backwards and take it off i'm not seeing any issue with that neither what happens is as the engine revs up these push outward and catch the outer shell and if you stall it in a piece of lumber or bind it whatever this will try to drive it but it will slip and your forgiveness factor then add an idle the weights go back in and the chain doesn't turn at all but it's rpm related the centrifugal force pushing these weights out making contact the outer shell the outer shell drives the sprocket and this rocker runs the chain you go wash that up and clean that bar up yeah it's cleaned off you probably see it a little bit better so this is the passage for the oiler the oil comes out and it goes into the bar and on the bar you see now the bar's cleaned you see an oil passage there and you know this will be bolted up there there's the one on the other side and this is just a locating pin or the tension pin that it holds onto which allows you to adjust the tension of the belt back and forth sometimes they get dirty they get clogged and the oiler will not work that's not the case on this one and then on this one for the adjustment it's actually kind of cool sometimes you have to come through in front of the saw and you work here to work the adjuster this one's right in the center of it it just turns the cam back and forth or adjusting the blade like that i'm going to go pop that back on and put it back together so let's clean up the cover on the other side and i was looking to go wash this stuff off well this stuff doesn't really wash off it's actually burned into the cover and i don't know if they're just a bunch of debris got on here or the clutch actually spun itself off and kind of crashed into the outer edge here at some point took out some uh took out some of the metal some of the aluminum and grounded it could be just a bunch of crap was in there too it's hard to say but any of this stuff could have walked its way out these i think are just sitting in there with a tension i don't think there's anything that really kind of holds um the clips in possibly maybe they came up and rubbed against it as far as the brake on the handle so this right here locks into this and if you pop the handle forward it shortens this band as being the circle gets smaller and it tightens around the outside of the drum and that's what stalls the chain from moving and i believe it's a safety slash if you're doing something with the saw you're walking with it or something you actually pop it on too so that inadvertently if you hit the throttle the blade doesn't move but most of the time it's when the saw kicks back when it kicks back you're holding it here kicks back your hand hits it and pushes the lever forward hitting it also so it doesn't smash you in the face and cut your face in half and now let me get it back together so okay all right we got all back together let's give her one last yahoo function wise let's run let's try it no gas let's just give her a pull [Music] [Music] uh [Applause] wow well there you go you thought it was gonna have to have a cardboard to clean didn't you it wasn't gonna be anything wrong with it i did too that's a little different so the whole saw was fixed for free except for one bad screw and it kind of just cascaded and caused a bunch of different problems probably the last thing was the throttle stick in wide open and that just gave up on it at that point i probably keep an eye out for a bar i actually think that one will be okay for a while so we cut some wood really don't know and i do not have my sharpener with me although they do not look terribly dull that looks pretty decent oil looks like it's might be putting a little too much out until you run it for you know a couple of gas tanks get an idea what you're doing a little hard to tell though how's that huh not bad for a little bit of work and our only problem was that stripping out of the plastic all right guys with that thanks for hanging out with me and have a little bit of fun and uh bringing back together some uh scrap yard saves for uh next to nothing actually nothing so with that i'll see you soon later yeah go for it it's definitely a cold cold start because it was 19 degrees last night nothing was sitting outside it's cold start and it's 19 degrees and i'm handicapped okay okay no it's got a okay i got it on switch yeah it's up came up with the choke yep and you give her a couple yanks and then the choke shuts off when maybe there you go [Music] [Music] ah oh man [Music] so what's your thoughts on the junkiest chainsaw they ever made that's what they call it i'd say this one is i mean leave it here leave it here all right that was good for uh being right out of the pocket cold too yeah i think i think it does just fine awesome you
