I live in Texas but did live in Alaska a while back in the 70s and I love left handed reels. all my bait casters are left handed for just the reasons you stated. They are hard to find sometimes here but when I find them I snag them up. I find them on sell a lot because no one is smart enough to want them lol.

I clean and service mine monthly, and it never has a end of season. I clean and wipe down after every use on any day. The woods and mountains of Maine are cold at night and I like to eat hot food once -n- a while.

East Coast guy here. Cutting hard wood trees ( not mushy soft pine trees) with my 18". Great video . 🙂 I always use Amsoil too. Great products.

Use of compressed air on a air filter plugs it up.

Want a good secret use simple Green instead of solvent it cleans way better and doesn't dry your skin but simple Green leaves everything soap feeling to it but way better cleaner then solvent I run it in my parts cleaner

There are 2 different drive sprockets that drive the chain. The first is known as a rim sprocket this I found ok on soft woods such as pine. The other is a star sprocket and here in NZ I found works best last longer when cutting though our native hardwoods. Another point to note too is before one takes of the air filter one should always pull out the choke leaver which in turn will stop any sh?? entering the carb once the air filter is removed for what ever reasons. I notice on this clip you guys don't have a mit on the carrying handles guess you prefer to relie on the chain break ah.

Antony Thompson 13 dager siden

Another item for your spare part kit: plastic cap for gas/oil tank. I had one of the plastic caps break at the end of a cutting session in -10 deg weather. Now I carry a spare.

Dan Fraser 13 dager siden

You mean there is something besides gas to clean with? I do alot ATV trail work in spring before the blackfly season, so i kniw sap! Also this east coast guy has 20 inches, my saw bar as well.

Greg Banbury 13 dager siden

Any time I pull the air filter cover off I close the choke first to prevent any dust entering the carb. Sometimes the air filter will move away from the seat which has the potential for dust to enter the carb.

Why is my saw cutting out when it gets hot??

Everyone out east that I know use left handed reels, I'm in PA myself and have fished alot over 35 years and can't remember anyone using a righty.

In the northwest we run a pre filter and you missed the part about taking the rolled edge off the bar

Why do you not grease the pilot bearing?

I clean my chain with goo-gone, or goof-off, blow it out, then, put a dot of oil on each link. An old toothbrush works great for cleaning the teeth loaded with pitch. Don't honk to lock, it's annoying.

Every chain saw owner should hear - "Don't put the chain saw in reverse."

For what he has in spare parts I could buy a brand new saw. {just playin}. I know Its good to be prepared{and Richie Rich!}... Rock on...

James Nelson 18 dager siden

Noticed something very important he didn't do but thats if this saw has one. The spark arrestor in the muffler. I run a 270 and a 360 but we have a 170 for small stuff and my dad couldn't keep it running so i noticed the way it acted and it sounded muffled and low on power like the exhaust was plugged well I took the screen off the muffler and it was so plugged!! Cleaned it up and it runs like a new one!

Chris Hewson 19 dager siden

I'd like to see how to take a link out of a stretched chain easily and cheap and put back together and back on working. Can you use a pocket bicycle chain splitter?

Hey yoooooz guys on the west, bring back the bow saw. Never understood why they think the straight blade is more safer than the bow saw which had a guard on top.

Stihl is a German Brand and here in Germany, you almost only got Fullhouse Chains. Skip chains are nowhere to find , so you have to order them. With a 24 " Bar you can fell 99% of all German Trees. So Stihl‘s recommendation of max Bar length is for German standard Fullhouse Chain. With Skip you can run longer Bars like on your ms 260 . Thats the Background! Greetings from Germany!

pete langevin 21 dag siden

My daughter the arborist loved the comment about the 32” bar being more masculine. But there is something about a big saw that makes you feel like Tim from tool time!

J. Witschor 21 dag siden

Stihl is a German Brand and they dont recommend these longer Bars for the ms 260, because here in Germany you will not find any Kind of Skip-Chains. So Stihl recommends their maximum Bar length only for Fullhouse Chains.

Brucer Ducer 23 dager siden

An ordinary PAPER CLIP will clean out the channel of the bar and take out the sawdust that builds up inside the channel.

Avalon Måned siden

Cody, did you ever publish the back to basics sharpening video you mentioned at the end of this one? I might have missed it, but I've went back through the whole range and not seeing one. If you did, can you tell me the name and date that I can go watch it? There is one a few months later using the $125 jobby. That wasnt it was it? Thanks.

edward williams Måned siden

As you west coasters are cutting all that pitchy soft woos I'm cutting old growth oak with my 3120 and a 36" bar that gets buried on the way through. Keep chopping no matter where you are!!

wade barber Måned siden

Still yes! I have a 190. Cut a tree over 36 inches once and needed a 24inch bar They recommended not to get it. Did anyway. Cuts great! Just need to listen to saw so it won't overload.

Mark Dressel Måned siden

32” bar and hairspray....... that’s very left coast

Chris Murphy Måned siden

I live in southern Illinois. 99% of the trees here are hard wood. And i mean hard. Like Hickory and lots of Oak. You better have a sharp chain. No sappy tree's here.

s. duro Måned siden

Chainsaw cleaning ....brushes of different sizes, scrub pad (not the green ones) and WD40 Try it 1st and comment after.

Paddy Mack Måned siden

G*d hates a coward.

Ken Shores Måned siden

Use fuel oil or kerosene instead. Higher flash point. BTW used gasoline for many years.

Brian Jones Måned siden

My Efco is Italian made but it's damn near identical too your saw.

Brian Jones Måned siden

How many cc's is that particular chainsaw? I have a Efco saw that is 50 cc with an added 20 inch bar and chain.I would like to go with the longest bar/chain i can without hurting the engine.I would like your or anybody experience opinion on that question.Thanks.Brian J.

Anthony Ramirez Måned siden

Safety Sally I luv it

Daniel Padgett Måned siden

Where do you get the wear guards inside the cover at? Probably at the stihl dealer

Adam Mayle Måned siden

Wv here and saw has to stay on the ready, always using it. And smallest bar i own is a 20" for small work and go all the way up to a 36" aswell.js

c Måned siden

Thanks great info very helpful, I wish all the people cementing on the how to blow the air filter, could also comment about the other 99 right things in the dam video

Clark Kent Måned siden

I really like your videos because you know your stuff and you don’t get to preachy and when you do it’s just to be funny. Comical to keep it lite. I learn a lot from your videos and I appreciate you. Thanks.

Sam Bullard Måned siden

Wranglerstar question is there a difference between a Rip chain and a cross cut chain? i can not find on the social media. Or I am not asking the right question...

I've cleaned with gas probably 65years works for me

Derf_the_Mule Måned siden

Trick to winterize your saw. Mine start in 2-3 pulls with this method for 2 cycle engines with primer pumps. Drain Fuel, pump carb dry, put 2-3 oz mineral spirits into fuel tank, pump through carb, dump mineral spirits, pump dry, remove spark plug and pour in a little 2 cycle oil, pull start cord a few times, replace spark plug, pull cord until compression is felt. This works well on 2 cycle with primer bulbs. The mineral spirits is easier on the urethane tubing and carb rubber/plastic than gasoline. Always use fresh gasoline.

Can-Am Mike Måned siden

By no means am I pro, but have 100’s of hours on Husqvarna.. for a 20 yr old saw that sat for 5 yrs, all it needed was a new chain and air filter cleaned.. I take very good care of everything I own. Still running original bar and even spark plug.. You give AMAZING tips on longevity, bit I would never recommend blasting an air filter from the outside in.. otherwise great video.. Keep it clean and will last a lifetime with anything you own..

John Woods Måned siden

All of us out in the north east are spoiled burning only hardwood so we don't have such bad resin buildup.But great cleaning tips! Thanks.

Dennis R Cole Måned siden

I don't think that blowing the air filt outside in is the right way , that's the direction the dirt is traveling , by blowing in , you're enlarging the filters' micron screening . Blow from inside- out instead of forcing the dirt thru the media .

ProTrees Måned siden

I like the silicone idea! 11:40

ProTrees Måned siden

8:55 air filter cleaning: I would not blow direct inward towards the inside! I just blow sideways also blowing directly can ruin filter BTW. As I love to pick your how to videos apart. haha

Eddie Hoogstins Måned siden

I also am here to read the East coasters comments 😂😂he must be a city boy wearing his orange rubbers lol

jcallesano Måned siden

Also, thank you very much for this video. Very informative. Well spoken as well

jcallesano Måned siden

I have an old stihl 011a saw that was gifted to me. I run the powercare pre mix fuel 50 to 1 ratio in it. Am I going to ruin the saw using this? I also used the power care bar and chain oil with this soft. I've only had it for about 2 weeks

Daniel West Måned siden

I fish the same way ! Best way I figure.

Bad Driver Måned siden

I use Mean Green degreaser and brake parts cleaner, works great and got the information at a local dealer 😂

Austin Long Måned siden

Here in the South Carolina we don’t store our saws we run year round.

LP Vin-ill Måned siden

Best comment I've seen in a while! :D

Little Huey Måned siden

When we get a new saw or do clean up we started to use car finish ceramic coatings Turtle wax seams to be the best and it makes the silicone sprays work even better ! Tty it ?

sporty22011 Måned siden

They make a specific bar groove cleaning tool that works better than a hooked pick......

A P Måned siden

Great video. We don't use gloves in Texas.

Kevin Johnson Måned siden

Who loves their chainsaw??thanks for this, what brought me here is my chain fell off my brand new chainsaw and I have never had one before. Found this interesting thanks oh don't forget your dental tool when you head to your day job 😋

West coast lost the rights to say anything after California happen... don’t get the chaps in a bind 😂😂😂 I will always love this channel 😂

DaTallestMidget Måned siden

This guy has never worked a full week in his life in forestry or tree work. If you’re bucking 8 hours a day there is not a chance you’re flipping your bar every time you sharpen lol like the heli is going to wait for that

remove the fullwrap handle! if you limb with it you limb the tree with wrong technuice.and when winter comes you take out your chainsaw not put it in. You aren't a pro, more like a amature.

What would you do when the sawdust/oil doesnt come off with a compressor? I'd like to clean it as new for reselling but it's really nasty and sticky and my compressor doesnt blow much of it away.
