I bought a $5 Stihl AV 034 at a yard sale. Ran for about 15 minutes after I put new mixed fuel in it before it died. Brought it to my local saw shop because I couldn't get it running, he said the rubber boot wasn't on all the way leaning it out. Bummer my good deal didn't last long. Ended up buying a used Stihl 361 from him and will rebuild the 034 with a 036 top end for the learning experience.

Gordy could you do a video when you are out falling next of how you would warm your saw up and the amount of time you'd let it idle for. Also the amount of time you'd leave in between bucking timber etc pretty well how you'd treat your saw in a general work day cheers mate.
@HuckThis1971
Жыл бұрын
Listen to your saw. The sound will change from a cold start. I tend to have it run 30 seconds to a minute from cold and shut it down and let it heat soak for a couple of minutes. After cutting or bucking, same. 30 seconds to a minute depending on outside temp.
@kennethbrewer2495

I'm the guy that didnt warm up my new west coast 461 and heat seized it. It was a sharp, hungry chain on a brand new built saw. I was pressed for time to get 4 cords of softwood out and was cutting large rounds and ripping them as fast as I could. Long story short I knew better but it was cutting awesome and I had people waiting on me. The saw was toast, completely my fault. I had Gordy repair it and it gets treated properly, warm up and cool down. It has made me a lot of money and still runs strong. I never run my good falling saws in the wood yard just like I never take a firewood saw to cut timber. Great content and am anxiously awaiting more videos on when to replace wear parts, clutches, air filters, carbs etc. I am famous for running until fail then losing time getting another saw out of the truck. Most of my fails are pistons, broken skirts, hanging a ring in a port and breaking the top of piston or simply breaking a ring. Last one was a 660, broke the wrist pin out of piston and shoved it into oil tank. God bless and stay sharp.

Fire it up & hold it wide open. If you run enough good oil, it will never be a problem. Sound crazy, but I know of many oldtimers who run modern ported saws just like that.. strongest 046 I've ever run was treated just like that every morning. That saw would spin the clutch it had so much torque.
@elonmust7470
Жыл бұрын
@@kennethbrewer2495 that happened from being lean, not improper usage.. Your breaking piston problems are also from lean conditions. Too much heat... I've cut tens of millions of Mbf with 92cc stihls & have only ever blown up one of them. Happened moments after grinding through the backcut after hitting something. Too much heat turned the exhaust skirt into pebbles.

Good info to have about seizures and cylinders. And looking into the exhaust port is DEFINITELY the easiest thing to start with because that’s what I do. From 2-6 bolts and there you are. Having a good light source is often the hardest thing to have “handy”, but experience is a great teacher with life 😊

Thanks Gordy, Great video! Not letting a saw warm up properly and cool down is a common issue I see folks do. Another thing to keep in mind especially with aftermarket pistons is to measure them and make sure they measure the proper tolerance for your cylinder before installing, nothing worse than replacing a piston only to find out it was too loose or tight and fails. Also check your ring gap and chamfer the edges of the piston. I can attest to the fact that with proper maintenance, good gas and oil, proper tuning, and replacing the piston and rings before failure one can get many years out of a oem cylinder. I own several with 25+ years on the original cylinders production logging. One thing I don't hear folks talk about that I have personally experienced is having debris get into the muffler of a saw then end up in the cylinder. It has made me reconsider removing the muffler screens. One was a ms361 that had gotten a piece of wood in the muffler when I pulled the saw over it seezed when I removed the muffler to check it out I was surprised to see the wood jammed between the exhaust port and piston, damaging the piston. The other was a ms461 that was in the back of a friend's pickup loaded with firewood that got rain water in it and was left to sit for a while when it was started later the crank bearings failed. I am getting ready to rebuild and port that saw now, so I would be interested in your take on a ms461 build. Something to be mindful of with mufflers and saws in pickup beds.
