Amused by people like this who make videos

You ever been looking at random chainsaw videos, and come across something like this?



I watched it and thought, richen up the H and you'll probably be good to go. Nope, let us rant and make a video. Thoughts?

 

So , I guess you're saying I should stop making informative videos ?

 

The funny thing is that the overwhelming majority of non-professional chainsaw users wouldn't have any idea what you were talking about if you told them to "richen up the H" (although I'm not convinced that's the issue with his saw ). I always struggle with that; sometimes I feel like people should be able to deal with the equipment they're operating, but on the the other hand the overwhelming majority of people who drive a car every day don't know how to do the most basic of maintenance...

Regardless of this guy's mechanical aptitude I would have to strongly agree that posting a damm video of yourself using a dud chainsaw on youtube solves exactly nothing.

 

I do love all of the random chainsaw videos. My favorites are the ones showing how to sharpen chains and they inevitably run the file both directions on the same tooth like they're using a handsaw...

 

I'm all for informative videos. I don't think the one I mentioned qualifies.

I have a little Husky 240 that had a bog /lean out that developed after running it for some time (most noticeable when really cold), and always at half a tank of fuel. I didn't know chainsaws from a hole in the ground. I didn't make a video complaining about a crappy saw, I learned how to tune a saw. It's been a sweet machine ever since.

I did not make a video complaining my saw was junk though. It's a machine, no voodoo or magic required. You just need to trouble shoot.

I might add Nixon, I'm not bagging on you here, just that a guy might want to at least try to troubleshoot before condemning a brand.

 

And it very well could be a different problem. I experienced this same problem with my own saw (mentioned in another post) so that's the first place I would look. You can create this problem at will (again, with my saw) when you drain almost all the fuel out, and run it dry for storage. Give 'er a blip and she bogs.

You better watch who you call a professional.

 

Whoa! I just went to youtube and read all of the 'helpful' comments that follow below this guy's video. You all should definitely do that if you have a few extra minutes . . . thoroughly entertaining!

 

Like John Wayne said many years ago... "You cant fix stupid."

 

This video may answer the first one.




But I have to go find a funny stove video I watched awhile back. It's a gooder.

And here it is.

 

That stove video condemns one of the BEST economy stoves on the market

 

In my limited experience, a bog that runs but barely is fuel rich. A bog that dies is fuel starved.

I had a Rupp rally that came stock with 320 mains. Ran like chit. Snap the throttle open and it would bog and make a BLOOOOOOH sound. Saw will do the same thing if the choke is left on or H is cranked way up. Dropped in 270s and it hauled azz.

 

Yep them there epa stoves dont make any heat. specially them double walled ones that dont let the heat out...
wow, just wow

 

I like the temps he's giving as well. Not even 300 F on the sides of the stove.....not even 120 F two feet up the stove pipe. Honest as the day is long I'd say.

 

its actually 3 minutes and 27 seconds of my life I'd like to have back...

 

Like my saw; which I am so happy to have. I think I may have mixed the fuel wrong. My friend mixed new fuel and the saw ran great.

 

If the guy bought the 3 cans-o-fuel with saw, he should get 4 years of warranty. I'm certainly not an authority, by any means, but I'd think he has a good reason to expect that the warranty would cover it. Just take the saw back until it's fixed or replaced. Once it's fixed, the 455 is a decent running saw, at least as far as I'm concerned, but then again I am somewhat biased.

 

Maybe the saw is mad it's cutting such little wood

 

The saw is just tired of his accent and is saying "i give up"
