Thanks for the efforts James. I’d like to add a few things for anyone trying to learn: when adjusting the carb on a 2 stroke machine, there’s also an H (high) adjustment screw. This allows your engine to rev higher or lower when on full throttle, do not get carried away with high RPMs. Also, one of the most important things you can learn on these machines is proper chain and bar maintenance. Learning how to properly sharpen the chain and depth of “rakers” is vital! Also, please do yourself a favor if you’re a home owner and buy ETHANOL FREE premix fuel. Yes it is more expensive, but your saw will stay running a lot longer and the shelf life is over a year.

Great job. I've had a craftsman 18" saw for about 12 years and still runs great with regular maintenance.

You inspire me to get off my chair and fix my Craftsman 18" 42CC saw. Its been years since it ran. Thanks for sharing

Since I started watching your videos I fixed a John Deere L111 riding mower that was sitting outside for four years, a Husqvarna riding mower that had gas leaking into the oil, an edger that I found in my moms shed that hadn't run for 6 years and 2 chain saws. Now I just have 2 motorcycles and a jeep to tackle next. Great channel.

Good informative video. Definitely get a new chain! You should not be having that much trouble cutting through little stuff!

I've had a couple of those, I believe they're made by Poulan. They have a big following in the chainsaw forums with great info on overcoming their shortcomings. They work great for light duty, but once overheated they stop running and refuse to start until cooled down. Word in the forums is removing the catalytic converter from the muffler, or changing to the muffler that doesn't have one (part number in the forums if you search), drastically reduces the overheating problem. I didn't verify this myself but seems easy enough to try for someone who has this as an only saw. You do need to keep the carburetor adjuster handy as they need frequent adjustments. They do cut well (with a good chain) and are fine for occasional around the house use, probably good value for the price even when bought new, but if you have a major project it would be worth investing in a hardier saw.

Dude you the man, I’ve been working on equipment for over 25 years as a profession and a hobby. I gotta say.....you are one of the best I’ve seen! Keep the videos coming!

I have that same red saw. 36cc 16" bar but mine seems to have a lot more power. I definitely think a new carb would fix yours right up. Great video, channel is growing fast.

Many times I see people give up on small engine equipment, and most of the time, to fix is much cheaper than to buy a new one.

I have the same chainsaw, bought it new at Sears 20 years ago. As I’m sure you already know it’s just a rebranded Poulan, not the greatest but more than adequate for occasional homeowner duty. I replaced the fuel lines on mine a few years ago, they were completely rotted away (it doesn’t get much use). Watch out for the chain bar oil, these are just simple constant drip feeders and they’ll keep weeping chain oil out even when they’re just sitting until the reservoir is empty. When I’m done I usually dump the chain oil through a coffee filter and back into the bottle, otherwise the case gets loaded with oil.

Now I know why I love my Electric Chainsaw!

I believe those are both Poulan chainsaws made for/rebranded as Sears Craftsman.

Never forget - more saws have been destroyed by dull Chan’s than anything else but straight gassing.

These guys are hard as hell to get started. One of my many that I use as last resort.

I have a 20 year old Homelite chain saw that would stall out even on high speed. Despite cleaning the carb, I could not get it to be reliable, so I changed out with a clone carb. Advertised as an exact replacement, but it wasn't - the throttle link was on the opposite side of the body. I just retrieved the shaft from the OEM and away we went. The adjustment holes did not line up, but no big issue. I also use the Harbor Freight electric chain sharpener, and it can make the chain razor sharp (after getting it properly adjusted)!.

Nice saw , great purchase well Worth the money . Love the video .

I just changed all the fuel lines on a craftsman.Their primer bulb has a neat little deal . A large and a small nipple. The small side goes from the primer to the bottom on the far side of the carb. The large or long one, goes from the primer to the fuel tank on the far side. The filters line goes from the tank to the top of the carb on the far side

“Holy crap - it runs!!” is one of my favorite sentences

Nice job! A little research & perseverance yielded you 2 nice working chain saws for approx. $50 all in. I have a like new Homelite store return I need to dig into over next couple weeks, videos like this help give me ideas while digging thru the possibilities of the no-start issue.

Hey man, i'm just curious as to where you find all these generators and engines at for such a bargain, i'm just getting into the small engine repair scene and was wondering if you had any advice for someone just starting out. Thanks!
