- In "TJ & Sticky Return", Taryl goes over this old vintage Remington chainsaw he believes is from the 1970s. Can he get this old wore out saw going again or is it best to just let it go to scrap?? Find out here!
Prior to and after the chainsaw attempt, Taryl is visited by local customers TJ and his old thieving pal, Sticky, who you may remember from a while back. It appears Sticky still has sticky fingers and is back to his old ways... So Taryl's forced to teach him a lesson yet again. And as always... There's Your Dinner!!

Hey!
Why not Australia?

Fair crack of da whip bloke!
That just ain't cricket!! Lol

Very cool! My neighbor was a Remington arms dealer, when he passed his daughter gave me a Remington chainsaw that turned out to be a pre production prototype model 770. It's Serial number 3. It's 100cc and weights 25 lbs. It runs but I've never cut wood with it before, it's like holding a dirt bike engine in your hands.
🤣🤣🤣sounds like something i would own and use Just because 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You remind me of my long gone Uncle Flash. He worked at the railroad shop, working on old engines. He could fix anything. Everyone in town would bring him stuff. Good man.
Last week it was McDonald's, this week it's Pizza Hut and Take Out. You can learn a lot from Taryl's Trash.
Taryl, I highly recommend you buy a Sure Shot A1000R sprayer, Its a 1 quart bottle that you fill up with whatever liquid you prefer, pump up with your air compressor. Instead of using expensive cans of brakeclean/carb cleaner, just fill one of these with gasoline for cleaning, Add a little acetone to the mix for some more punch. Youll save a crap ton of money for extra hamms!!
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this before, but you all have a great sound design editor! Every extra sound effect is great. Another great video, keep up the hard work!
I love the sound effects!😁
Me too. Several are laugh-out-loud funny. Also appreciate his patience and knowledge about how best to apply it. @@stoveboltlvr3798
"Hard as a carp!" That reminded me of Johnny Carson advertising mrs. Paul's fish sticks! Hilarious!
These old saws are brutes compared to the stuff you buy nowadays. I doubt if a new saw today will still run 55 years from now. Great video Taryl. 😂😁👍
So many people buy cheap equipment though. But a high end saw like these where back in the day and you'll have a good saw for life. But the average person doesn't want to drop $800 for a saw to pass on to their children.
My old Hoffco t-4 saw is from the 60,s and it's loud as they come but those saws were made for a different breed of men also
"I was taking a shower in the sink." LMFAO! This is why Ronnie is easily the best character on Yutube or anywhere.
God Bless and Protect you and everyone in your family!!!
When the starter rope broke, I was thinking to myself "yep, Murphy's Law". Love the vid and the outtakes. Good job gettin' it running again.
Taryl you have the patience of the Pope! I would have bounced that chain saw off of the wall after the second failure. And finding out the problem and admitting that it was your own fault. Wow! You really have character.
I was especially interested in this video because I have a PL4. I bought it new in 1969 when I lived in my first house with a wood burning fireplace. I still have it and it still works fine; although I don't use it much anymore. It cost $200. Thanks for the interesting videos.
Taryl - Taryl he's our man, if he can't fix it no one can.......Gooooooooooo Taryl!
Thanks Teryl, I was in Vo-ag in the mid 70's
We bought 2 PL-4's for helping local farmers keep their electric fence rows clear. Those saws were awesome. We also had a McCullough (larger unit) just in case there was need to drop a larger tree, it was quit a beast. Thanks for the video, and the blast to the past.👍👍
So great seeing a person own up to his mechanical mistakes, then fixing them. Great carb rebuild. Thanks guys.
I’mp
Great entertainment Taryl, surprised no networks pick you up yet. History Channel were are you! Found your dinner. It's in the trash can.🤣
EPIC PULL brother!! That was legendary, got er' on the last pull as your ripped out the rope, started right up! Damn you know how to put on a show! Whhhhhoooooooeeeeee!!
Love your vids!You pulled that rope a hundred times and when it finally fires,the rope breaks! I thought that crap only happened to me.I admire how you admit your shortcomings.Which you could easily cover up.But on this one,I thought we might have to get Faryl involved!(I"d a scrapped that Remington along time ago!)
You boys help make retirement entertaining and educational! Enjoyed watching, thanks.
Taryl you are amazing! Turning turds into gold! Well done I say!
Hey Taryl, I was surprised to see that you had fire. I’m sure you got point ign there. I works on saws for almost 40’years. All brands but mostly homelite and then in the later years Jonsered and Efco. In earlier years I mostly fixed ign systems(points and condensers) then when electronic ign got popular and gas became sick dinosaur juice, it was an awful lot of fuel system cleaning and rebuilds. Your video brought back some great memories. I loved the saw repair business. Thanks. Would love to meet you someday. 👍😃
It was probably pretty frustrating for Taryl, but I learned a lot from watching him backtrack through the unforeseen problems. It's nice to know that sometimes these machines can surprise even the pros.
Awesome. I got an SL11a at a pawn shop for $15 a few years ago, cleaned and set the points, adjusted the carb, sharpened the chain, and i've been using it ever since, these cheap old saws are the way to go if you're just using it every now and then.
If the new pull rope was synthetic fiber you could have melted a ball on the end. As well a crimping for a more secure connection.
I always tie a knot, then toast it a bit..just hot enough to make it shine.
Fuses it together so won’t come untied.
That thing is nearly identical to an old Homelite chainsaw I have that's powder blue in color. You reminded me of it, and your video has inspired me and may aid in doing a rustoration on it 😁
I also have an old Homelite identical to this same color scheme as well. Like Taryl said shes very loud and crispy like holding a 1970’s era dirt bike wide open
Xl12 homelite rebranded
@@kevinadams8384 Yep, I got one from a friend's barn, after cleaning the tank and a kit on the carb, works great. I always prime the beast down the carb to avoid the dozens of pulls Taryl did. I showed it to my son who cuts wood, he said, "I was offered one during a house cleaning, and turned it down". REAL heavy saw.
Xl12 like 52cc and the superxl is like 58cc more power.larger oiler reservoir
Wish i had my 330, scapped it just because of a bad intake manifold boot....dumb.
My now 80 year old dad bought a brand new PL4 from Landis Engine Company in Nebraska City Ne in March 1967, for around $250 with an extra bar & 5 chains.
That man & saw cleared idk how many acres of farm ground, plus cut a zillion cords of firewood.
Still his go-to saw. In all these years it’s had 1 set of points & condenser, umpteen carb rebuilds and idk how many starter ropes & clutch drums.
This surviving original bar is shot beyond belief, and is marked “Stellite”. You can’t tough the burrs on it with a file.
That saw is loyal like no other..
Built him a damn nice Echo CS400 last year…with vibration dampening & auto oiler he doesn’t know he’d been missing!
Those were some good old saws. I have an old PL5 sold by Agway. It sits for looong periods of time and it'll start and run perfectly every time I start it. Pretty crude sounding saw.
Taking a shower in the sink? Love those little details.
Like washing a car with a car Squeegee.🤣
When I was A young aspiring Technician back in the 70's we moonlighted for a large tree trimming operation and did the majority of maintenance on all of the equipment which mostly consisted of Stihl,Homelight,Remington and Mcouloch Saws along with various other high wear tools and equipment.I recently did a piston replacement on a Stihl 032AV for one of the sons of the original Owners who just wanted a running saw that was used by his pops who had passed away a few yrs back,probably will just hang in Mancave as a conversation peice and to have something that reminds him of his Dad,yet can still be used if needed.Its neat to watch your vids as they remind me of days gone by along with just good,solid mechanic work,A+ on this one Taryl Dactyl .......
That engine is in good shape still and made quick work of that log. Nice old saw, great episode guys 👍
we had one of these in the 60's only it was blue and white, their big selling point was the roller nose it even came with a special grease gun to inject grease in the roller.
a great video Taryl ! Please keep them coming ! Thanks for all you hard work and shearing your knowledge
...them darn little carburetor pieces... but once it was straightened out, that saw ripped! Great video!
What a great way to start off a beautiful Sunday morning - with Mr. Dactyl and his oh so talented family of performers!! Now he is preserving another piece of small motor history while educating and entertaining. us which of course is the specialty!! I hope this cold weather and snow has brought more prosperity to y'alls business fellas. Thank you for another great show!!!
I used to have a homelite XL12, it looked the same as that Remington. That saw was a beast, very powerful saw and loud too. I wish I still had that saw. Good job Daryl.
I like the old manual oilers.
When the rope pulled off it reminded me of taking the saw to the garage to fix the rope. Check it out. Then walk out back to do more cutting just to have it jamb right back up again.
Love the videos on the old stuff, Great Job !
I have 2 Homelite 330 and love the older saws. Good to see someone else rebuilds them.
I have a chainsaw collection of around 60saws, Half of them are vintage homelites! I have six 330 homelites and one of those saws was the 250th saw made on the 250th day of the year and a 1979 that was the 79th saw off the assembly line! I logged with one that I still own, And I thought it did a pretty good job for as hard as I ran the thing. It's a must that you do a exaust mod on this model if you want it to run good.
@@tonymayhew191 what exhaust mod are you referring
The old saw cut very well seeing that you were rip cutting instead of cross cutting. Great work, Taryl.
Favorite episode yet
I have that same chainsaw with a 15" bar. My father bought it new in 1972. Thanks for a great video I needed a good laugh. Peace
Nice job. Looked like it actually cut really nice.
That rope, ripping out, just as the saw started..... That was solid gold... Hilarious! You couldn't film that if you tried.....
I've said this before, during the monthly engine start videos... Nobody pulls that rope like Taryl. He RIPS that rope.... Dude could probably start a 6.2 Yukon Denali with a rope, and some gloves....
If you cleaned that thing up, it'd probably look great in a chainsaw collection. Neat saw.... I was sort of waiting for you to tell us who really made it. It clearly was branded Remington, and someone else made it...
Homelite…….
Sure looks like a homelite but that starter was a Fairbanks morse type.
It's a Pioneer.
Now this is my kind of video. Love this one! Great saw and info.
Good video bud. I like it that you include real experience mistakes. I have learned a lot from you over the years.
just love to watch you guys so funny and informative
Good video Taryl. I liked the carb rebuild. Nice to know that even the pro's get thrashed a bit by repairs.
love all the little sound fx.. lol ..great
Nice one Taryl, I love old vintage saws, I collect them. I had that problem with my vintage Homelite C5 chainsaw when trying to get it running, wouldn't pump fuel even after putting a carb kit in the carburetor. Looked at the reeds and they weren't sealing, this saw has 4 reeds, so I replaced them and still wasn't pulling fuel so I was stumped. Then I tried priming the carburetor by forcing fuel into the line and it started working, runs like a top now!
Putting alot of work into that wallhanger :D Greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the videos. Very entertaining and helpful.
I was given on of those back in the summer rebranded as a Montgomery wards (wards paint color ) and all it took was a carb kit to get it running . I cut some wood with it and it did a great job. But as with old saws parts are hard to find except for carb kits so it will be now a Shelf Queen .
Nice Job Taryl! I love old Chainsaws!🤪
That looks like the Stens pull cord... That is the only stuff I use for pull cords now I like it so much.
Getting caught up on some of the videos that I haven’t seen before… Taryl, there’s a big difference between a lubricants and penetrants! PB Blaster is a penetrant where your gel lube is just that, a lubricant, (just as it says in its name…“Gel LUBE”
When I do those starters, I just wrapped the cord around it while it is out and I go one more turn around, that way when I pull it out, it wants to go back to the same spot where it has the rope already in it so I don’t have that fighting with that thing like you did. Other than those two things you do quite well. Keep up the good work!
Edward H - just down the street from Podunk Road in Madison, Connecticut
When that rope came off on the pull that started it I laughed my ass off!!
very NICE fix there Taryl!!! That saw is REALLY nice!!! I bet once you clean it up really well on the outside - even re-paint it if you want - that thing would look AWESOME!!! VERY NICE!!!
Taryl,
I watched your video on a John Deere GX345, surging issue. So I was having that problem with my GX345. I’m pretty mechanically apt but your video made it much easier. I just wanted to thank you for that. The three jets that are stacked up is where the problem was just like you said. I took the last jet out and it was loaded with crap in there. I’m thinking of adding a second fuel filter. I service my tractor every year and the one filter must not be cutting it. It’s a John Deere filter from the John Deere maintenance kit. It looks like a cheap filter. I’ve seen ones that look better at O’Reilly auto parts. But I have had this tractor for eleven years before it started surging so I can’t complain too much.
I really like your channel, you guy’s are a riot. But when you are fixing stuff, your serious business.
Thanks, from Western Massachusetts!
love the bloopers lol!
Thank you for the video
Loved the blooper of your pull rope breaking.
Producer: "Cut!" ...(no pun intended.)
Wow I thought that today you meet your mach this saw give you some trouble, but you fixed it correctly 😉👍congratulations 👏
Good one Taryl on the mix/Micks - great video as always
Great video taryl you and the crew have a great week
I like to see that even a super-Pro like you Taryl, still has some "fails" once and a while.
I just replaced the scraper blade on my Honda snowblower, and nothing went well.
I even wailed my thumb nail with a ball peen hammer.
Keep up the awesome videos, I impatiently wait for each new one !!
I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS VIDEO PRETTY COOL THE FUEL PUMPS ALMOST LIKE A MOTORBOAT EVINRUDE
I remember scuba diving a few fresh water lakes up north and saw 50 or more chainsaws and as many snow-mobiles down on the bottom!
I own a SL-9 1977 Remington chainsaw and a matching Pow-R-Cut multi purpose cut off saw. These things were made like a sherman tank! I own about 60 chainsaws and half of them are vintage homelites! I am not at all worried about saving the earth! The louder the better! And after reading some of the comments on this saw. It doesn't look nor is it made by homelite! The saw that copied homelite was a Lombard! I have a 1967 camango and it looks exactly like a homelite XL 12. And you should always put enough string on the pullstarter that your not coming to the end of the string because it will break the pully or the string or both! And always set the saw on the ground and put your hand on the handle bar and pull with the other, But drop starting it is begging for trouble!😉
Another great vidio
We've all been there Taryl. Great channel.
txs for sharing...
Thanks for dinner Taryl.. In this vid. You really worked extra hard to set the table.
I had one of those years ago. It ran great. I left it when I sold my property by mistake in the shed. 🙁
I think the only saw louder than an old Remington is a Homelite 4-20 which had no mufkin, just a box with a screen to catch big sparks.
I was paying attention! I noticed the sdrawkcab fuel pump diaphragm on the original installation and was going to research because I thought my memory was wrong!
Your human, like the rest of "us".Thanks for telling us where you made a mistake.
Great video
Good job. About reading glasses, get the all plastic framed ones without the wired nose piece. They are so much lighter than the wire framed glasses and stay in place on one's face. They usually sell them in packs of 3 for cheap. And there's your dinner.
Kind of a homelite that I had years ago . Cuts pretty nice .
Dude you're crazy...but you do good work!! I like it! I just picked up one of these saws, similar condition. Thanks for the vid!
It's similar to my old pioneer 1200a I rebuilt last year, after finding an oem cylinder for it on ebay. After all the work I did, I found that the gas line inside the carb was swollen where it plugged onto the fitting to exit the tank to the carb on the outside, making it suck air. After replacing the line, it runs like new.
I blame my glasses to Terrell😉nice work !
You saved my dinner. I was going to put the plastic sheet on the wrong side😅
I want to see that reed valve again! That para cord works wonders for the recoil rope! Fire it up Fire it up!
Reminds me of a old green poulan chainsaws everyone had back in the day. Had to pull the damn things until your back went out to get it to start from cold, but after that if you didn't let it cool down all the way the rest of the day it'd be a fairly good light brush and small limb saw.
Nice vid.
I have a PL4 that needs a piston. I must spend some time with it.
Taryl's toenails are like old corn chips 😆
You guys are hilarious, best wishes from Montreal, Canada.
I have a Remington 65 that I restored last year, it's a big strong beast. 1964 model I think.
Looks exactly like the blue Homelite XL-12 my dad bought new in the early sixties. They must have been sold under many nameplates. Ran good but after many years the gas tank which was a integral part of the whole case separated and sealed by a gasket would leak and not hold fuel while stored.
HAHAHA---at 48:18 Mr. Cameraman takes cover as the chain is whipping around on that saw. Gotta love it,
I'm not sure what model my Grandpa had but the patent dates were 1959 and the saw was a white top just like yours. It belongs under the bench next to an XL-12 and a 10-10
Hi Taryl Can you do a show about different oils / lubes / grease / cleaning solutions and solvents and note your favorites? Greatly appreciated!
I have one of these saws mine is called WEN must have been made by Remington had bought it in the 60s or 70s. Have not run it in 30 years maybe I will have to see if I can get it going, thanks, love your channel 👍 Ken in Michigan.
I used to hate working on those old saws, but like you said they sure can cut some wood.
Good job on that old Chainsaw
👀👀🍿🍿👍👍great video Taryl
I now have a craving for corn chips. Thanks man.
Looks like the chainsaw Ash had in Army of Darkness! Kewl chainsaw regardless! Keep up the awesome work and hilarious videos!
Love it love it
