- Join me on my quest to get this Free Sears 3.7 Craftsman (made by Roper) Old Chainsaw running. Started working on it and realized it says "High Performance " on it....let's see if there's any truth to that. Saw had no spark and a fuel delivery problem as well, but we found a hidden Decompression valve and some other cool features that surprised me! Sears actually sold a Quality product back in the day....we'll get her running and cutting again and you be the judge

Very cool old saw! I miss the days when Craftsman had quality stuff.
I know right 😉

Dude every video you’ve got me wanting to hunt down these old gems!
Old saws are Awesome!
Changing the duck bill in the gas tank shure fun lol behind the fly wheel got take that little cover off by the fuel screws
Them saws were ahead of there time wieght and power and realy built well
I know, I was impressed!
I was the same way thought mine was junk but after working on it the saws were way ahead of there time iv cut a trailer load of locust now that some hard wood it done great
I know right, very nice quality 👌
Cool old saw. Vacuum powered headlight covers were cool on 67 cougars and rs camaros- loved it when they got 5 years old and only one cover would operate.
Haha, very true... My Dad had a 67 Camaro RS/SS and the headlight doors were always open....lol
That things tricked out for back in the day! Cool saw
I know right, Deluxe!

Very cool!
Really love the look of these older saws!! Hardly any plastic, nice 1 dan

They are cool old saws. I have one that runs and 3 projects or parts saws . Hopefully I can get at least one more running.
Heck yeah Brian, get er done!
Cleaned up like new! Sounds good too.
She's a keeper!
Very cool. I the exact same saw. You have inspired me to get it running.

No problem 👍😉
I had mine apart I re sealed the tank laped both halves used seal all it work great
sweet old saw
Way cool. Seems like a fun project
It is and was....lol
Nice work Kain, you have a runner there buddy. Looks to be a real quality saw. Thinking it is a 60s model huh?
Thanks Steve, yeah late 60s early 70s?
Looks very Homelite
Indeed!
Those old Craftsman saws don't have much of a following, but they're cool little saws! I like it...and 60cc!
I know right, they sorta got a bad rap...but they had some quality stuff back then 😊
They did!
Dan, I really dig that con-rod tat on your right hand! I’ve never seen anything like that. It’s just so…FRIGGEN AWESOME 😉🫡
That self sharpening system required a “Barracuda” chain. At one time, Oregon sold them. But I’ve not seen that chain in years in their catalog.
Thanks Todd! I was wondering about that chain...appreciate you
@@KainKustomGarage Don’t worry about it Dan. I’ve got a few saws AND they fascinate me. They’re fun to run. I’ve somehow become what a dealer I frequent calls a “chainsaw nerd”. It’s okay because I told him “THANKS for your complement”! 🤭
My orange sears ranger does real good paint coming off of mine some I had acedent with acetone lol
That's a really nice saw.
Thanks man, it turned out nice!
It’s so hard to find those with a good air cleaner cover. I have one that I need a cover for. I only picked it up because it has a roller nose bar
I know right, this one is cracked but still looks ok...lol
There also a duck bill in the middle oil line going to the tank if that goes bad tge saw will smoke horrible that line goes to the crank case by the reeds mine got the power sharp I will never use bad way to sharpen one think takes a certain chain for them
Thanks for the info man!
Just like my blue one I zapped mine with a battery charger on 2amp it fires good now iv fixed a bunch of saws like that
Interesting!
Mine orange saw the comp relief is on the mufler side has a linkage
Sears had one called a barracuda
Interesting 🤔
Bet'cha got hard chrome cylinder
Iv got one has a barb on the tank but my orange one totally difrent its like a xl 12
Reed arrangement is XL-ish as well
Yessir 😊
A saw from when Sears was SEARS!
Yessir!😉
Mesin bagus
I’m just getting into old chainsaws and they seem to be really fun I got my first one a couple months ago and it is a poulan 361 do you know anything about those saws I can’t find to much info about them.
Hello Clark, I have a 306 Poulan that I haven't dug into yet...check out the Chainsaw Collectors Corner website...Huge catalog of information on there😊
@@KainKustomGarage thanks Dan I appreciate it👍👍🫡
My old XL is the easiest cold starter of all my saws, hands down.
I've noticed that too, they all seem to start well
@@KainKustomGarageIt’s because they are fuel hogs, the carbs have tons of gas in them when you pull to start. My old 031 does the same thing.
They got a compresion release it's the kill switch
Took me a while to figure it out...lol
This is all great but, we're are you with my saw ? . It's been a while ...
Yeah, need to get that thing going! Good excuse to do a Power Mac 6 video😊
niiiiicccccceeeeee nice
Thanks Bill!!!!!!😉
Dan what’s your favorite chainsaw
Oh man, I'm sort of liking the Old Jonserds saws right now😊
I knowed you would get it fixed
😁👍👍
sup
😁
Very little use on it
No slouch for sure
