I watched your video yesterday on the worst comments, your not an asshole i like you and your videos are awesome keep up the good work and keep those videos coming. Im from outside of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania USA👍👍👍
Thank You...
Thank You Steve as I do all my Maintenance myself on all my Saws. I am going to do this starting from now on.
Excellent!
Half a Fosters can down watching the video here in Arizona. About that time to go into the woods and make some noise. Great tips man. Stihl- user out.
Right on...
GREAT MECHANIC.
Thank You...
Yes sir! it's all about preventive maintenance. A few bucks on lube is whole lot cheaper than more bucks spent on New.
Right on
I've learned more about small engine repair especially chainsaws in the last couple of hours watching your videos than I have in decades of working with them. Thank you very much!
Wow, thanks!
DOUBLE THUMBS UP ON THAT ONE!
Thank You...
Looks like a great series in the making.
Thank You...
That's a new one for me. Thanks
You're Welcome...
This is some more Canuck gold Steve!
Thank You...
Good advice and good beer.
Thank You...
Never knew that!
Very informative!
Thank You...
Lov it
Thank You...
Thanks mate. Got to give my 390 a full service today and I'll add that to the list.
You're Welcome...
Thats an awesome tip Steve, Thanks
LOL!!!!!! You totally busted me up with the "Beer is considered a staple around the world".... Your channel is so awesome!! To get such spot on mechanical advice blended with your totally awesome sense of humor!!! tks for the video again Steve!!
Right on...Thank You...and You're Welcome...
thats a great tip......Ive had my ms310 since 2005.....never had an issue with the pull starter.......and have never done anythign to the pull starter......I think I'll lube it up this week since I need to get cutting firewood once the weather turns decent to be outside.
Right on...
Great tip Steve, appreciate it... Miller beer, the " Snake Piss " of American beers. That stuff is enough to gag a maggot!
In all seriousness, I never, ever thought to lubricate my rope spring in my 45 years of running power saws... lol!
Thank You..
Thanks Steve. I'm not in the woods all day but something so simple I never gave a thought to. And it's basic matainance.
You're Welcome...
Always learning something new. Love it
Thank You...
Awesome tip Steve...Thank you from Massachusetts USA!
You're Welcome...
That is a nice tip which I didn't know and I will try it on my Stihl saw which I can't get to crank because the rope won't come out like it should when I try to crank it. The guy at the repair shop cranked it before giving the saw to me, but when I got home and tried the same thing the rope would not come out like it should. This saw have not given me a good hour of service since owning it new. I have an old Poulan saw which have the same problem and I will try this technique on it also.
Great tips as always keep them coming, thanks Steve
You're Welcome...
Nice tip! Worked well on my old 021, with the square logo. Got curious and tried this on my brand new 261cm (made december 2019), and it didn't work. The small tabs that go into the holes where you add lubricant snapped off, and were stuck in the holes. The logo plate seems to be redesigned. Just a warning if anyone wants to try this with a newer saw! My saw is made in Germany. I live by the saying «If it ain't broken, fix it til it breaks» 😁
you go Bro! I enjoy your straight no nonsense approach Steve, thanks for taking the time to do these videos, you are a great help to those who just want to get on with it, help like yours is the same as a buddy that lends you that $50 when you really need it and if you want to drink beer while you do it, more power to you brother.
Thank You...
Thanks Steve... I'd use MGD but free fixes are the best. So is your channel.
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Great video. Simple fast and does the job. I had no idea that was behind the cover. Thanks.
You're Welcome...
Steve, I love your video's and I've learned so much the past few days, thank you! I was wondering if you could do one on "waking up" equipment (maybe an old 020T for instance?) that's been sitting around for an unknown amount of time? Thanks again and keep the video's coming!
Nice easy tip you explain things well one of my favorites was when you started out with the bad beer but I don't remember which one it was.
Right on...
Great video Steve
Thank You...
Another great one , almost mist this one ,was on holiday , unfortunately I only use husqvarna but you are so good I forgive you 👍😂à bientôt 🐸😉🇫🇷 🇮🇪
Thank You...
Great tip
Thank You...
EASY is the operative word
Thank you
I have used that tip it works thanks
Right on Dave...
Ah, Great timing Steve, Was going to start a 028 last week and the starter acted a little stiff and didn't want to retract like it should! I just grabbed up my 029 and went to work. Will definitely try this out in the morning! Thanks a million and have a great day.
Right on....
Thanks Steve , great tip . On some of the push mowers you can do this same thing similarly .
Right on...
Really liking the idea of this Fast Fix series as it's often the 'little things' that people don't know, that will keep them out of the shop. Liked this first vid , but had hoped you would say a little more about the same fix on other brands. Cheers!
Coming soon...
Awesome...thanks Steve!!
DAM, STEVE, STEVE,STEVE WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? HOLD THAT BEER IN THE OTHER HAND!!! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, YOU ARE THE BEST AT WHAT YOU DO!!!

Does this work with all/most pull starts? I have a Honda Lawnmower that’s a bit tricky. Great videos, very informative and helpful when dealing with smaller engines. 👍🏻
never knew that steve thanks for that tip
You're Welcome...
Good Video. Being a Husky owner I would really appreciate info on that brand for this...I am sure it is not as easy as a Stihl...I am sure you are up for the challenge!
😇thumbs up Steve thanks for sharing your knowledge I did not know this.
You're Welcome...
Great video, I had to sharpen my chain at the same time just because I had half a glass of Canadian whiskey left
LOL. Right on Will....
Yèah Mon! Thumbs up! Never knew that about the logo, thanks!

Good one Steve!!
Thank You...
Ahh more hidden tricks! Kinda like those secret carb screws...anyway great to know. P.S. that's a fine Beer 🍻
Right on...
Steve, help!! I have a Stihl BR600 that worked perfectly yesterday. Oil mixed with gas at 50:1-absolutely positive, NOT straight gas. Was blowing snow off driveway as done many times. Went to start today, rope won't budge, locked up. Ideas? Machine has been flawless up to now.
Chainsaws and beer my kinda instructor right their !
Right on...
I'll try that on my MS170
Right on...
Man those video inserts of you handling small parts is Steven Speilberg shit right there ! Keep up the good work. Cheers (Litterally, I have a beer in my hand)
Right on Buddy! Thank You...
Thumbs up my Friend
Thank You...
That a boy Steve O 👍😎✊
Right on...
Steve do you have a video how does the oil pump works?
I have an old Sears Chainsaw and the starter spring flew out when I took it apart. Just prior to it flying out I couldn't imagine what I was looking at. It looked like a bunch of figure 8's all intertwined.The initial symptoms was that the starter rope was extremely hard to pull and when it moved, it moved in about 2-3 inch segments. But it did retract. My guess is that one end of the spring came off and it went haywire after that. I see where both ends of the spring have to end up, but I'm not sure how to accomplish that. I'm guessing now that I'v cleaned the compartment out , I just attach the outside and wind it up until it looks like it will align with the inside (pulley) and rope then put the "c" ring back on and whalla. The spring has a blue plastic material under it on the outside hub of the starter. It also has a black semi-stiff vinyl ring that goes over the top before the pulley is slid on to the shaft. They were caked with hard grease. All clean now. Will lube spring with T-9 spray prior to assy. Any videos or suggestions?
Hello Steve really enjoy the channel what kind of lubricant are you using
I see the echo sign, can you make a playlist of just echo equipment repairs/information?
nice video man! steve i have a husky 141 and the amount of oil that goes to the chain in this older small huskys isnt much. all the oil system its fine. A logger told me that u can put a cap of gas on the oil tank each time i refeel it and it will increace the oil flow a bit. is there any logic on that idea? does it work? thanks
Champagne of beers? thanks for the info.
Great tip! I'd say this though, if you can do it with a half a can of Miller High Life, it would probably only take you maybe a quarter to a third of a can of a darker beer. Just a theory though
Thanks, now I have to test that....
Great tip . Do most other brands have a way to do this too ? I have a Husqvarna. Thanks
Not that I am aware of....
I guess if it hasn't got a plug to take off then just drill a hole. Good tip thanks.
Hello Steve great video I was wondering what is the best to clean the chain lube system out my is getting less oil then when frist got it. Thank for all your great video's.
I believe I have a video for that in my chainsaw playlist...
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon ok I look thank you
Like #50 and I know what is going to happen to my 024 tomorrow.
Right on...
1/2 a Miller means that is really easy.
Hey I have a stihl ms 460 and the chain side of the saw has been getting excessively hot, it oils fine clutch drum spins freely. Just wondering if you might know what that might be?
