 Shaber 1000 here. Let's check out this steel chain saw. Figure out what's wrong with it. Okay guys so in the last video I was talking about this saw a little bit and um there's a story that goes with it. Got this saw cheap. The guy said he used it one day. Next day it wouldn't start. Now you sound like you knew a little bit about you know what's going on with these things you know how to mix them all that. And he said uh he thought it was a plug. He didn't have a plug to put in it but he had another saw. So he took the spark plug out of his other saw stuck in here wouldn't start. He took the plug that that was in this put it in his other saw and it fired right up. So his other saw would run on both spark plugs so he just put the plug back in this and said I ain't gonna mess with it. I put a little fuel in it. I pulled it a couple times he's right. It won't it won't uh it doesn't act like well it doesn't act like anything it won't start here. I'll show you what I'm talking about here. Okay now I did put a little fuel in there didn't have much in it but I added a little bit more okay so not doing anything it's not firing. So I think we should pull the spark plug out and the first thing is check for spark okay that's what I'm guessing because I'm smelling fuel you know but it's not even trying to run. So let's get you down here to where you can get a good look at this thing and the spark plug is right under this. So we're going to take this off and I'll show you how to do that let me get you down here where you can see a little bit better okay so this all you got to do turn it a quarter turn make sure you're all the way on choke so this comes out real easy it's a little dirty not bad I mean I've seen worse uh the filter I could probably use one but I don't see this causing any issues so what we're going to do is we're going to pull spark plug out and see hmm well that was on there but it wasn't on there good you gotta see that because I don't know what you can see on let me get my glasses on here there's the there's a spark plug wire comes directly from the coil this wasn't on there very good at all these just get put on there and they get screwed on kind of like I showed you if you guys watched the the video of my bike my four-wheeler these just get screwed on now this could be an issue but usually that's the first thing I'll check a spark where's my tester let me grab my tester if I can get this to work on here this is like you can use a test light too put that on there this doesn't check the spark plug but it does check the coil for spark so let's see can't hold this thing you guys see that all right I see a spark I'll bet you that's all that's wrong with this thing now he told me that because I can see fuel down in the carburetor I don't know if you can see it down in there see it's wet so this is getting fuel uh whether it's getting the right amount I don't know this guy stopped by he sees me out here working on this stuff all the time he asked me what I charge well first you know what I charge to work on him I told him you know it just all depends you know whatever's wrong with it like I said he didn't know know what was going on with it finally said well you know what he said he already bought a new one I don't know if it was brand new he didn't say or if he just to him it was new so he said he interested in it he said well yeah I'm interested in it you know we pulled it a couple times didn't start he said what you give for it so I said not much you know I'm in the reset I don't know what's wrong with it I say it could have a scored piston you know I don't know he says it's worth five bucks to you tried to contain my excitement anything to me is worth five bucks because the coil alone if you know that's good that's five bucks it's carburetor's good you know I mean yeah uh y'all take it I bought it for five bucks now I don't know I don't know if that's the issue or not I'm kind of half scared to start it now but let's see maybe it'll run maybe it'll be something else but you would think even though that was on there somewhat it would arc a spark so I'm going to trust this thing so I noticed getting sparked to the plug and he said that spark plug ran and he's other saw so that's telling me the plug's good and I see it is getting fuel so let's um let's try to start this puppy up this thing when you start these these older stills like this I don't know how to do this here's your choke you hold your pull your throttle all the way open and you push your choke button down that gives it throttle and it's choked okay and then of course when you okay I had too far okay so then when you pull the throttle it pops itself off a choke so there's no primer on these ones so let's try let's see what we got here see if this is the if that was what was the issue or not we'll see I think I just fired could be flooded now so let's take it off a choke Eric fired I love deals like that and the moral of this story is check everything I mean I just pulled it off there and it popped off um these things this guy you could tell uses these things a lot I don't know if he had a yard lawn service or what but I mean if you use them a couple times a year change your spark plug every year if you uh if you use it more than that if you're using it all year you say let's say even if you use it once a week change your spark plug twice a year um because they will fall out because they burn oil because they're gas and all mix so they can fall out um so I think that was the issue all along I just happened to pull a little harder I don't know or it just got to where it was so loose when I pulled it off it came off so if he'd done it one more time that probably would have happened and he would have I wouldn't have the saw because he would have just put it back on so let's put this thing back together filter in there's your choke deal right there so put all the way down on choke slide this back on make sure all your lines line up that's it all right let's put a chain on here let's see if it'll cut wood all right guys I had to change the bar and the chain because that is not the right chain so I used I have an old bar and just an old chain I don't know how sharp it is that I had laying around I put that on there that should be all right now we're going to take it out see how well it cuts because sometimes these things once you get a loan on them they won't uh they don't like they'll like bog down if they've got a carburetor issue or something to that nature something of that nature so I'm going to cut that piece of wood up right there or cut some of it that's what it seemed to be cutting pretty good that chain was fairly sharp I didn't think it'd be that sharp but it cut through that uh water oak pretty quick if I sharpened it'd be a lot better I think her dad's got an extra bar and chain at their place for his saw if he's got a steel as well so I'll pick that up but in the meantime if I need this it'll be fine so this has now become my personal saw so anyways anyway guys like I said before and check everything got lucky on this one very lucky once in a while you come across stuff like this here lately I've been getting quite a few people just don't want to mess with things anymore they don't want to take time look through it or they don't know how I can use the saw but I don't know how to work on them you know and and that's fine just like how many people can drive a car but they can't work on them it's just it's the same thing you know but these things you they're so temperamental I don't care brand new saw you know you're going to have to change a plug you're going to have to adjust the carburetors on them you know you're going to have to do work you're going to have to do stuff like that on them so I'm pretty happy with it so I'm going to clean this up and this will be my personal baby here so guys thanks for watching wrenching with me here in the garage for a little bit today appreciate it yeah I know I wasn't going to do any more today but I thought man there can't be much wrong with this thing you know so I wanted to go ahead and check it out so I've got one uh processing right now the one you'll see before this one the one you just watched I should say for most of you but so anyway guys thanks for watching appreciate it she bear the myth man legend I'm gone
