Stihl chainsaw bogging down, has no power or is leaking fuel? CHECK THIS! Repair/Vlog #Chickanic

I thought that the tank vent was usually in the tank cap; why does stihl think is necessary to put it on a hose away from the tank......

taking something apart is easy, it's putting it back together when it can get frustrating. Like to see more demo's of putting a chainsaw back together, and see if it works.

Love your videos. I have a stihl ms 200t that I didn’t think had a tank vent then looked and found where it should be, but can’t find the part anywhere 🥲

damn your all wrong here ??????? the air vent is so the fueltank dont build up a vaccum so the machine cant suck fuel to the carburettor, and the neddle prevent to much fuel to the carburettor, as with the settingscrews damnd

Dam, you're good! Not two hours before I saw this video I found the same problem with a pinched vent line on my MS 210. I think the tank was being pressurized so much that fuel was being pushed up around the fuel suction line grommet. I will look especially close to prevent this from happening again. I keep learning from you gal.

028 wood boss gas tank vent - you never said what the set screws in the vent tube were for. great videos !

Have a ms250 That I had for a while. Bogged down and die on me. It start right back up and run for a few seconds and this bog again and die. After a few times it would start. First thing I thought was compression. That checked good. spark was good. So only thing left was fuel. Saw your video and soon as you said tank vent i paused the video and checked mine and noticed it was pinched in the back as you explained in your video when I Finished watching it. Fixed it and seem to run good now. Sometimes you just forget to check the silly stuff. Thank you

Snip Off That Original Vent and Install an Echo Style Vent 😊😊 Yur Golden 😊

What creates the pressure in the tank? Is it just the temp increase that does the same thing to plastic gas cans?

I have a 362 stihl . The problem is that the saw quits when it is hot and won't start until it cools off. Any ideas.

For years i wished my wife had more mechanical know how...then i came to my senses.Last thing i need is somebody criticising my wrenching.😂

I have learned more about my yard equipment over the past two weeks since I found your channel than I have in the previous two years elsewhere.

I got one of those Ole school wood boss!

I have an electric, corded Harbor Freight chain saw, should I use non ethanol gas in it?

My ms 462 is bogging down when I press the throttle

did you get any pushback from any of the gas companies about your ethanol test where even the non-ethanol fuel had ethanol

How does a "tower" style vent work on my 1987 024? It has a screw on top.

good video this one

👍

How does a vent tube "vent" with a couple set screws stuff inside it??? 🤔

Thanks for helping us find ways to save money and avoid frustration with our machines. You explain things so we understand.

Have you work on a 36" Chain saw befor

Sorry but the tank vent explanation is BS. The vent lets mainly air in to not create a vacuum when the fuel is sucked out. Also, when sitting in the sun it allows to let gas fumes out when the tank heats up. So it works both ways.

I appreciate you and your expertise. I never even realized there was a tank vent. ✌️

I bought a new MS 250 in 2008 !
I really like the power weight ratio , great saw !
Thanks for the tip on that !
You do very well at this tech !

Stihl or someone else doesn't make a plastic elbow to eliminate the pinch?

Chur you rock!! NZ

Well my Stihl MS260 is running great. Installed a new tank vent, new air filter and a slight adjustment to the carb and it's running fantastic!
Now it's on to the complete rebuild of my 2000 Stihl 046. I got it free as a box of parts when I purchased a Poulan Pro 260 and 262 for $20 for the pair. He was just happy to make a few bucks of saws he thought there destined for the landfill. I thought it anything I could strip the good parts, the clutch, maybe the chassis, bar studs, chain catcher, the engine shroud, starter and clutch cover, maybe the exhaust, pressure test the carbs and maybe rebuild them etc and trash the rest. Well in less than a week and with bare minimal parts I had both saws running beautifully and both where sold. That was 2 years ago. I still haven't touched the Stihl 046. But since I started processing my own wood left from Storm debris and trees people have cut down and need removed I started thinking the 046 would be a good saw to use with a chainsaw mill. After all I'm not processing anything larger than 12". Well at least that's the size of my planer. I guess I could cut larger and cut it down with the table saw. But I don't plan on cutting anything larger than my planer can handle really. So the 046 should be great with the mill. I just gotta rebuild it from the ground up. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure there is a leak in the fuel tank and it may need a new chassis depending on the size of the leak. I may be able to patch it. Just not sure what will work and hold indefinitely being in constant contact with fuel add 2 cycle oil. And I'm not sure I like the idea of using an after market chassis. Anyone with any tips on how to patch a hole in a fuel tank I'm more than willing to hear what you have to say. After all a Stihl 046 that's in dependable running condition and hasn't been rebuilt with a bunch of Chinese parts has a nice resale value. I have the OEM Gasket kit order as well a several other parts such as the sprocket, carb, air filter and ignition coil. The flywheel seems to be in good condition, but I'm replacing the starter Pawls just in case. The springs look weak. I might as well replace the starter spring while I'm at it. If it's original most likely it's got plenty of wear on it to. I guess it's a good thing I started with rebuilding all those Poulans before I tackled this one. I have about 18 total rebuilds under my belt, just not a Stihl. Any tips would be appreciated.

👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you. I have a 250, now I know what to look for.

I still use my dad's 40-year-old 028 WoodBoss, it's the best saw ever! I have only tuned it up twice in 40 years and still runs like a champ! I love your videos I learn so much. Thanks!!!

I So Do Absolutely Love this Lady. Going to check my 261. This may be what’s bogging dwn my Stijl. Greetings from Oklahoma.

Could at least reference the thumbnail in the video?

Thanks for the information, keep up with the great work.

The vent allows air into the tank to replace the volume of fuel that has been consumed. The vent allows air in since removing the fuel generates a negative pressure in the tank. While allowing air in it prevents fuel vapor from escaping.

My wife can’t even start the lawnmower

Thanks for the neat tips.

Hey Chic, I'm not very good on these smart phones. I have been watching your videos lately and you tell that below is a description of all your tools and where to get them. But I can't for the life of me, find them. Could you explain to a 59 year old dummy how to find the link. Thank you so much. And buy the way, love your videos, you are so smart.

Thank you. Love the cat!

Any thoughts on what to do with a plastic carb that's glued together so you can't access the jets to clean it? Thanks for your great channel.

I'm still waiting for your thorough review of the AMSoil 100:1 oil.

I have a question. What would cause a riding mower to smoke and act like it's going to choke down when the blades are engaged ?

I sent you mail on yahoo. I am ready to buy. I would like to trade with you but let me know where to turn. Thanks. Jeff

Current tank vents never let any air out, only in. They are one-way valves. If you are flooding, it is because the metering valve is not seating correctly. Tanks never develop more than 3-4psi pressure and all carburetors are designed to handle at least 7psi pressure. I own a small engine shop and specialize in Stihl equipment.

Just gave you a blast out on Alaskan Prepper. You are awesome!!! thank you for assisting us all to work hard and get sh*t done!

My MS250 had a bad problem with bogging down - now I know why! Cheers, Lass...
would it be possible to get a dremel tool and kinda sorta notch out the plastic to give the tube just a scunch more room and not pinch?

Do you know were i can find a carburetor kit for a echo pb2520
