This guy is GOOD! I have a 11 year old '55 and he has given it a new life. Thanks.

Thank you for your videos! Just fixed my husband's 55 Husqvarna and it runs even better than before!

Молодец мастер. Прежде чем заниматься ремонтом бензопилы, он ее помыл. И приятно даже смотреть нам видео. Лайк мастеру.

These videos are amazing! I bought a rebuild kit but didn't really know what I was doing. I followed your step by step instructions and my Rancher 55 runs like brand new now! BTW, it seems like the best tutorial videos on just about any subject always come from Canada. Thank you from your neighbor to the South.

Great tutorial Donyboy. I've got a 55 and i'm considering putting a piston and ring. It's amazing how much wood it's cut. It's 17 yrs old and still going strong. Thanks very much for sharing your expertise. Great channel.

Thanks for the series on this engine rebuild, it was a great help! I just rebuilt a Poulan 2150 LE predator, I replaced the piston and rings but instead of replacing the cylinder I bore out the cylinder with a break cylinder bore. I followed your sequence of taking apart and putting the saw back together. The saw started right up. Thanks for the post and keep them coming!

Thanks for the video. I'm currently bring a Husqvarna 51 back to life.

Thanks for going through the effort to teach how this is done. It's a favourite, for sure.

Kickass step-by-step tutorial! I have no plans of rebuilding my saw yet, but feel way more confident in the project if it ever comes about! Thanks!

Used this set of videos to rebuild an old 51 and the process was very simple using the videos. Good attention to detail and shown on camera very well. I used an NWP brand piston kit from Bailey's online and have probably 10 tanks of gas on it and it has been fine so far.

Your videos are so helpful! Thank you so much for the clean, clear, simple videos. It takes an intelligent person to make complicated things so simple! Thanks a whole bunch!

I own a 55 Rancher. Watched all three of the redo vids. Superb job.Thank you.

I have found the outcome from vid 1&2! All three are excellent quality sound and video! Someone said they are therapeutic and I agree! Could watch em over and over! Thank you!!!

I followed your video for rebuilding my 55. It fired up on about the 5th pull and runs a treat. Many thanks!!

Really nice series of three videos, very well presented. I've got a Husky 51 I've had part way down but it was interesting to see the cylinder/piston R&R. Thanks for making such a clean video.

hey buddy thanks for the vid.probly the best video ive ever viewed on youtube.strait to the point.clear instructions step by step.im rebuilding a husky 51 & ordered the chinese piston & ring kit & you helped answer every question in my head.good job.thank you.

Hi Don. Thanks for a very good instructional vid. I put in a new chinese carb and cylinder set and it ran perfectly. Now I just need to fix the oilpump to the chain which is leaking. Keep up the good work!

@@donyboy73 Friend, the revolutions 13200 max for the saw 372xp oe 2003 are okay?

Very well assembled !!!! I was however,taught to run whatever I assemble as a motor first but that was with power tools,I do that with lawn equipment as well,when working in a business I had to do it that because it saves time pulling all that stuff off if a carby was plugged up with crap or something. When I did up a Stihl hedge trimmer, I fit the cutting blade last after testing it as a motor,the compression was 105 PSI with the new cylinder kit installed & 124 PSI when run in. That's because the cylinder & rings aren't perfectly round until the rings have bedded into the cylinder.

You're an excellent teacher donyboy...your videos are great and easy to understand. Thank you and keep up the good work. I feel confident I could perform a repair as long as I follow your instructions.

dony, That was a great tutorial video. Immensely helpful and much appreciated! Thank you!

Really good teaching, eh! Very complete and exacting. I plan to watch all 3 and refurbish my favorite chainsaw!

You are a PRO! You make it look so easy. Great job!

Danke, vor allem das Einhängen des Chokers und der Gasstange haben mir sehr geholfen, wirklich excellent dargestellt!

As far as HOW TO instruction videos or tutorials are concerned on ANY subject I think I have never encountered anything as good as what you have presented here. Congratulations on a job extremely well done.

Thanks for the vids donyboy73, you got a great teaching style, i use your videos for reference building my 372 hybrid..

the engine sounds pretty good now and plenty of power. a very good re build video.

Awesome work! The thing sounds fantastic.

Excellent Job DB! Now it needs power ported. Appreciated that you added additional oil to your fuel. All our hot saws are 32:1.

Great work and great series of videos. Rebuilding my ‘98 55 and just looking to see if it’s as straight forward as I expect… seems it will be. After all these years of 10 cords/yr, the top end finally gave out. It’s a great saw. Awful sad Husqvarna stopped making them. Probably their best homeowner size saw ever.

Gracias exelente video muy bien explicado un abrazo desde Puerto Rico!

Thank you very much Donyboy73. You helped me a lot.

NIce. Exactly what I needed (especially the throttle linkage to the carb!)

Donyboy73 Is the real deal. What a great video. As a DIY'er its videos like this that get the job done. Well done Sir, and thank you for saving me a trip to the stuck up local saw shop.

Nice one Dony. It will be interesting to see how your friend gets on with the saw when it does a bit of work. Most 2 strokes ive come across die early because of poor fuel mix as opposed to generally wearing out. Looking forward to the next one.....

@donboy73 Nice vid! I love cutting up wood myself, but starting to learn other things beyond changing and sharpening blades all the time. keep up the good work.

Excellent work, very good instruction. Thank you.

Great work on the video, very helpful, informative, and comprehensible. I am currently opening up my STIHL saw. Hoping that only piston and rings are gone and not anything in the crank case. ...........I will try my hand and documenting the project, and will let all you guys and gals how the project goes. >Thanks again Dony

thanks great video, you gave me the will to try to attempt the job myself.

I would have never thought this puppy ran 50:1 mix. thanks for the input. agree that a little extra oil is far better than too little.

Thank you so much! I liked everyone of your vids

worked perfectly,,,,great video ..ordered kit from Hong Kong,,,$40 screams like new ...thx Donny

This is why I went to small engine repair course because watching your videos thanks keep them comeing

Very helpful videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

I had no idea Husqvarna equipment were common overseas. That's cool to know! :) By the way, pronouce the "Q" like a K, and you'll be spot on with the name. "Huskvarna". :)

The best of such I have seen. Thank you!

enjoyed these 3 vids also great job..... and i learned alot of tips thanks!

hello dony, your videos pt. 1-2-3 was very knowledgeable, thanks for this information it was wonderful.

Nice detailed and very informative video series Don.Your channel is always my first database for information on small engines.Thanks

Your videos have helped me greatly.(Not just this one) always very well done, and informative. Thank you

Utterly professional...

Excellent video ….you covered everything exceptionally well

Thank you so much for your informative videos. You have helped me out numerous times! When I wasn't sure of something I always turn to your videos...awesome job.

I have been watching your videos for a long time and must say you really know how to teach, Your video quality is great your pitch and pace is perfect. I have a rancher 55 that I needed some direction after I started to put it together. Which way the arrow was oriented to the saw. Thanks and by all means keep it up.

Terrific video, best channel on YT.

Still one of my favorite videos. And it's 10 years old.

Hi there, I've just rebuilt my 55 thanks to your video and it's awesome. Thanks sooooo much for the idiot proof instructions ! My friend has a 51 that's broken, similar problem but also I think the crank bearings may be a little wobbly. Can u do a video showing how to get at the crank bearings please. Cheers. Al

Very informative video. Answered all my questions

You're very good teacher thank you you helped me a lot

HI Don, I'm about to tackle refurbishing a 51 Husqvarna because it's difficult to start. I read many of the comments from subscribers and that all are spot on. Thanks for sharing your expertise and time! I'm wondering if you have a video that addresses possible carburetor issues.

I had to put premix into cylinder to create fuel draw worked like a charm thanks

Great re- build

Brilliant clear video - you've given me the confidence to do my smaller Husq 137e. Do you know of any major differences that I might need to know between the two models? Thanks again.

Very nice and organized work ethics . Great job keep up the good work. Don

@maksnajper it is still running and worth it for the money, 50% cheaper but it won't last as long as an original cylinder kit

thanks for the video, I have just finished installing new piston & rings & cylinder on my BlueMax chainsaw. When I tried to start it up, I noticed it make loud metallic clank sounds when I pulled the starter. It did start, but only briefly. I called it quits for the day, and am hoping to get it running tomorrow. As in your video, I made certain the piston moved smoothly by turning the flywheel before re- assembling the saw, but I used 3 in 1 oil to lube it, as it was handy. Any ideas on the clanks? Or what should my next steps be? I appreciate your help, I'd not know what to do with my chainsaw otherwise. -Peter

Thankyou Donyboy!

You make great videos, Dony. My favourites are the chain saw videos of yours. Luckily I can do some firewood in the near future as the snow is melting rapidly... :~)

hi don, realy realy good,the other video to, lear'nt a lot here videos are good and clear and voice clear to. many thanks, lazy joe

Excellent tutorial...

Hi Dony, Thanks for sharing your informative videos. Do you suggest replacing the carb if there may have been bad gas as the cause for cyllinder scoring? Going to try and replace piston and cyllinder on a husky 372xp...first attempt. Best, Trevor

best vids -- great job

Hey Don,,, Nice work,,, saws like new compression wise. Saw you didn't do anything else, guess at ran till it seized? Great job.

great video series

Sounds very strong. Great Job i really enjoy these rebuild videos, btw you should rename the video Engine Rebuild On Husqvarna 55/51 Chainsaw. because I think that they have the same crankcase and one is 2 ccs bigger

Thanks for making this possible 🎉🎉😊

@TDHReviews i have one lined up for a stihl 026

After watching these videos I'm tempted to buy an old Husky 55 just to do a rebuild.

awesome video. How is the saw doing now? Do you still recommend the China made heads?

great vid thanks I see you are bundled up, how cold was it?

Hey donyboy I was wondering if you ever come across a husqvarna 40? If you have can you show a video of how the throttle linkage is set up?

Great video! Are you a professional mechanic or do it yourself guy. You fix things so well you look like a professional.

I was planning to do a video on this process on my briansmobile1 channel or maybe this one, but why? You did as good and as clear a job as can be done! EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT visuals and narration Donny!

Hi really liked this video!where do you buy your parts from?for all your lawnmower,chainsaw etc????

Don I have a Chinese 20" saw that says to run a mix of 25: 1 & I can't find out if that's what the company requires seems like it would be ok for the break in what do you think ?

@JimiKiwi thanks for watching and greetings from Canada

Great video, any follow up on how well the Chinese parts are holding up?

Hello Donyboy! Do you have a video shows how you tune these carburetors.. meaning so that it's getting enough fuel, and may last a bit until it scored again..would be great if you have a link, sir..

sort of yes, it does force air in the intake

Great video! What was that high pitched whining noise when it's running?

Fantastic sir. Thank you. I have a Husqvarna 50, ... should not be too much different :)

I am currently rebuilding my stihl ms660 with a new big bore kit when I go to start it for the first time should I adjust the carb settings or leave them at the stock settings

By chance do you have this vid anywhere that it can be downloaded? Like an AVI? I was able to dl #2 but 1 & 3 can't be. Settings seem to be turned off. Want to take my computer out to shop during rebuild to help prevent mistakes but no signal there so need to download first. Excellent helpful video!

nice shop Dud

Excellent thank you!
