so it seems like we haven't done a restoration or will it start video for quite a while here on
Machinery Nation so I got given this beautiful little Dan arm the other day so we're gonna
see if we can still get some life out of this and see if it'll start let's crack on so this
is a danam 136 Mark III it was built back in the 1970s here in good old England I know I'm
really proud to be able to work on a British made saw Unfortunately they don't make him
anymore so we've got to look after them and this saw only weighs in at 2.9 kilos which
in the 1970s is a very very light saw because most of them well they're like the size of a
bus and very heavy to pick up and everything so today we're going to strip down the basics
and put some fresh fuel in it get the chain working because that's just horrible see if
we can get it to start again right let's start stripping it down and then have some fun foreign
I'll be honest there's a lot of it
this is just sheep's ball loads of it yeah
it says Made in Stroud gloucestershire look at that how cool is that but then on the air filter
casing it says made in Canada I know right made in Canada who makes anything in Canada
piston in there is absolutely beautiful the saw has been stored really well it's not as bad as
I thought it was going to be on the inside but it was looking pretty nice I like it it's good
as long as we've got a spark that is gonna work the biggest fear there's no spark I need to find
a spark plug first I can't even find it ah I can see it it's in there under that cover
which why did they ever put spark plug spark plugs and spot the caps under the recall start
housing because then you can't really test it as easy rather frustrating but the spark
plug cap isn't on the plug someone's been in here fiddling before James oh yes they have
the coil and the flywheel everything looks in really good condition look at the carb it's so
clean in there looking really nice very impressed with that but there's a reason that that is not
on there and I need to find out why why is it not on there push it back on there okay
there's nothing to this or at all look at it it's tiny there's a Dinka Tinker Dinka Winker
um
we can put my impact and my drill drill properly on there
make it wind over see if we've got a spark so we'll take the spark plug out
our plug's already loose no I just undo it by hand there it is oh it's a champion well it's
not a champion just fell on the floor there was a there's a champion of champion plugs if I'm going
to attempt to put my Milwaukee M12 drill loads of drill rather than impact impact obviously it's
real smooth I'm gonna be eating of the Chainsaw doesn't smell any better just now I'm going to
put that onto the clutch side yeah and spin it up to see if I can get a sparked come out the other
end I don't know if you can be able to see it on thing but I'll soon tell you if it's sparking or
not so yeah this is where I'll probably just go shocking and get myself shocked or something right
foreign
by the way if you ever do this make sure you turn your switch
on your ignition it really helps helps a lot okay
apparently it doesn't make a difference ah you know the one thing I'd relying on was spark and
we need spark because how are we meant to make fire inside all right we're gonna try
a different plug you never know right so I found a plug it's the closest thing I can find obvious
that was a champion and this is an NGK you know proper spark plugs no offense Champion just like
NGK and this is a BM m6f as opposed to a DJ AJ so this is not the exact match but it's the closest
thing I can find that I've already got so but we'll be able to see if we've got spark I don't
know how to fit in there it'll fit in a hole but pop that in there and try my little test again
we've got spark it was just the plug how many times does that happen normally it's never just
the plug is it that's always what people just presume it is I'm gonna eat my words on pretty
much every customer I've ever spoken to who said yeah just needs a plug I'll see if it fits in the
hole now [Applause] does anyone else work like this like literally hugging us all that's tight
enough two snorts two thousand back compression because I was a bit worried about that as well
when I was pulling over earlier it was like yeah it's got compression but it's not great but that's
because the spark plug was loose so there's no Aussie all those beautiful compressions we're
um leaking out through the threads well I hope that's what it was let's like put
the covers back on make sure the bar and 10 goes around and then we'll see if it starts
thank you it was a funny favor will ya and click subscribe I know we love tools machinery and all
that sort of stuff that's what our Channel's all about so make sure you subscribe so you
don't miss on our on any awesome content like me not knowing how to fix a chainsaws
chain is solid it's not gonna go again so I'm gonna need to make a new chain I'm gonna I'm
gonna see if it'll start I'll just bang my head on the floor anyway honestly if it starts first
before we start making new chains because otherwise that's just going to be a waste of
money and then if it does start we'll put a new chain on it we might even cut some wood right I
put fresh fuel in there see it's gonna start like a dream well that's what I hope I don't know I
quite like this little sauce and fingers crossed she starts right earmuffs because I'm indoors you
know we all love running chainsaws and doors eh choke pulls we pull that choke out nice mechanism
come on manufacturers let's have that back again and we're gonna pull it into the starts go for it
no it doesn't like that she's on check out this time
anyone thinking well I'm thinking that I should have probably changed the fuel filter ah balls
all right fuel power then maybe have to take a carb off as well and clean
the carb out because it hadn't been used for that long the chances of it
starting like that was slim slim to none right more work
it's not as clean as I thought underneath I've actually found
some dirt so it has actually been used oh yeah baby clean you out there
I know where do I what a weirdo give it a little blow because I haven't got a compressor down here
close it right carpool Trader carburetor carburetor when you're working on them
carburettors nice bit of clean cardboard it goes a long way let's give it a clean fast shall we
couldn't have run out of carburettor cleaner I can't be bothered to walk like 200 meters to get
some so brake cleaner it is same stuff different can it's fine put in the comments below you did
agree with me there we go this is a brush which says no paint all right uh I thought I'd start for
this stuff what a joke I'll just that just like hit me in the face all right clean clean clean
yeah big wipes I do like a big wipe I'll be honest I like a big wipe one in the morning
one in the afternoon if you don't want dirty hand to go into a carpetrator carpetrator carburetoric
smooth carburetor clean off my wand as well you know screwdriver undo this end it's probably just
a filter screen a good guess fill a screen anyone agree you can hear engines in the background
there's actually people actually repairing machines who actually know what they're doing in
my in our workshops yeah I have no idea what I'm doing I just every now and again see other people
do it and think yeah I can do that so in here you've got a little filter screen right I don't
know if you can see that you can see that like in this little hole here the little filter screen
okay that's the most common part of a carburetor being blocked up in there if
not then um might be something else clean the little thing in there and I'm trying to hook
this little screen out we've got honest that screen does look quite shockingly you can see
yeah there she goes I like doing that popping out don't worry got some spares I'll grab one
when I have my lunch in a minute it's nearly that time of day yeah it looks really funny it's like
it's like a mushroom that screen is so funny might as well take off the bottom here I don't uh more
broke up looks like a wall breaker you have to warbur card lucky so we'd have the gasket kit
available for that which is always a good use whereas it's a Tillerson because he saws were
also fitted with pillars and carburetors yeah sometimes they're not quite so readily available
now I need like a Stanley knife got one right here so why was I going so far away well it sounds like
they're having more luck with their chainsaws up I'm not the workshops than I am here there's
two engines running up there they are trying to tune them I don't understand how you can tune an
engine when someone else is running another engine next to you I don't get it okay oh I made it much
mess of that and I gotta find a new carb kit now I haven't made a mess of it it's just one of those
things it's been on there for so many years yeah I could have been on there like 40 well now how
many how many years ago was 7 1973. oh they're so clean in there though but that diaphragm is just
it's you know see it's almost like it's not really doing what it's supposed to just looks all wrinkly
I don't know what's that that's what happens when you get old you get wrinkly like
so wrinkles wait for repairing machines I'm quite Young
right there's a scraper scrape off all this old gasket and take that out there's an extra
little plate in there which looks fun I've seen alone for a few years I don't get that on Modern
carburetors no you don't but then they don't make car brushes like they used to do they no wait for
all the 104 year old technicians to tell me that I got high and low half oh it was like
four fifths that was it was there when that was a half yeah four fifths I'm gonna go four
fifths that was wound out four fifths that's what looked like the cardboard look dab it in
there can't go anywhere that's a half that's a hole six-fifths six-fifths there we are James
right I'm gonna put that in the ultrasonic cleaner and then we'll
come back and reassemble that oh yeah we will right I got glasses on and I have
beautiful with a carb kit yeah that's quite handy and a new fuel filler because yeah we're going to
need that I think that's right one we'll find out in a minute and a new screen oh yeah screen you
know filter screen guys a little filter screen yeah you can't see it I'm going to rebuild the
carb and um and scratch my head of how to put it all back together oh by the way I was right it is
a d10w80 there we go can you see that d10 wat 11.99 if you've got to buy it from a rectable
garden machinery called Hayes Machinery reputable Garden machinery dealer called Haze Machinery
there's so much in this carb kit so if you want to take a pump at what carb kit goes in the water
carburetor just shout out d10 wat because like 95 of the time you're probably going to be right oh
which bits do I need got to be that one in it all right a new gasket on that one as I don't know the
square is one possible there we go I've got that there like that yeah well that was oh well yeah
I think that'll do all right I'm happy with that Bingo Ringo is that one no it's not that one no
so uh maybe maybe that one it will go that one and then I'm gonna need that diaphragm foreign
foreign
all right guys Second Time Lucky let's see if she will start this time fingers crossed
I've got I feel a little bit more confident now obviously I've been right through it but will
it start who knows let's find out right on choke out and let's just pull it to the heart's content
foreign
see what comes of it [Music]
right I got some good news and I got some bad news I know I don't like to be fair of bad news but the
bad news is that this chainsaw won't start so this video we've titled it will it start and the answer
is no because the coil is just not good enough yes I got a little bit of a spark earlier on but I
cannot get that coil to do anything good enough to be able to create it and my mind is blown because
I even took it up to my workshop to the you know the real two-stroke technicians to have a look at
and they are of exactly the same opinion so sad times the good news is that I need your help do
you have a damn 136 in your shed under your bench do you know someone with one can you help me find
a coil for this saw because more all good news is I love it I love how it's built I love how it's
put together I love how simple it is and it's English yes it is well most of it is English
and we need to make it work so please help me please help me find a coil for this chainsaw
because if I can't I'm going to be very sad I'm just going to sit on the Shelf all of its life
until perhaps one day one might come along so please pop in the comments do some posts put on
social media does anyone have one of these coils for this saw because I'm desperate for one willing
to pay for it I'm not looking for a freebie so let me know because yes we need one right thank
you very much for watching we'll see you in the next one I hope you've enjoyed it cheerio
