Rusty 2-Stroke Engine Chainsaw Restoration

In this video, we restore a classic 1965 2-stroke engine chainsaw that has been neglected for years. Manufactured by Homelite, a renowned name in power tools, this chainsaw was once a powerful tool but has fallen into disrepair, with a seized engine, rusted metal parts, and worn-out handles. We carefully disassemble the chainsaw, clean and restore each component, replace damaged parts, and sharpen the chain and bar. After reassembling, we fire it up to see if it can run like new again. Join us on this restoration journey as we bring this vintage Homelite tool back to life
