Doing just fine. Working too much and not playing enough but other than that everything is good. I PMd you about the Yellow Orphan.

Yup, we are playin' tag here.
Winter is on it's way, play time will be plenty.
Let's go kill an OG DF, just to watch it fall.

How 'bout an OG something else? Think passed over OG from the 1920s.
Oh, one of those. Some of them were passed over for a reason, it makes it more fun these days. I tried to start my day with something that provided a challenge.

Power MAC 6. Says so on the bar. Worth about $30 in running condition.

Who doesn't? I see in that last Russell ad that they also had stroker cranks for Power Products engines. There once was a stroker crank out there that'd take my Monkey Wards (AH58) out to 6.4ci. Cool...
Thanks for the link. Cool stuff...

Never seen one or heard of one what do they look like
Picked this up this morning, drove 330 miles round-trip for it. Even better in person than in the pictures. Dynamite compression and cranks right up. Can't find anything wrong with it from the chainbrake to the wrap handle. And I love that skid on the front of the muffler.

Thats a sweet saw Chris,
I like those old Partners.
I had a brand new P100
back around 1979 but it
got stolen.
Congrats on a nice find.

Well done Chris, that is a great looking example of a PM1000. It looks as though the previous owner has taken great care of it during its working life, and would have been happy to hand it over to yourself - knowing it will be continued to be cared for. The muffler guard / skid is a great idea.
How do these PM1000's run ? I haven't heard alot about them although you do see them pop up for sale over here a bit. At 100cc's I assume that they must pull pretty well with something around the 36" mark. Were they a popular model in the US?
Overall, a nice Mac/Partner for your collection. Hope those big Homelites of yours don't get to restless having it in the stable!

Chris.

I'm not so sure about this. The saw smokes a fair amount when goosing the throttle and the carb seems adjusted pretty close. Pulled the oiler and the o-rings look good. On a whim, I dumped the fuel and found that it was a nasty color brown, almost like drain oil or some garbage. I'll get some more 32:1 synthetic tomorrow and have another go.
Anybody here know about the oilers? Are they prone to leaking at the rubber boot or are they fairly bulletproof?
But, thanks for the comments. I'm liking the saw. My Homelites don't have to worry. When it comes to long bar capability, I think the 7-29 takes the prize and the 750 is the hot rod of the bunch.
Chris B.
The old adage of 'You cannot judge a book by its cover'! Hope you can flush all of that nasty old fuel out of its internals. I'm sure that with a good cleanup you will have it running smoothly again.
Yes that 7-29 of yours is definitely the king.
Regards,
Chris.
The fresh mix certainly straightened out that saw--no more smoking. Here's a picture of the garbage I dumped. Whatever oil was used, it was definitely too rich a mix.
I pulled the muffler for a quick inspection and found the piston still has its machining marks and I see cross hatching on the opposite cylinder wall.

Chris, I suspect that saw will eventually fail as a result of the improper fuel/oil mix ratio. To prevent you from having to suffer through that event (and the hours and hours and hours of running the saw until it happens), I suggest you PM me with your street address and I will gladly stop by and take it off your hands on my way through in a couple of weeks.
