Thought I would share my 101A McCULLOCH cart saw , this saw was bought from a man that had a few racing saws , he would never sell any of them to me , but one day I stopped in another small engine shop near where his shop used to be and asked about him , the owner told me he had passed away so I contacted his wife and she was willing to let me come over and check it out (I have been after him for this saw for years) got it from her for $200.00 , wow I was excited to maybe bring the saw to life !
well did some painting and worked on getting spark and installed new handle bars , redid the mount for the pipe and rebuilt the carb , the saw had been set up for methanol
so when I got down to trying to start it , it ran lean one to many times and I blew it up , boy was I pissed , think the wrist pin bearing went so I am at 0 again , hope to find another cyl or bore it and put it back together ! Would be nice to show her again it running !!!
