I do have the list but some of the seals may be questionable. It was sent to someone a while ago and they were told not to distribute it until some stuff was vetted but they did anyway. I would advise caution. I've been updating the list as I go along.and have another set to add today. I will send you a copy but would advise anyone who wants to use it to measure before they commit to a purchase. I can't remember who started the list but it was mailed to me by Eccentric quite some time ago to add to it. Several people have added to it over time.
Let me add the Makita (Dolmar) and Solo seals I matched in the last couple of weeks.

Please add the cautionary note before you give it to someone.

x2 please Tim.

Thanks a bunch Beetlejuice hopefully I dont have to go to that extreme but im an engineer and it makes me think of solutions. A chainsaw boneyard? im imagining a huge pile of saws haha what a cool place.
Hi pogo is the two from Germany. I have all the parts from the 800 starter the previous owner lost two of the screws and went start it with out knowing and it ripped it off. Im thinking the bits could be put in the rigid type housing and cut the bottom section off and rivit and plate the two together. It wont be pritty but will get my saw running.

My wife gets so mad with me, not at me, but with me! A pile of saws is a great understatement. I have found treasure, and my wife says WHAT???.I spend couple hours rummaging up and down the isles. The only problem is the owners kinda know what they got, so it's a dicker dealing thing. Usually talk em down to a reasonable price, but ya also pay for convenience cuz ya don't have to wait on shipping..didn't make it today, but will try to tomorrow. Have to slither/slide outta work. I'll put a pic out if I make it.. Cheers. K

A member is looking for a 1-70 McCulloch ipl and service manual. Publications guide says no service manual but ipl is 56777. Could anyone send me the ipl to pass on?

Tough one Ray

Jethro, I have no idea as to power but would expect it to be basically the same. I have the SP55, CP70L and SP80 so figured the 60 would fit right in.
At 62cc it should be a nice saw especially if the compression can be remedied.

Handy to have reference to MAC piston sets and cylinders

Alot nicer than the 610 though. Nice little collection going on there.

Here's what I go through..but have more fun

Update, that good looking SP60 is a pooched piston and cylinder. So now must figure out a fix. Someone has attepted a repair already. Piston has been knurled but to no benefit
So may need to find a p&c

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

That place looks real fun to rummage through allright. Does it still get umm "replenished" overtime?.

Shame about that cylinder Walter

Does.. I picked up a starter assembly for 1-50, a starter assembly for power Kraft 4.0, AND, AND, AND, for all you bow people out there. A bow bar with the price tag still on it. And it's for sale

Question for all you Mac gurus out there;
Last weekend I took my Super Pro 70 over to a neighbor's house to help him cut some firewood. The saw ran great the whole time, I ended up running about 4 tanks of fuel through it. Well today I cleaned it up, blew the sawdust off of it, started it up again, and found that it doesn't run quite right. Although it revs up great, and 4-strokes just fine at WOT, it idles sporadically and will shut off after about a minute at idle speeds. Even if I set the idle speed WAY fast, it will still slow down and eventually shut off. When I try to immediately restart it, with the throttle lock and all, it will not even pop, almost like it's not getting spark.

So I replaced the plug, checked the saw for spark (which it has), checked the tank vent, went through the carb, lifted the metering lever slightly above the floor of the carb, and started it up again. No matter how I tune it, it will shut off after idling for a minute or so, and will be really hard, if not nearly impossible, to restart. After this, I pulled the muffler to have a look at the piston. Everything looks really good in there, rings are not stuck, and there is no scoring on either the piston or cylinder.
I'll have to pressure/vac test it to know for sure, but I do not think it has an air leak, because it gradually slows down then shuts off; usually an air leak causes the saw to speed up then shut off.

What say you?
TIA!

Funny you should post that. I just had that happen yesterday on a Solo 680. Idled somewhat erratically for a few minutes and then shut off. Very hard to start without priming. It did 4 stroke at WOT
My air leak was between the carb adapter and the cylinder. A big leak as well.

Hope that helps.
