I noticed, that Mac 35 must be extremely rare with that all-brown paint scheme.

With help from Parker Jameson, I have been working on a few of the primers used on the larger MAC/Walbro carburetors. I don't have any long term experience at this point, but it does seem we may have a way to fix leaks and make them pump again. I have added the details in the McCulloch Carburetor thread, you can find a link in my signature below.

I received a big box of 600 Series parts from Knightmax a couple of weeks ago, finally got around to opening the box and getting the cleaned up. My grandson gave me a hand.

How time flies. When he's done there, could you send him over to my place? LOL
What do you run in your parts wash? Currently I'm using the Jegs cleaner which has been working really well, but it's getting pretty funky. I think the only issue I've had with it is that it washed the model/serial print clean off the label for a Super XL 
Fortunately I had a picture of it prior.
Randomly saw this, and thought that might be a good sub for the air box sealer on 10 series. Was wondering if anyone else had a substitute they were using for that?

I have been using Green Envy low odor mineral spirits, I can get it for around $10/gallon at Menards. When it becomes too contaminated with oil to work effectively I take it to the local auto mechanic and he puts it in with his waste oil that he burns to heat his shop.
Seems like just yesterday...

You may be thinking of the Klean Strip at Menards for $9.99 a gallon, Mark. The Green Envy is $7.99 a quart!
The Crown PSC 3000 at Tractor Supply is still hovering around $45 for 5 gallon containers. Low odor. High flash point. Does the job. Retains its effectiveness over the years as a prelimary soak or scrub treatment even after becoming pretty nasty. Not sure whether to be ashamed or proud of it, but I'm still getting use from what's left of my first 20 gallons purchased over five years ago. Still useful in a pre-soak and scrub tank for certain parts before final cleaning in a fresher solution. Definitely got my money's worth and then some!

This is what I have been using, I don't think I've had to pay over $10.99/gallon and some times it's been as low as $7.99.

If gas wasn't so expensive I'd shop at your Menard's!
I am gaining some additional experience on primer repair. I will be updating the McCulloch Carburetors thread when I can spare some time.

Excellent. I find them to be good carbs but prefer the choke version, mostly because the primers get weak or leak. I was considering converting my primer models to have a choke, but haven't looked into what parts to use.
It might be tricky as 99 percent are broken n gone. You might have to just have a go with some cardboard n sus it out
Unless it's for a shelf model I'd fore go the reed . I believe that it really hinders exhaust flow and adds heat to the engine.
Yes, I dumped my reed after using my 700 for a week. Amazed the difference it made, but it’s louder, a lot louder. I bought this saw new in 1988 and still use it today.Agreed
Wow that's cool
I don't see the noise an issue. It's a chainsaw they are loud. Ya wear ear protection anyway.
Funny story we were at workmates 1 night a few beers were on and needed a pellet cut up for a bit of quick wood for the garage fire. My mate has a 700 I convinced him he needed and he made me run it as I was the Mac guy and the most sober.
Anyway the youngest guy there 18 apprentice towney kid was always asking when can I use a chainsaw c'mon c'mon let me use the saw and of course there's no way in hell I'm letting a half drunk kid use the saw it's dark and bla bla just no. Anyway he's all like yup yup. Until.... I start the 700 lol lol I've never seen him run so damn fast he shot off down the drive like a cat with its tail on fire holding his ears Hahahaha. Poor kid thought he was the man until the that big scary old mac went pop pop.
He's still scared of chainsaws )
