I made sure to grease the bushing. And yes, I'm working on changing the bar. Hopefully will pick up a new one today... a 36" Stihl to make the proportions a bit more in line.[emoji16]

Test fit with a 36", and how I modded the oiler port. Also made a plug for the carb adjustment. Turned out pretty well I think. EPDM and some contact adhesive was all I used for the plug. It all fits together very nicely, and will hopefully get tested in some wood tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
For those looking for a 82cc MAC project:

Find a good 6 cube, there are a few to choose from and can be had reasonably.
got 797 here. 7-10 & 10-10 see more use. no replacement for displacement when ya wanna put smile on yer face, tho.
I have an SP81E that looks rough but seems to have good compression is anyone is interested. I'm reasonable...

I wonder if the performance mods to the AF cover on the SP81E made any difference. Ron
There were several saws in the lot that had similar modifications. Whether real or imaginary, it seemed to be a common theme.
I got the saws from fgwsaw who I understand got them from rupedoggy, so it appears to be a kind of western states modification.

The electronic ignition coil for the 8200 is the same as the SP81E, PM850, PM800, or any of the 600 Series (610, 605, etc.) but you have to cut down the length of the spark plug wire to fit the 10 Series.
Can you tell I replaced the plug wire in that one?

The first one is a Super 44, 80 cc version of the early hot rod saws by McCulloch. The D-44 was 72 cc, Super 44 80 cc, and the Super 44A 87 cc. By the way, the Air Filter cover is on backwards.
The D44 had a stamped AF cover rather than the cast one like the Super and SA, the Super 44A normally had the "hockey mask" cover over the air intake on the flywheel cover.
The other saw is a peculiar adaptation of the venerable 33/35/39 series saws. To make a direct drive version they had to lay the power head down on its side and ended up with the bar on the left hand side to make it spin the right direction.
Here is a rough 35 A with a few broken/missing bits. There is a bevel gear box on the front of the saw and the bar is pitched up at an odd angle.
There were many different attachments available for these saws, spur reduction drives for auger bits, a direct drive drill with Jacobs chuck, ice auger/earth auger, brush cutter, and the bow bar.

That's impressive. Thank you for the info. I'll correct that air filter cover. I got a bunch of Macs in a group buy. Noticed some to have an odd design. Very neat though. Also in the lot was a pair of super 33s. Also very interesting.
