    Many of you that have been around for a while will recognize AWOL (Alan Wolthuis) pictured on the left below. His wife sent a message this morning informing me of Alan's passing yesterday in his sleep. Alan had been struggling with a number of health issues 7 or 8 years, he is now released...

    Peculiar Carburetor Issue(s)

    I work on a lot of different saws, most are just inexpensive homeowner type saws but none the less, I do have some practical experience. I am quite familiar with setting the metering lever to the proper height, and how to "tweak" it a little if need be depending on the conditions; for example...

    Mystery part found

    I have been working on several saws the past week or so, Homelite XL / Super 2's, Homelite 360's, Jonsered 630, Plastic Craftsman 40cc, McCulloch 3200...I found this in the parts washer today and I have no idea where it might have come from. Does this look at all familiar to anyone? Paper is...

    (Indoor) Wood Furnace suggestions

    I haven't visited this thread much, I spend most of my time in the chainsaw area. I need to replace my old add on type wood furnace and must have a unit that will fit my small space. The front of the unit sticks through a basement wall (tile/block wall with an angle iron frame) that is 22-1/2"...

    Things I learned this week

    I have been messing around with small engines for 55+ years and have been pretty serious about working on chainsaws 14 or 15 years. So, when a saw comes in with a problem I usually start looking at the more complicated solutions. If there is a fuel delivery problem I normally attack the...

    Chainsaw carver available 1 December?

    Our small town (Dike, Iowa) has a Christmas tree lighting "celebration" and most businesses in town try to do something special that evening to entertain the town folk. I have been approached about finding someone to perform ice or wood carving with a chainsaw. I have a good spot in the back...

    Piston ring challenge

    I am trying to find thin (0.024" or 0.615 mm) piston rings to fit a 2.06" or 52.3 mm bore. The bore is chrome plated and I have heard the rings described as being "tool steel" but I don't know anything more than that. Does anyone out there know of a similar size piston ring that I could...

    Help needed in the Bend/Eugene Oregon area

    I have a friend who drove out to Oregon to pick up a used car and the deal fell through. He needs help from someone with a computer that can search for some other options. This fellow was one2machine on eBay who was making the "no leak" fuel line kits just for your information. If anyone can...

    McCulloch PM850 rebuild

    This saw was rescued from the warehouse in Los Angeles about the time McCulloch was moving to Arizona. As you can see it has not had a lot of run time, and was evidently built from whatever parts were available as the flywheel cover was not intended for use on the PM850 (missing a couple of...

    Danarm 55

    My apologies to Captain Dangers for the long delay in getting to this saw. I received this one perhaps in January or February but kept getting occupied with other projects. I was intrigued by the photos of the LH and RH versions the captain put up and he was willing to help get one to me...

    Want to Sell McCulloch 10-10S Special Edition 11-019008

    Since I have two saws up for sale I have distinguished them by Serial Number (or no Serial Number in the case of the other saw). I last used this saw a few years ago for some storm clean up and really liked the way it would idle when you put it down to move brush/logs out of the way. It was...

    Want to Sell McCulloch 10-10S Special Edition no SN tag

    I make that note in the title since I have another 10-10S Special Edition available. I have used this saw in the past but didn't like the makeshift manual oiler button so I decided to replace the button. To replace the button requires removing the tank...since I was that far into it I decided...

    Sold McCulloch Special Edition 10-10S

    I am in the process of getting some duplicate saws cleaned up, built up and sold to make room for others. Current project is a "Special Edition" Pro Mac 10-10S. This saw had low compression (125 PSI) so I thought I might get by just replacing the rings but no joy. There was some chipping of the...
