Want to Buy Wanted mcculloch 797 or 125

[Hydro74]

Like the title states looking for a mac 797 or a 125 prefer running but don't mind a decent rebuild let me know if there's any out there looking for a new home!

There was a nice 797 on Ebay for $500 that no one bid on and it just ended a few minutes ago.

Yes.

Would y'all rather have a 797 or an SP125?

Which has more Parts availability?

I would rather have the 125. but if I recall neither of them have a removable head

As far as parts availability, several saws share many parts, so that'll help out a lot in terms of availability. eBay has quite a few parts floating around often.

I'm not sure what specific parts are hard to come by nowadays; I've never owned or run one so I wouldn't know, but plan to in the near future. This is all based off of searches and reading and most definately someone else knows a hell of a lot more than I do.

I'm after a 790, 890, or a 797/ Super 797 myself. Not really a fan of the CP or SP 125.

I'm a big fan of the sp125c for real world work but like the 797 for brute fun. The AV of the 125's make them more pleasant to run for extended periods and the fixed jet let's me get down to business with fewer tuning issues.

No neither has a removable head. Those were on the kart engines. I have one with a 101

$$$ .

Don,

There is no doubt they have gotten high priced. The problem is as you well know they sure are not making anymore.

No, but easy enough to make one for ones self, though it seems most guys want them already done up for them. They can be made for around a grand if a person takes their time, shops wisely, and will do the work themselves. Not a lot available to those that won't or can't. I guess they can pay for the privilege IF they get the chance and have the money. Trouble is, folks with 101 saws don't part with them much, if at all.

I will someday have a 125 with and without a 101 block. granted I can find the parts for sale. I will gladly take the time to build it except that I don't have enough green laying around. I'll have to save for a while

Well around here it is tough to find a 101 or parts. Those who have them hang on to them. I did get one locally with a Margay sidewinder and a Margay quick change gear box. The 101 is rebuildable. I have another 101 that is not. If came from a saw racer. It apparently threw a rod right through the front of the manifold. The guy JB welded it back together. There is no use in doing anything with that

I apologize. It was late last night when I was posting and forgot to reply. I'm not looking for a 795 just yet, but I'll definately keep you in mind. I appreciate it tho
