Mcculloch 33 or 35 I took a lot of saw apart the one that was a pain just to fix the recoil I had to take the carb off I never seen a carb like that but to get at the points was easy because was not under flywheel.

Stihl 200t and Homelite Super 2. Clamshell Stihls (029/290/310/039/390) are a breeze. Time consuming yes, but at least the parts are accessible and not crammed together in an impossible fashion.

Hmm... seems that many here simply hate mini macs...

Time to port the hell out of two of them and get to work... run around the yard with one in each hand, arms flailing as you wildly prune some trees...

I used to avoid working on the tiny 200T like the plague, but when the worth of the saw nearly doubled due to the unpopularity of the 201T, I changed my mind. I found out 200T's aren't so bad at all, once you have the first one under yer belt, the rest are easy peasy.:)
