Does anyone need a ten series tank/handle for a flat back carb? I have one that I'm going to throw in the recycling bin if there's no interest.

I heard there was a kit to convert them to an SDC. You may want to check that with Mark. If it's so, you'll have a spare which you'll need as soon as the garbage truck pulls away.

Does anyone else have bad luck with PTO side starters or just me?

A rope that nasty is gonna break on either side!

Supposed to be around 50" of starter rope. I use 3mm diameter. Slides through the pulley hub channel nicely but isn't sloppy.

You sure the assembly isn't hanging up and creating undue strain on the rope?

Nope it's a little short but winds up good. Pissed off operator was responsible for breaking it LOL. The outer section looks ratty but it is only frayed a little bit.

It could use a new rope. I should pick up another starter/clutch cover since both of my current saws are set up that way.

And hey..., congrats on 15000 posts. (That sure is a lot o' spare time!)

Thank you, I didn't even notice that! It's been nearly 8 years LOL.

Heck Poge,
He lives in northern MN. It's only warm enough for a month to go outside and then the black flies and skeeters bleed you out in ten minutes.

Well guys, I'm finally in the 7 cube club, I bought this on a gamble on ebay. The seller knew nothing about it and sold it as a parts saw, it was ugly and I took the gamble and bought it, well it appears my gamble paid off, it's got wicked compression, clean p and c and fires on prime fuel, original fuel lines are in good shape and the only thing I see wrong is part of the rear fan shroud is busted off above the muffler, missing one muffler cover bolt. I'm very happy with how it worked out. 20170603_162726.jpg 20170603_162745.jpg

Got one for y'all, is it possible to tell the gauge off of this picture of the part number? It's a 18 or 20 hard nose off of a 250. .050 seems to fit somewhat nicely, but I am unsure if it's .058 or something else. Also, is there a chart for reading the serial numbers on the 60s Mac 250? Saw is new to me and I am trying to figure out some info on it.
