Ouch
I know!!
In all fairness, none of them are runners either.

They are still fine saws nonetheless
Yet..
Can't wait to hear it run.
That makes 2 of us. The PD is close, really only waiting on coils to get her going. Also, have to replace some clutch linings but that won't stop it from running. The PG I will probably restore and repaint. I had to send off a cylinder for repair--had a broken exhaust flange which is fixed and on the way back. Again, this saw needs all the ignition parts replaced.
One thing I learned is they use different coils. The PG has a 7/16 x 7/16 core and I can use aftermarket OMC coils like the Pioneers. The PD was trickier but I was able to find aftermarket Wicos that fit--5/8 x 5/8 lamination.

That was a cheap shot on my part.
I have a McCulloch 5-49 
Is that the 99 your brother and I ran at Hoskys? That was a pretty good runner.
That's a 5-49 that came from the DeGrew auction, cleaned it up and put it in the display last year.
This is the 99, we did a little carburetor work last August before Baraboo, hopefully it will run again this year.

Ok gotcha. I don't know that much about these yet. I will be tinkering with this 7-55 and if it works out I will bring it to Baraboo too.
Between cinci5 (Jeff) and me there are diaphragms available for the older McCulloch two man saws. You just need to determine if yours has the bleed valve on the cover as the gasket/diaphragm are different for the covers with or without the bleed valve. IPL's don't offer a lot of help with those.
No bleed valve on the left, bleed valve on the right for reference.
We can also provide a rebuild kit for the primer and the oil pump if needed.

I have the diaphragm already, waiting on the Loctite to arrive. I very well may need packings for the oil pump it felt weak. I know how to get a hold of you..
Nice twins Chris!
I did get the Super Twin running but have to get the bar/chain on it and do some tuning. No video yet, just assembled pictures. I need a new kill switch. This one kept the points grounded constantly.
Seeing if this will post. Took the 51 Super Twin to Baraboo this weekend. Did OK.
