G'day from a new member..

well,,,,have been lurking in the shadows for a while,,so i thought it was time i better speak up..as you can see from my signature,,,its all about yellow machines,,,have been collecting them for a while,,,but only really back into it recently..grew up in the "aussie bush",,and have been around saws all my life(father is an old sleeper cutter)....
what i want to know is,,,the 740 and 895 i have has the old mcculloch carb on it with the primer pump,,and we all know they stuff up and you cant get spare parts,,what carb can i substitute it for,,,could even be swayed to putting a carb on it off a go cart and doing some other mods as well,,these 2 saws will never be used for general cutting,,and im keen to have a play with them(ala hotsaw )..
another thing i would like to know is,,,how do you know what size/design exhaust pipe to run/build for a hotsaw,,have seen a lot of different pipes on different saws,,,is it a trial and error thing or is there a formula etc you can use to work it out...tell me what you think...

Welcome aboard young fella it's good to see a little more Aussie blood here even if it runs yellow instead of Red, us old Mc Men die hard ya know.

As regards the 740 and 895 leave them as they are, as for the hot saw grab a Mc 91b/1 Kart engine and go from there they have plenty of grunt, i know as i run one of these as a hotsaw with a hot 101 as backup if needed.

Have a look at my web site and you will get to see the mob.

Give me a yell if i can be of more assistance.

Mc Bob.
