McCulloch Chain Saws

[Maintenance supervisor]

Well today a parcel showed up. Bitter sweet really. I had found a pm700 wrecking on trade me had no spark he said was like new compression and yeah it's like new compression indeed when I rang him he said do ya want the oil pump and decompression valve yup I said well it's not a 700 but it is a 10-10S and a very very nice piston n cylinder still has cross hatching in the bore so kinda happy ish sorta lol. I always hoped to get an S but yeah can't complain it was only 65 bucks. Not blaming him eather it had 700 on the filter cover and a decompression valve so I spose an easy mistake for a non mac person. Now to combine a few bits for a frankensaw hehe.View attachment 769803

You won't be disappointed in that 57cc saw ,the 10-10s is a stout saw , mine is equipped with a 18" bar and an 8 pin sprocket, it's like a light saber! Lots of ump!

Yeah I'm not real grumpy a about it. All of you say they go really well. Talked to the saw wrecker guy on the fone he says he thinks he has a few more 70cc Mac's hiding out the shed and will let me know.

Don't think I will send this back though it's done very little work.

NorthEast Tennessee MAC Report

We returned to last Saturday's red oak. Recent rains have allowed the stump to sit back in its hole.
I took my PM700 after a nine year vacation. It ran good once Brian got the low sorted out by simply closing the choke at WOT a few times. The first time I have ever used a brush bow and the first time using any bow since my accident almost 40 years ago. I was a little timid at first but warmed up to it after figuring out that the chain brake was up to repeated use. Though not a fast saw, I doubt a modern 70cc saw would have anymore grunt than the 700 when the kerf starts to close as you push the bow through. May see some more action. I worn two pairs of gloves - pretty clumsy but the vibes didn't get me.



My 800 taking a break. Brian with his 125.


Brian letting his SP125C eat.




Even the mighty 800 won't cut well in this condition.

Boy, you are quick. You quoted my post before I could even correct a misspelled word.

They sound fine. For me that sound is to chainsaws as Harley is to motorcycles and a radial is to airplanes.

Nice to see you guys getting some video happening.

That 700 still sounds a little lean on the low to me

I wish I had an ear for tuning. Before Brian did his choke trick the saw would die as soon as you let off the trigger. Ron

Can ya hear it sort of thin sounding and when ya lift off the trigger it takes a while to slow down to an idle. Give her a bit of a turn out and see if it gets a little more thick fat throaty kind of sound to it.

If it gets a bit slow on acceleration then its getting a little to far

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Another way you can tell if a little rich is when left sitting idling it will slowly load up and start to get slower and slower and then will be a bit slow to pick up and clear up once you pick it up.

I like to get them on the rich side and sneak it leaner untle it's nice and snappy and idles away nicely and a minute of idling later still does the same. No pooling up of fuel no clouds if smoke but still has that nice fat full sound to it
