Maybe I should get some popcorn for the show! lol.
Well, thanks mark for a cheap fix to a mini mac1. Got the new clutch on it this evening and it was perfect. That little saw starts easy, Idled fine and no chain movement at idle. Ill sleep better now.
I learned a few things about Mini Mac clutches and drums in the process of getting those parts together for Vinny. It was a good effort that took longer than it should have (don't they all) but led me to discover some important details on the clutches and drums used on the small saws. I've done some futher organizing and labeling to make sure I can provide people with the correct parts in the future as well.
My son Jeff has been coming on Saturdays and some Mondays (his work in the environmental testing lab is slow during the winter months) to help get the parts sorted and put away. It is very helpful to have another set of eyes and a fresh perspective involved when the parts get confusing. We spent nearly two hours on Monday looking through piston rings for the Mini Macs that led to researching pistons and cylinders trying to get some parts with no numbers correctly identified. There were many different piston and cylinder combinations used on those small saws and you really do need a score card to know what goes with what.
Today I brought over a box of parts for the gear drive saws that had been left in the attic of my garage. I'll be a few more hours just trying to correctly identify the clutches and drums so I can put part numbers on them and get them put away properly.
And on and on and on...

I wasn't as lucky as I'd have liked with not pulling the Super 10-10 apart.I pulled the FW & punched the roll pin out far enough to slide the oiler rod out,but try as I may,I couldn't get the cap to go on.Just not enough room to work.I ended up pulling the saw apart just to get that dang little cap on.Good thing I did too because when I removed the carb I found that there was no gasket in between the carb & the spacer.I have no idea as to how the saw even started let alone run.I put a new cap on that I had here,one of my last ordered items from Bob J.I got the saw back together & the rod isn't jumping out of place anymore.It fired up on the 3rd pull.I'll put oil in it tomorrow & see if the auto oiler is working.
Mark,
I have not forgotten about those seals. I know there are a few other things I need and want to put a list together.
Thanks for all you do for us mcnuts,
Bob

So I wanted to check the fit of the Echo mount Tsumura light weight bar.
Fit well on the bar studs. The adjuster pin has to be facing down and the outer bar plate " opened" up for the pin.
I am alittle disappointed that I still had to take a dremel cut off wheel and go down through the bar rail into the adjustment hole for it to properly oil , this doesn't need to be done to the Oregon counterpart.
It is significantly lighter than a regular bar ,but has the weird DL or 96 ? So I have to make the chain.
Did the same to mine ,
This is going on the SP80Mark Built for me.

Looks good, bit of a bugger they make them like that and the modifications are required (albeit not too bad).
The 41 mount (Carlton D176 equivalent) Carton bars I have used are a direct fit except that the bar stud slots are slightly too narrow (takes 2min to file)

Looks like 10 Series 82cc mounts... SP81, PM850, PM800,PM805, DE80 (intake boot doesn't fit that one), PM8200. Will fit most of the 10 series A/V saws also.
Its a front mount and intake boot for a 82cc mac as mentioned. Also a super pro 60 or super pro 70, cp55, cp70.
You need a Mac.
Exactly ! When I started to collect various saws I bought a 1-70 and sold it because I found it a bit slow in comparison of a 395 , 660 or other but now I regret it because I didn't know it was the same chasis as
105 or 125 . In Europe i can't find any other mac than 10-10 since I found this 1-70 I haven't still .
