I tried to photograph the two humps of a 101B but they don't show up very well tucked under the flywheel. Ron

I would be lying if I said I wasnt a little jealous:msp_smile:. Looking forward to a video on that one!!

Thanks for the quick reply and I feel a little better knowing it was only a 80cc saw, but only a little better. Kind of glad I missed the ending cause I did not really have the money to spend.

No problem...If money was of no concern I would have bought it as well. My saw funds are already dedicated elsewhere for now LOL.
 
Ron, that Super Pro 101 looks like a hell of a lot of fun. :) I can't wait for the video of it roaring its way through a giant piece of hardwood. That is, of course, after the precious daughter gets married and runs off to some magical place with the hubby on the honeymoon.
 
Well I have two questions.
#1 How do you tell the difference between a PM 800 and 850?
#2 Is there another piston that will work in a PM 800 other than the stock piston?

#1
A PM850 Super as our downunder friend shared yesterday and a PM800 - apparently not much difference.

An older PM850 and a PM800 share the same internals but the 800 has a different exhaust port (a small oval peak at the top side); rear bottom bumpers and cowlings are different (850 bumpers hit bottom of stamped cowling, 800 bumpers hit flange on cast cowling which bolts to the head just above the plug); 850 has DSP valve near plug - 800, if it has a DSP, has valve above muffler; mufflers are different - 850 sweeps up the side - 800 is under saw with a spark arrester going up side; and clutch covers are different - 800 is ventilated on top and rear around muffler.

#2
Don't know but pistons of all three sizes are still available - "B" seems to be more common.

I'm doing good, full speed is just ahead.
I spent 4 hours drivin' the old Ranchero up to Grants Pass for an appointment. It's only 90 miles and it takes two hours over our quaint highways. We had a fine Spring day for it, The Smith was emerald, the Rouge looked like last weeks guacamole. Lots of run-off, should be a good water year, if the snowpack isn't washed away.
I'm working on the PM850, it's going home so to speak. After a clean-up and tune, I'm handing it over to the previous owner's son, to give to his Mother on June 8th. I'm excited, it had better run well dammit.

Make sure the carby gets its rebuild... I didn't do it on mine and it won't run perfectly... :( So I gotta rebuild it.

Otherwise, I'm sure it will happily run for you. At least I hope it does. If not, you can smack dat ass in my avatar...

Since your saw has such low compression, I'll take it off your hands for you.... lol.


Hey wait a minute....... I'm Mike Garrett. That's my saw.... lol!!

A little body work and it will be Mike Garrett's no longer....

I would leave that name on there... I bet the man is happy that the saw is being taken care of. (well, at least the tank that is his...) On my 850, the recoil cover has VH scratched into it, and I like to try to imagine what that person and the recoil cover saw and went through while cutting trees down years ago.

Good to here!!! I am sure it will run just fine. Weather already sucks here, in retrospect I guess if you like sun and beaches it perfect, but sunburn and heat stroke are not turn ons for me. I finely started working on the yellow top Super 250, just need to get a carb kit for it before I can finish it. Nice to be working on Macs again, was getting fed up with the Stihls LOL.
 
Mac 1-10/2-10

I have one of each. The 2-10 is most likely a parts saw but the 1-10 is in great shape, and will pop on a prime. My question is about these carbs. Are kits still available? Also is it possible to retrofit a walboro SDC on to one?

Glad you're well Randy and good on you with the 850. I trust it shall be well recieved and you're proud to do it.

Brian, you can keep that heat. We may need kayaks to get to the woodpile here, but I'll take that over the heat. Everyone up here has been wringing their hands over lake levels, now they complain about being soggy. Better tie kerosene rags 'round them ankles before ants eat that candy ass, I say.

Ron, I reckon the future son-in-law is alright, else you'd be racin' to get that saw going to dispatch with the evidence, LOL. (My daughters had better choose wisely!)

Wrenched in the PM10-10se. Never could get it to cut with authority... well, dumb me, I figured no load runs good, carb kit in, responds to tuning, so must be bad seals, right? Guess what I never did...

Yup, pull the muffler, rocket scientist. Geez, spark screen thick with crud and exhaust ports constricted to roughly 30% of their flow potential with carbon. Cleaned that crud out and put the muffler back with the basket, but not the 9-hole baffle or spark screen. Rafted to the pile and it pulls nice, now. I got a 16" roller nose coming for it and it needs a timesert on the rear handle strap mount at the jug, it's stripped and the fuel tank leaks a little. Easy fixes. When they're done, I do believe this shall become the "trunk saw."

What the hell is that? McCulloch never made that...

Fixed it...

"They" didn't. Me? Don't have the fab skills. It could be done, but everything would have to be upsized 150%. Wouldn't look "right" to the familiar, but what a sleeper...

Time + $$$ + CNC = what I'd do if I won the lottery.

Another 101B/125

I have quietly watched this saw for 5 days now. I hope one of you got it. I didn't bid as 1 should be enough for me. Only 3 bidders and action really didn't start until the last minute.
