I have 79 dl but could get away with 78dl.About how long is that Remington bar? I've got one that looks like that and I want to say it's a 22" (?) but I have no idea how many drive links. I was going to wrap a 24" chain around and use that to gauge, but if you already know that's significantly easier.
Square file and skip chain on that should be a lot of fun! Are you using a "goofy" file? I only ask because I want to head down the square file road one day.
this is the mount
Is that one of those lite bars? Ron

Haha yeah!Is that one of those lite bars?
Hey do you still want 82cc cylinders for 800 series McCulloch?
Not at the moment, thanks. If I could find a better big piston, I would. With my over the top compression, I am torn between shaving the piston top or the cylinder when what I really need is a different piston. I am too cheap to buy a bunch of pistons to measure for better dimensions. Ron
How come no welded pop up?
I have a 10-10 that I'm going to build and asked a local welder if he could do a little ring or dome on a piston for me . He told me if he heats it right it'll take. Just wondering if you guys already experimented with this?
You‘d better post up what you do, I’m gonna need to have a ported, big dawged, full-wrapped, 50cc saw with a 24 inch bar in order to keep ”West Coast” in the title of my McCulloch-user badge.
I am boring out old 82cc cylinders to fit a larger diameter piston. Getting the right center of the pin to the top of the piston has been a challenge. Most candidates seem to be too tall. The one I used was milled down leaving a popup, but I still have too much compression and the piston is real thin at the ring pin. with a good cylinder, I could just soldier a quarter on for more compression.

Ok that makes sense, "there is no replacement for displacement " .
I thought the squish was the objective.
Fyi I don't think the quarter would stay put very long.
I will, but I won't be doing any porting. The last couple saws I put together with just a b.g.delete are pretty stout.
I'd rather just change 1 thing and see if it makes a noticeable difference.
I could start a YouTube channel based on my magic powers with chainsaws though ,and sell them at 3xs the cost of new ones?
Nice, thank you! Yeah that's the same "swiss cheese" mount I have. I wanted to do the same with mine, mount it on a 7-10 with spacers. That thing must be pretty sick with square skip AND an 8 pin. Throwin' chips about 30ft are ya?

The guy who was selling the McCulloch lawnmower canceled the listing... Very sad.
Meanwhile, here's an oddball that has appeared closer to home. A G-70 with some sort of extra oiling contraption and 32" bar.
Originally $200 but now down to $100. Is this something worth considering?

I'd be jumping on a g70 for $100 pretty fast.
Oh my goodness. Now that was someone that needed wood badly.
I've seen sellers on eBay cancel the listing on items quite often after the bidding is over because it didn't sell for what they wanted it to.All they had to do was have the bidding start at xxx amt.of $.
Well it was just my 2 cents.
That might cause two much compression. Ron
