It is yes. But im looking for.ideas to not have to hold.the choke button in at all. Press it in, have a way to keep it in without using your thumb to hold it the whole time.

Jam something somewhere so it's stiff and stays in??

I realise now how that sounds lol

Any way to retrofit one of the push-and-twist style buttons like on a 250?

Got a half dozen Macs here. eager beaver 3.7's, 2.0's, mimi mac 25's etc. use them along with the others. Love the mini 25 when I go up in the bucket truck,---10" bar and small package,--easy to handle and I dont have that 2 foot long bar on the others getting into where it not s'posed to be! lol!

Without knowing what the bigger macs look like, would something like this work?

 

[Syncop8r]

Or....

Im looking at a possible wire like that to "clip" over it to hold it. Gonna be tricky but doable.

I did a little testing yesterday for one of our young friends overseas.

PM850, 28" bar and chain, WOT unloaded...



SP81, 16" bar and chain, WOT unloaded...



I reset them both to just under 12,000 RPM. The PM850 gets used from time to time.



The SP81 only cuts a few cookies each year.

You are a wise man, Mr. Heimann. I doubt that your PM850 would last long at 14,960. Brian's 12,900 (no chain) PM 800 melted. My 12,300 (no chain) PM800 still survives. It has a ceramic coated piston which might help.

I was thinking jeeeze that's a little high.

Bet that 81 with a 16 goes good. 7 or 8 pin sprocket Mark?

 

[heimannm]

9 or 10?

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

9 or 10?

Aww wow. Something I'd like to try

The excavation is done. Materials coming next week. Then we will start building what has been dubbed Machalla. And No I was not the dubber lol!

 

[Syncop8r]

What are yours off?

The ones I sent you are off a random 10 series flywheel. Probably a 10-10 but as far as I knew they should all work. From memory the 800 might be different and I know the starter shaft is.

What are yours off?

A later PM700.

Speaking of a 700.... My neighbor needed a saw to finish a log. ( He ran out of gas and was afraid to use mine! - only funny because he constantly comes to me for advice on saws)
I gave him my older 700.
When he came back he says " thanks a lot!!!"
I asked what happened, puzzled because it's one of my best saws.
He said it was fine just fine. The problem is I don't like my saw anymore!!
