That sir, that’s a good one
Would any of you fellas have an idea on the brand of this winch? Seller says he can't find a tag.
Looks like I welded it.

The wife/boss says garage time is from 7-8
So I didn’t get too much time to play with the 272
But still wonder, just what this guy was thinking!!

Exactly, this guy was a nutArrow points to the carb?!?
Thank God the intake was on wrong and it wouldn’t run.
Lesson learned to me, ALWAYS pull the muffler not just do a compression test….
Yeah, that would've quickly turned bad had it started!

I bought a McCulloch 610 in a package deal with 2 other saws for $25 the other day. I cleaned it up, installed new recoil mounting screws because they were missing, and determined that I need to rebuild or replace the Zama carb. If anyone has a functional carb for this saw they’d sell let me know. I’ll probably get a proper pull handle for it. I was going to sell it, but it’s growing on me, especially since I’ve been wanting a bigger chainsaw because all my chainsaws are kinda small, this thing is 60cc. The bar is pretty small and I’ll probably upgrade it to a new 20” bar if I get it running. It ran great with a drink down the carb. The chain brake is missing so I’ll need a used one. I don’t think that the recoil is original because all the other ones I see online are black with yellow clutch cover/recoil or yellow with black recoil/clutch cover.

I’m gonna warn you right now
Throw it away, do not fix it and get it running
If you do, this thing will happen inside your brain, you won’t even be aware it happened.
Then one day, you’ll wake up and look in your garage/shed/workshop and they’ll be 20 something saws. Some running, some waiting for repair and some just piles of parts that you pull parts off (like junkyard cars)
So, unless you’re ready for that, do not fix it. Walk away now while you can…..

I don’t quite understand. I know that some people hate this model saw and others like them. I ALREADY have almost 20 saws.
You've been bitten by the bug called CAD! Careful...next thing you know you'll be perusing Craigslist on vacation, watching Bucking Billy Ray on YouTube so you know how to get the gullet and generally thinking about chainsaws when you should be working!
Good luck!
By the way, welcome to the scrounger's club!

I know I have CAD. I have many other engines too like mowers and trimmers. Can you remind me what CAD stands for? I check Craigslist daily and do watch Buckin Billy Ray.You've been bitten by the bug called CAD!

Nice, what’s your favorite flavor?
My I favor Husqvarna
My dad and Uncle, they like the German Stihls
I do own a Stihl or two and a Poulan or two, maybe a Homelite or two, a Dolmar-Makita, and a Efco
But 90% is Husqvarna
Not mine, but found in on CL. Cast Aluminum. Kind of unique piece.
