The Mc/Partner 543 is just an ugly 540

......

I agree with that - the 543 is a really fugly creation! :msp_mad:

Oh yes, didn't see that :msp_smile:


At least the best ones ! The Mc/Partner 543 is just an ugly 540 and the 500 formula a better 500...



Got that If there is certain model you desire, then tell me. 543 are very rare, but i know a guy running one...500 formalas show up from time to time, but i think you'd like better ones than this ?

Interesting the chain brake on that Formula 500 being the new style. Yeah I think I would like to have a Formula 500 but if had to buy it and ship it all the way here, I think one in a little better condition would be in order.

I think if I ever run across a original clean black 500 I would have to try to pick one of them up also. My neighbor has one that he bought new and I service it for him now and again but he loves it and I wouldnt even try to pry it from him.

I also agree the 543 isnt the best looking but being that it seems to be the last model made from this original design, it does cause me to have interest in it.

I do know that the 53cc open port 540 is no slouch.

It really isn't ! The 5000 Plus is more aggressive, but the 540 has a wide power band and does not scream that bad :msp_biggrin:
And my 540 is the best starting saw of all of my saws...one pull choke, one pull without when cold, nearly always. I'll never sell it !
Trust me, i'd also like to have a 543 though it's that ugly. A year ago i nearly got a 2005 McCulloch 543 with carb issues for 50 Euro...nearly ! :msp_angry:
Afaik the 500 Formula always had the new style chainbrake (that i like much more for working since it's inertia activated !) but it still had the old carb and choke setup of the 500. 5500 and 540 had the newer (and in my eyes better) one.

I assume the top end of the 540 is very close to the same as the open port Husky 55 one, or is it exactly the same?

I know we discussed this before and we established that the 543 shared the exact same 46mm open port top end as some Huskys did and the 540 is the same right?.

I believe you are right, I'm pretty sure they are the same! :msp_smile:

Edit;
OK, I found all the relevant parts lists (wasn't too easy with the Partners, but now I have a good link). :msp_biggrin:

The top end part numbers are as follows;

Early 55 R: 503 60 91-02
P 540: same number.

Late 55 R: 503 60 91-72
P 543: same number
McC 543: same number.

yeah, Husqvarna 55 cylinders even have the Thread for the front handle buffer of the Partner 540, though the handle on the 55 isn't attached to the cylinder. In contrast Husqvarna did that with the spring on the newer saws like 353...
Though, my Partner 540 has a different number stamped on the cylinder than the newer 55 cylinder i have, maybe just because the Partner doesn't have the decomp thread.

Awesome collection Mark. As you saw I just finished my first Pioneer Partner 500.
