I saw it on Ebay/Craigslist

[Ambull]

Saw that a day or two ago. Looks like a Honda starter to me as well...........................and looks goofy as hell. I threw a token bid on that saw to keep track of if (without wasting a 'watch list' slot). It'll be interesting to see what it goes for. I'm sure there will be more bidding on it now that it's been "exposed" here........despite the hack homebrew starter cover...:jester:

I think I disagree.... That starter seriously detracts from the saw. Also, the cylinder cover has been cut. Can't even tell if the correct muffler is there. Nobody wants to buy a saw that we are all making fun of. How about the fact that the seller puts in a video of a DIFFERENT 797 running. LMAO!!!

I bet this saw doesn't make the reserve...... If anybody here buys it I will taunt them a second time....

Alaskan MKIII Milling Attachment,with double saws on one bar,both saws run fine | eBay

You get two McCulloch SP 80's (double ended running both saws) and a 24" mill for $350. Would be a deal until I add in the shipping, maybe someone closer could do a little better.

Here is a nice little gem for ya'll Poulan top handle fans.

You're correct Joe. There were C-71 and C-72 saws in addition to the C-7. Total C-series lineup was C-5/7/9, C-51/71/91, C-52/72 (plus the few "G" models that were sold with the planetary geardrive clutch cover). The C-51/71/91 saws mostly had the overrunning bearing starter, as did some early C-52/72 saws. The late production C-72's had the pawl type starter setup (the best type). C-72's were built long after all the C-series saws had been discontinued. IIRC they were built until 1982 or so. Saw an NOS late production C-72 (with box) go for over $500 on feebay a few years ago...

There were no C-92's, as the 'big dog' slot in that lineup was filled by the XP1000 and later the XP1020. An interesting side note (well interesting to me anyway)................the late C-91's (serial number 1854403 and later according to the IPL) had the single flat reed manifold as used on the C-5/51/52 and C-7/71/72 saws rather than the four petal pyramid reed setup previously used on the C-9/91 saws. My theory is that this was during the time of the release of the 100cc XP1000 (XP standing for "Extra Power"....), and Homelite wanted there to be more of a "performance gap" between their new big dog and the outgoing 85.5cc C-91 (to justify the price increase). They must've had too many C-91 cylinders and other parts left over for them to just drop the model entirely at that point. Better to use up those remaing parts by assembling them as saws with the flat reed manifolds than letting them collect dust. I've seen one of these late C-91's, and I know a member here who has one too.

The tag on my parts saw said C-71 and did have the pawl type starter which I put on my C5. It worked much better than the original C5 starter which was pretty well worn out.

the old WD40 was a good mild starting fluid, and I used it a lot on small 4 strokes. Not so dangerous to the engine and didn't wash off lube oil.
Unfortunately several years ago they changed the propellant from (guessing propane?) to something less flammable and it doesn't work well, if at all, anymore.

I'm guessing either some sort of evaporative issues with the wonderful EPA, or else some kids sniffing something, with liability and lawyers involved.

That dude with the Stanley chainsaw doesn't seem to know whether it's pneumatic or hydraulic

Actually, it sounds like he also has a Remington pneumatic (no pic), but his use of now-rampant craigslist-ian "English" makes it hard to decipher

It was the same seller Johnnie. He put the 4000/PP395 P/C up after you'd posted the link to the NOS PP25AV (and I posted the links to the seller's NOS PP305 and PP335). Somebody got the PP395 P/C for $125. I spotted it when I went back to the listing when Mark said he'd bought the saw. That top end had been up for a couple hours at most....
