McCulloch Chain Saws

[Syncop8r]

I probably shouldn't have, but I spent my last $50NZD (~$35USD) on a fire-damaged PM700 and a seized something else.
Who needs food anyway?

I wouldve bought them too...its a sickness, lol

Are their internals any good?Kinda reminds me of a Homie XL-12 I got last winter that was half buried in manure for quite some time.I did manage to revive the saw & it runs quite well.I think I might have pics of it over on the Homelite sticky.

Peanut butter works well too for a source of protein,but being in NZ I don't know if it's there as a main staple like it is here in the US.

Farten with an old 1-50. Cleaned points and new fuel hoses. Flywheel wanted to play games till I broke out the slide hammer and threw a little heat at it. Working on the carb now. It runs but floods itself at low rpm.

I'm not sure. I know the 700 pulls over.
I think the best thing might be to tear each one down in turn.

I was just reading this now over some Pic's peanut butter on toast. The factory is in town and it's ingredients are 100% peanuts. That's all. And it's the best.

Oh... and Vegemite for me!

Don't get my hopes up too much!
Should I get 700 manuals or are they similar enough to 10 series?

I could have Marmite if I had to, was brought up on Vegemite though.

When I was 20 I became very poor... living on porridge and rice. I dropped from my (then) normal 72kg (at 6'2") to 55kg. Then I joined the army and ate all the food they had at basic training which got me up to 80kg.

Based on the decomp, I’d say the second saw might be a 7-10?

Ooh... perhaps there is a serial number on it somewhere...?

Behind the carb if its still there. Look at the cylinder fin's it will tell ya if 70cc. Look at your 2-10 you'll see the difference

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

7-10 cylinder


Must get around to building this 1 too its a mint cylinder
