I have a sp70 with a fresh engine from ol bob a few yrs ago. Its got less that 20 hrs on it. It runs very well. It will definately out run my pm700. No question at all.

Somebody needs to port time these. All the 70s. Put it to bed once n for all

Ed and all - eBay seller cinci5 is making the gaskets & diaphragms for the flat back carburetors. I have several different fuel pump sets on hand I need to test, maybe this week?

Jeff also participates on the forum here. If he doesn't see this post and chime in I will guide him over.

I ran my SP70 bone stock (freshly rebuilt with a NOS piston and cylinder and NOS reed muffler) against AWOL and his slightly modified 7-10 a few years ago...the SP70 with the reed muffler was so quiet I didn't think it was working all that well but it was clearly faster than the 7-10 and a muffler modded 372 Husqvarna in a decent sized log that day.

I also ran my 7-10 (new piston rings, that's all) against a very nice PM700 at another event and it wasn't really close...the 7-10 was clearly stronger and faster than the PM700. The guy running the PM700 was a former McCulloch dealer and noted that the 7-10 was always a better saw than the PM700 version.

The PM700 saws were built in greater number and there are still more of them out there running and working so I believe they just have better publicity. Besides, who wants an old points ignition saw when you can have a PM700 with electronic ignition and the big, heavy aluminum clutch cover that extends over the muffler?

I took the reed off of my 700 after I bought it new in 1988. It was disassembled and ported and polished then. Extremely loud but it cuts ahead of my 372xp. Both have a tsumura 28 bar and both weigh within ounces of each other. Big saws are heavy no matter what.

Just add a heavy steel full wrap handle while your at it! Then it doubles as a battle Mace!

Yes they do! The Tsumura bar takes about 9 ounces off the weight.

Guns & chainsaws,now that's a lethal combination!

It’s a lot of fun no matter what! The tree was dying from black ants and had to be removed. Then it was conceal carry class day.

Finally a long wanted saw is heading my way thanks to Ruamati another mac guy from down here for spotting it View attachment 1077674
Was the guys grandfather's saw but the starter screws kept falling otherwise runs well and carves through wood he says. So hopefully it's a good one.

I've got 700s and 7-10s galore but the SP or even CP has been alluding me.

The cool thing for me is I got the saws story and they are chuffed it's going to a good home and not the dump

Good for you!!!!!

Spun out the bearing on my 32" bar on my 850 today
Will probably be in the market for at least a roller tip if not a whole bar.
3/8x50

Will this work?
Thanks

Howdy Folks,

Any recommendations on a 10-10A replacement pull cord? I ripped one right off today after a rebuild.

Diameter for replacement?
Are hardware store kits sufficient?

Thanks!
