Thats a nice example of a 250 you have scored there 046. I bet it will clean up nicely. I hope all is sound internally, as it should not take too much to get her going again.
Best of luck with the revival, and hope to see some more pics.

My first McCulloch a model 47 man is it heavy. Don't know if she will run I will read the service manual that came with it. Looks like some scoring on the piston below the rings. I'm sure it will be fun trying to track down parts, included some pics.

I've heard these things will test your patience. It'll be a cool sounding saw when it's running, and looks nice just sitting there.
promac610, has the PM850 arrived yet? Ron

Yes, the saw is here!!!Thread is posted.
Like a kid in a candy store with a pocket full of nickles. Way to go can't wait to see and hear it run.

Okay I finally got some pictures of the 44a I asked about last week. What should I offer for this? Do I want it.

Model Profile: Super 44A
Well, it was only made for one year, I don't know what to offer. What are they asking?

A good running Super 44A would be like having a hot rod with a flat head V8, modern saws might be faster revving but nothing will pull stronger that that 87cc brute.
The whole 44 family were only a few steps away from the kart engines of the day, removable heads and all.
The greatest limitation for the 44 family (including the 1-70) was the "external" push rod operated points.
For a runner, $100 - $150 would be a good deal if you wanted a piece of history.

P.S. Looking at the photos again, that saw appears to be in very good shape, let me know if you don't want it, I may be interested. The early McCulloch saws of that family seemd to be very popular in your part of the country, I got a 4 saw package as couple of years ago but those saws had really been used.

He said $150. I'm sure he'll come down. It seems in nice condition. I'm not even sure why I want it. I just like the rumble of an old saw.
It was only made for a year? Wow.
He said it been sitting for a few years and It ran when It was put into storage.

150, try to negotiate down a little. If negotiation fails, buy it anyway. I've seen the so common PM610 for 150 on feebay all the time. A fairly rare saw for 150 sounds good to me.
Just remember to pull the muffler and check the piston for scoring. All you got to worry about IMHO. No scoring, buy it up.

I was just on the Bay and there seem to be some parts for it.
Is that saw generally a good runner? What I mean is it gonna be something I'm gonna be looking for parts all the time. Thanks for all the help.

The S44A is supposed to be a strong saw and a high reving saw for its time. I have heard nothing but good about them. I am currently looking for an oversized piston for one I have.
The only parts you are likely to need (assuming the piston/rings/cylinder are O.K.) are very easy to come by. The Tillotson carburetor is a little bit special but Bill Robinson in Fayetteville likely has everything you would need, bearings and seals are stock items at most any bearing supply house, even the clutch drum/sprockets are all over the place when you realize they interchange with 30 years worth of production saws.
The bar looks to be in good shape, and there are lots of vintage bars still around. the only thing that makes the bar a little bit different is the adjuster, there is a milled scallop in the bar for the adjuster to engage, lots of the vintage bars will have have two or three different adjuster options built in.
