McCulloch Chain Saws

[dieselsmoke]

Gaawd, I feel like throwing up. A fairy and a desk jockey to promote the "design" avantages. Geesh. dont they know "retro" is the thing now???? How bout this for the next Gen. mac???

 

[wendell]

BTW what the heck is a chainsaw range? Can you cook on it?

I was wondering the same thing. I just figured I hadn't learn to speak Mac yet.

 

[homelitejim]

I think you can cook on it since they said it has meat in it. One plus is that it has muscles so guys that worry about how much a saw weights can easily use it, it will provide the muscle for them.

I guess I don't have enough hair on top to be a new MAC man. Ron

I'll take your range a step further... and fix this thread at the same time!

Glad to see McCulloch back on a saw, but THAT!?!?!? First thing that needs to be cut is that guy's hair... dang bird hippie.

It's saddening to see what some of the best saw making companies have become.

Homelite, Poulan and McCulloch were excellent saws back when they were made the right way and still run to this day, while the ones made now are basically junk that die early in life with a homeowner trying to cut a branch after straight gassing it.

I really wish someone that was filthy rich would buy the McCulloch, Poulan, and Homelite names and make the saws like they were made years ago. Not gonna happen though... :msp_sad:

Not only won't it happen here, anyone who could afford to never would. OSHA, EPA, and a TON of other alphabet soup entities that have to justify THEIR existence regardless of how many people you might employ or justify yours stand in your way. If I was a billionaire tomorrow, I wouldn't want the headache. I couldn't manufacture a 797 today. It vibes too much, it's loud, the emissions would never pass, oh and it makes so much horsepower, the purchase form would make buying a handgun seem easy in comparison... Plus a guy with Vanilla Ice hair would have to explain to you in a lispy accent how safety chain is both effective and conscientious of the beauty of the preservation of human life or some such drivel and the PR department would be full-tilt explaining why I clobbered yet another clown who straight-gassed one under warranty.

That video belongs in the WTF thread.

 

[dieselsmoke]

CPR, your S250 sounds real good. Ya gott love the self blipping throttle!!!! Is that from the flatback carby? Or is there a vane style govener on yours?

 

[cpr]

No governor on S250s, that's idle circuit flatback action. Some guys hate it, I love it.

 

[dieselsmoke]

very cool. Sounding. Mines sporting a tilly.

LMFAO, bout fell out of my chair, espescially the part about the vannilly Ice hair do!!!! Well done!

 

[cpr]

Thanks.

I pray my 48890 will do this when I get the 797/101 built.

That, however, is about to get ugly because the 101 isn't here yet. I'll keep this off the internet...:angry2:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just struck a deal with a fellow a couple hours from me for this Super 550. Underneath the sawdust, it looks pretty darned clean. Nicer than my other Super.

Unfortunately work comes first, so I'll be picking it up after the weekend.

You are starting to irritate me.:msp_biggrin:

Nice score, Been wanting one myself.

I'm with you on that. I contacted the owner minutes after it was posted, had to go up into Orygun, didn't have time to follow it up.
Atleast it is one of us, it could have gone to a feepay part stripper.

 

[promac850]

Well Mac whores, (me included...) I went out to the barn and actually looked at all of the 790 parts that I received from a very kind member here... I had a lot of trouble holding back the drool... just like when I got the 850... :msp_drool:

I slobbered all over the engine, it is clean now... The quantity of drool has risen exponentially due to the Pro Mac 850 running and a 790 sitting in a box waiting to run...

Still haven't cleaned the workbench yet, as the car still needs a little electrical work, a new cap and rotor, and plugs... hopefully it won't need injector seals too... :censored: vacuum leaks. :bang: It's bad when you can't fix it with carb cleaner...

I will be trolling feebay for the piston rings, and also will (at some point) take an inventory of what I have and what else I need to get this beast together... so that when I'm done farting around with the car, the saw should have everything I need to assemble it.

As for the guy that sent me this beast... thanks!! You deserve a beir. :beer: PBR only, though...

a guy i work with says to stick with selling porcelain unicorns - no liability and no real performance requirements.

the new muh-cole-uck. i hope it doesn't suck as bad as they advertised it.

i think the second dude was a porcelain unicorn in a poor disguise, btw.

Yep.

That is the only way to pronounce the name of the new Macs...
