Mac 15, I just got one.

I put some oil in the top end, pulled the exhaust stack, evicted the dirt dobbers from the port and can't see diddly. I'll have a close look at the p&c sometime later. The engine is perfect on the outside.==
Up in a corner was this yellow thing.===

The engine is perfect on the outside, and may find a home in a 640... whichever is more 'appropriate' for the untainted engine (again, pending the internals).
Don't do that... The Mac 15 has only 2 exhaust ports and 4 transfers. It's a fun saw to run, but a turd next to the full-house 80s and 87s and yes I have one and do like it.
Why would you run skip-tooth on a 16" bar? Are you talking about your 250 or a future 10-10?
the skip tooth chain idea was one of those times when my fingers were on a different page than my mind... i know skip tooth is not the way to go on short bars.... :bang:

Its actually all the rage on smaller saws, lot of skip tooth 3/8's LP comes standard on homeowner saws, like the imitation McCulloch visiting the shop right now. I would not go that route on a 10 10 until 20, 24 inch bars, and then I'd find a bigger saw. A lot of skip chain being tried around here now, Stihl shop has an 880 in to have one fitted on a 48" .404 bar at the moment. Saw owner likes the chip clearance in softer wood, eg cottonwood, soft maples. Doesn't think it cuts any slower, but doubts its faster, and way quicker to sharpen.
Hey guys, what would a brand spanking new 895 Crank and cylinder be worth?..
My SP125 has the HS124 fixed H jet.

While we all may gripe from time to time about the price that a particular MAC saw brings, this ought to help us keep a perspective that certain items are in high demand.

$202.50 plus shipping. I lost interest at $50 but I planned on using it. Ron

What has truly amazed me is the amount that people are willing to pay for a junk saw, but they won't shell out a little more money for a nice saw. There was a SP105 that I pointed out on here about a week ago, not running, no bar/chain, and missing all sorts of parts. It ended up going for about $360. At the same time, my buddy Axeman has a nice complete running SP125 with an opening bid of $600. Well, he didn't get any bids, so he relisted it for $575. I really don't want any more SP125's but I am really starting to get tempted.
I thought it was mandatory to own several of one model
I actually own 4. They just aren't all listed in my signature.
You know when you really have a CAD problem when your are actually hiding saws from other fellow CAD members...lol.
