McCulloch Chain Saws

Actually it was a 3/8 sprocket nose. I thought it would go cheap as a result, but I was too cheap as usual. Ron

Seems odd to have a 3/8" tip on that length of bar. Oh well, this world makes little sense to me anymore.

Who started this "Roller Fever"?
cpr again?

Stare into the shimmering light as it spins. I shall count backwards from 10... (sound of wolves howling and distant thunder).

You won't get me with that, besides Wolves know who to run from and thunder is a whisper.
There have been a few vids of shimmering rollers that kinda tripped me out. I miss the '70s.

Thank you Mark.

Here I thought we were in for a trip back to bell bottoms and roller skates, vans and disco balls, easy women and cheap gas.

Nice saws, Mark, but still a buzz kill.

Hey I picked up a parts saw for my S44A and 1-70. It was supposed to be an S44, but the block says S55. It is a direct drive. Were all the S55's gear drive? I remember hearing Mark searching for an S55. Mark if you want this one I'll cut you a deal, maybe a trade for the parts to accomplish my first task. Motor has compression when I pull the cord. Tank and carb are pretty messy.

Is the super 55 a rare saw?

 

[heimannm]

The S55 probably started life as a gear drive and was converted to direct drive.

I have one at home the same way and a donor 55 to contribute the gear box again if I ever find the time.


The S55 and S44 engines were the same, 80 cc and very near to the kart engine in design. In fact, I think my MAC 10 kart engines may have been stamped 44 first.

Thanks for the info Mark.

Here are some pics and a vid of my new 125/101B. This saw is the real deal. I never had a saw that torque steers this much when I goose the throttle. Can't wait to do some cutting with it. I will probably swap bars to cut with it. It has 404 .058 skip tooth set up now.

Looks and sounds great. I can't wait to replace the flywheel and see how mine will run. My wife shared some type of flu bug with me which has taken the wind out of my sails - maybe next week I'll get to work on it. Ron

Thanks Ron. As you can see in the vid I have gotten pretty good at pulling the cord with no compression release. Get it close to TDC with a slow pull, and then grunt, snort, and yank it hard, lol. Luckily this saw starts really quickly, because I wouldn't want to pull it too many times.

Probably next winter I will tear it down and give it a complete restoration. It is such a nice runner, so I will just play with it until then.

Very very nice indeed!
Sounds great!

Looks great. Would you mind posting the link for that video? Embedded seldom work for me on this site. Don't know why...

If you reply with quote to his post, the url will be there for you to copy.

That doesn't always work. I tried here and it didn't work. The URL is often (but not always) converted into code when vids are embedded here. My browser doesn't like it. Probably the same reason why his embedded video just looks like a large black outline with a tiny white square in it (and nothing to 'click' on) on my screen. When I wasn't able to pull the URL out of the quote of other posts in the past, the vids have worked for me when the person posted a link. I don't know if it's certain types of vids, or if it's a certain way folks embed the video..............but the URL doesn't show up for me in the quote often times. When it does show up, I am able to cut and paste it into my address bar.



This is what I get when I try the quote and cut thing. No URL. Just a bunch of code that my computer doesn't like.

I see what you mean. I wonder if the difference is if somebody embeds a video instead of using the video embed icon.

I think that may be it. Youtube videos are the ones that most often work for me. Photobucket vids do sometimes too. Sometimes the video player box is visable for me and works when I click it. Other times, the player box isn't there, but I'm able to pull the URL out of a quote. Not sure where the problem lies. I've even tried 'surgically' cutting sections of the code out to see if I can eliminate the problem area. Doesn't work. At most, I'll get to the page with the video player, but still end up with an error message. Funny thing is, embedded videos almost always work for me on other VBulletin sites. Just not AS. Damn computers....:msp_thumbdn:

 

[wendell]

I think that are still some bugs to be worked out of this new version of vbulletin but I do know that I have had less of the problem you describe since i switched to the new version of Firefox.
