Also here is a couple of future projects once I get ride of soem stuff around here I am presently trying to wrap up.

Full wrap on the 800. Not sure of how common that is:msp_unsure:

That 700 and 800 are in great shape. They will clean up nice.
 
Finally!!....Just scored a sweet Mac 650:hmm3grin2orange: with a very clean 3' Mac stamp bar for $75.00:rock::rock: Flatback carb was in great shape with no cleaning:rock: Fired right up and shook the shop:hmm3grin2orange:

Very cool!!! But what I want to know is when are you going to mix up that next batch of BBQ sauce?
 
That PM800 with the full wrap is sharp.

The 800 feels lite on compression. I have no idea on what condition cylinders are in or anything beyond what is pictured. After watching the rebuild 800 thread going on I figure this might follow that as well. :clap:

Thanks for the positives on this
 
Was that 800 in the load?

No that's Struggle's saw. I have a 7-10 Automatic that kind of looks like that, but the handle is not padded. Plus, it is only 70 something cc's.

There were (2) Super 44A's, (1) 250, (2) 1-41's (I think), and then 3 or 4 little crapper saws. There was at least one 10-10 on the crapper list, and a tiny Eager Beaver.

I was working on a really nice Homelite 1020 that was in the bunch, but unfortunately it has a bad flywheel and a bad coil. Oh well, I already have two running 1020's and a Super 1050, so it is good to have some parts around. There was a nice Homelite 102 that I got running. Also I got a Partner S50 running for a minute, and then I lost the spark. I was messing with a couple Poulan 361's last, but haven't gotten them going yet. There are five nice Homelite Zip's in the pile, so I think I will try my hand at one of them next.

I need to make a full list of the pile so I can part some of these saws out to the fine members of AS.
 
Funny thing about these finds is they always seem to come with some catches. Two Mini mac things came with my group and a poulan pro 260 of which these three are basket cases.

What is up with the mini-macs. It seems like they are still reproducing:bang:

Great score! I got mine a while back for similar money. Has a 26" McCulloch stamped bar (original owner sez he bought it NEW with a 36" B/C but he traded that bar in for the 26" since it was "more handy"......argh!). The dead primer-shatback carb was a lost cause, so I swapped in a Tillotson HL63.

Well JP.............when you get that 'pile' list together I'll be interested in the bad coil/flywheel XP1020 (if you want to part with it) and a Super 44A for sure. Maybe other stuff. I rebuilt the HL19 for your 795, and will send it to you once I get the throttle link all sorted out. Should finish it by Thursday.
 
I got a PM 800 that seemed weak on compression but it tested good with a compression tester. I could wrong about this but I believe the 800 didn't have the compression release because they have a "Q" shaped exhaust port for easier starting.
 
10-10 Auto

What is the right spark plug for a 10-10 auto? IPLs show 5 total different part numbers the only ones I recognize are CJ6 and CJ4 but which one is "normal" or "correct"?

My observations have been: (1) the full wrap is common to the PM800 as with the PM850 while the half wrap is common to the PM8200; (2) the Q port knocks about 20 psi off the tested compression, and if you are pulling slow (or turning the flywheel by hand) it will register ultra low compression; (3) some later PM800s came with DSP as did the DE80s; and (4) if you have a good running PM800 you are going to love it - just be prepared for its thirst as it doesn't make its power from nothing.

Yep. That's the only real drawback to my SP-81. It has a tiny just-over 10-10 sized fuel tank, yet its 82cc are far thirstier than the little 54/57cc saws. The full-wrap handlebar on my SP-81 isn't padded like the handlebar on Shane's PM800. Has a black vinyl-type coating over the same areas of the handlebar.

The 10-series shop manual states you can run the little tapered 5/8" 'peanut plugs' (can't remember the # right now) or the CJ6/CJ8 plugs with the metal gasket.

I agree with Ron on the fuel consumption. After running my 10-10A for a couple of yrs, I was surprised how fast the
SP-80 would burn thru a tank, pretty small tank at that. But gotta love the power they make. Make sure to carry and use the ear plugs LOL.
 
Mine has a very new Bosch R0 768 installed .... saw runs great!

I assume that is an old plug NLA?

I will try CJ6 first and see what I get go to CJ8 if the color is off.

Thanks for everyone's help.
