Methinks you were bald before me Steve.

Mac CAD under control
Hi! My name is Ted .... and today I resisted taking a nearly free Mini Mac. I also resisted buying a nearly minty PM 610 complete with tools and attractive travel case. :msp_thumbup:

Bah. That's like me passing up several Homelite 150's, Super2's, and 330's in my local CL. I guess I should give you some credit, but I wouldn't say your Mac CAD is under control....:msp_thumbdn:
I passed up a nice looking $49/obo ProMac10-10 last weekend...............or at least procrastinated until the seller pulled the listing. I had the shakes through the whole day (and kept going out to the garage to look at the 7-10A I got recently), until I saw that the listing had been deleted by the author. Then I said, "DAMMIT!".......................and felt relief.:cool2:

Ok Mac heads,
Looking for a thingy majingy for my
101-125 project. It's the little rubber bumper
thingy that is under the fuel tank just behind
the auto oiler. It has two nubs that push into
holes in the block next to the stuffer.
I have tried to buy a new one but no luck yet.
Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks Lee

Rectangular, with two nubs? I saw one of those on feebay recently. Can't remember who was selling them though. You could probably make one out of a piece of V-Belt or similar material, held down with a couple screws countersunk into it.
Hey Lee-
If you can't find one, here's a substitute part: It's a rubber bump-stop from the lower left corner of an 066/660
crankcase, part number 1122 790 9300. It fastens with a 4mm or small SAE screw. You use, one on each side
of your cylinder and they work great.
I won't share a mug shot; I'll just leave it at Aaron could be my big little brother. I will share a Youtube video I stumbled upon today that I'll share to plant a seed with any here who have saws but nothing to cut. Maybe your community could use one of these. Please don't flame me for the kids running a splitter - I'm just a volunteer cutter there with the exclusive distinction of running big loud yellow saws. Ron

Cool stuff Brother Ron. Big/little in size/age? Are you in the video? No flames, but the kids on the splitter thing does creep me out some. Too much room for error and injury. Hopefuly they're well trained, conciencous, and well supervised.
I've been wanting to do something similar to the firewood mission that you're involved with through our church. My main wood hauling truck died last year, and I can only haul so much with the Ranger. There are guys with trailers, tractors and such. Just needs some time and organization. I have plenty of saws for my own cutting, and could let a few competent guys run some of mine. Most of the guys that are competent have their own saws already though. The majority of my saws don't have chainbrakes, and I only have a couple loops of safety chain. Not going to let some 'new guy' (especially the many teens that'd want to help out) run one of my old saws and get hurt...
I already have been giving my firewood to a few church familes that need it, plus the church/scout groups when they've gone camping. Since I moved to my current house, I haven't been able to burn wood at home. I just burn a bit when I go camping. I had a couple cords of wood left from the last house (my folks thought I was crazy for hauling that wood when I moved). It's about all gone now. Going to do some more cutting soon to replenish the supply. People still need it. We have stupid enviro regulations here that limit firewood burning (and instalation of wood stoves in homes.......which is why I'm outa luck for my own house as it only has an open fireplace). People that have wood burning as their ONLY source of heat are exempt however. Lots of folks in need still....

gurgling (boiling?)
So I have a strange sound coming from my PM700. I was doing a test run tonight (or just an excuse to run it?) with the new clutch spring and some semi-chisel I experimented on with some angles on the grinder. Anyway, its running really good and is properly tuned (4 strokes no load -- cleans up strong in cut). Nothing acting funny. However when I was done making cuts and shut it down I could here a gurgling noise like boiling fluid coming from the carb. When I opened the throttle it made the noise louder. It almost sounded like fuel was boiling in the cylinder. Scared, I removed the carb and checked the p&c yet everything looked great. It started right up and idles and runs just like it should. It doesn't seem to do it if I just let it idle it (which occasional throttle blips) until I put it in wood. I cut some more with it and then I looked at the p&c one more time and everything looks perfect. What the devil is that noise and is it a problem?

Probably just some unburnt fuel boiling out of the crankcase after shutdown. Those piston port Macs have a direct shot into the crankcase from the carb if the engine stops with the piston in the 'right' place. I wouldn't worry about it. How long does it last after shutdown? Does it still happen if you let the saw idle for a minute or so after the last cut before shutdown?
