I bleed YELLOW!
yeah, its rough. it certainly wasn't described to have all those broken things. it was described to have a good P/C...etc.

The latest eBay policy revision has original shipping fees refunded as well.
IMHO, that is going over the edge in the bias toward the buyer. When I have a problems with a purchase from Home Depot, they don't refund my gas from the original trip ..... :msp_confused:
That thing is not a turd, it a four hour post indian restaurant pile of sh*t. I dont know what to do. Seller thinks I stole the coil off the saw and apparently wont accept it without the coil. I have no Mcculloch saws and a coil with an apparently cut plug wire is half of an ignition system I dont need. And I wouldnt have gone to all this trouble when if i had wanted a coil there is one on ebay for $9 vs $73. And seller says he wont refund shipping, but as someone just pointed out ebay will require this, yay me.
However if the sun shines on my backside for once this week and someone finds a P/C maybe i could just get this thing into frankensaw running shape???
And big thanks to Joey for helping me out in this mess. And thanks to all you guys on the site....Im SICK and cant do much but lay here and browse AS

I'd open a dispute with eBay immediately. With those pics, I don't see how you couldn't win.

get it figured out then let me know which way your going. then we can work something out on parts or a complete 80 or 81. fraser.
I justed opened a case and we will see how this pans out. This guy/girl is a jerk to put it mildly. Accused me of lying and trying to pull a fast one. As I told ebay, why would I keep a broken half of an ignition system to a saw and i dont own any other mccullochs???? Basically they were trying to pawn off this pile of junk as something that could possibly be fixed. As far as I can tell from Joey there really arent any useable parts on the thing!

The only issue with building a good running Kart saw with 15 parts is the crappy stock intake manifold. You'd best fab your own or make one of the Kart manifolds work (if any are at the right angle). Other than that, a 15 would be the easiest Mac to put a Kart engine in. Everything's out in the open. Of course you'd want to ditch the crappy Tillotson HC for an HL. Some late 15's had Walbro SDC's too. I've seen a breakdown of the 15 specific SDC setup in the McCulloch Chainsaw Carburetors publication. I've seen pics of a couple SDC equipped 15's on AS, CSF, and ebay as well. The intake manifold would be the real indicator that this 15's nowhere near stock. That, and the opperator having to really pull to get it lit!

It would be easy to put twin carbs on a 15.

Darn tootin'. The 'open' layout of that saw leaves a fellow with more room to play with their setup than most of the other old Macs. Heck...........it's layed out somewhat like a modern 'bike' saw anyways. Maybe that's why every jackwagon that posts 15's for sale on feebay feels the need to insert "Kart" into their ad title and description. The stock engine's a turd for a kart (or a saw)..................but the saw itself (with a Kart engine swapped in) could be a real hoot...:hmm3grin2orange:

I have one, maybe two Mac 15's with SDC carbs on them.
I have a plan for a 15 hot saw,if I ever get around to building it. :biggrin:

You could put 4 on it two on top and two on the bottom make a real super sucker outta it
You would be needing to make a stand for it so it wouldn't suck dirt then it would look like one of those hotsaws they run in the Stihl Series

Do not give up on it quite yet, many of these saws will interchange parts easily. A couple 10-10s and a SP60 then cruiz the scrap yards for a PM850 or other 82 cc saw and you could be up and running. My CP70L was toast and now it is a fine 82 cc saw with more compression than my SP81.

I'd be all for that. But you all have me at a disadvantage. I know it may sound bizarre but I've been through the scrap yard we have and the recycling drop off and I've never seen one single chainsaw. Apparently I live in the black hole of the universe. So pretty much I am at your mercy. If somebody happens across something let me be the first to know!
