McCulloch Chain Saws

[homelitejim]

What's the news on the 6 cube 10-series?

we are running into displacement problems, cant quite fit 99cc of water in the combustion chamber, we are rethinking our approach as we would still like some compression and a bit of performance, as of now we would have a nice idler with a flat smooth rev with enough power to spin the chain.

not giving up hope, still a work in progress.

BTW, if I am sending you parts please be patient, they will be coming, I am just running out of daylight at the end of the day.

That would be cool, I hope it works out. BTW, I'm not giving up on the 82cc 10-series gear drive. I still need a 2-10g or similar donor for parts though.

I don't care which way the others do their saws. I have enough trouble with them when they're stock. I occasionally do a carb modification on some old saws with that rev limiter thing built in them, forgot the word for it.

I've got a couple extra air vane governors for those purists if anyone wants them.

If you really want to start a frenzy go on buick grand national forums and tell them you want to toss the turbo v6 for a SBC v8.

Purists are usually Homelite guys, some have been known to replate screws.

Unfortunately when you have a 100+ saws like some of the members do on the forum there are going to be some garage queens.

Mark will show you what I mean

Those guys mostly hang out on HOH ans CSCF. Haven't seen them get upset when other folks modify their own saws either. It is amusing the lengths they go to when restoring saws however....

Thats a little insane

A little. No different than the guys that do the concourse restorations on old cars. Everything's gotta be perfect down to the part numbers on the belts and hoses, and the paint daub 'inspection' marks. Those guys are over the edge.....

Yeah but when they are done the car is worth $100,000.......when your done with a saw its worth $100

Depends on the saw. Have you seen some of Lee's or Darrin's restored saws? Try getting one of those for $100. $1000 wouldn't touch most of those....
