I bleed YELLOW!
I'll get some more pics of it later when it's done. I still got the starter and fan shroud to assemble and install and the clutch cover. I put on the unfinished starter to test it this evening.
It's too bad the saw is looking good and that handle is beat up pretty bad

he wanted new rings, so i put them in. i think it was a good call. the ring gap on the old rings was about .080 and the new rings were .040. thanks again Fraser for the parts.
Up late?
It's 3:30 in the afternoon here in Tokyo...but my brain and body don't know when or where they are right now. In another couple of hours I take off for Ho Chi Minh City and should be thoroughly shattered by the time I get there.
I didn't take any photo's before I left, but I have a PM850 torn down at home right now with the most amazing broken piston. The cylinder didn't look too bad but I ran out of time before I had a chance to measure it. Hopefully the cylinder is not worn too badly and I can get by with a new piston and rings for this one.
54Stude may be disappointed if I end up keeping the tank as I had originally thought this one was going to be junk; maybe someone out there can come to our rescue with another tank for his project?

Does anyone have a source or any parts (piston, rings, crank bearings, and seals) for this saw? PM me if you do.

Good looking saw. PM coming soon. Ron
MAC Musings
It is hot out today so I spent most of the day gathering, inventorying and boxing my spare MAC parts. Almost all are now in 5 packed plastic totes. Amazing how much room I gained. Now I have to make a trip to throw out all the old boxes. I’m a little struck by my exposure to AS and the CAD it fuels. I just joined AS to fix one old 82cc MAC that I bought because of sticker shock when I went shopping to chose between a new 460 and a new 660. I look at all of the parts I now have, particularly the 125 parts, and think I am nuts as I could have bought both new saws and let the dealer carry the inventory for my investment. Then I look at all of the saws I have since gathered and remind myself that neither new saw would have been half as much fun. Thanks guys for all your help and encouragement. Ron

I just put that .404 chain and 20" bar on the sp81 yesterday and I got a call today to remove 6 trees from last weeks storm. Man was it hot down here. The sp81 worked great as you would expect. I brought a mini Mac for the limbing and it quit half way through.
