Parts

Where are you guys getting your parts?

E-Bay or where?

Picked up some yellow today.

I also cleaned up the Super 6-10 and put in some newer pieces like the black plastic handle filler on the rear handle and a better flywheel cover. You will get a laugh out of this, I am new to the DSP saws, so when I got it fired I proceeded to tune it up, chasing it all over the place, thing wouldn't idle for crud or lean out at WOT. I kept turning the needles back and forth to no avail. I set the saw aside to collect my thoughts and realized that the DSP valve was still engaged. Hand to forehead. Will post picas and a vid later

Hey Aaron!!

What parts are still on your list?

I updated my list below.

Thanks a million guys. This whole weekend is 'planned' for me by the family. I won't be able to get into that PM850 this weekend unless I'm able to sneak in a few hours late at night after everybody hits the hay (I'm a night owl because of work). I'll try my damndest to at least get out there long enough to pull the carb and muffler so I can inspect the P/C.

I know already that I'll need:

-Rubber grip insert.

-Fuel line.

-Handlebar and mounting hardware.

-Gas cap.

-All AV buffers (top front, top bumper, top rear, rear handle, bottom bumpers, and front/bottom mount).

-Chainbrake lever.

-Intake boot.

-Some of the AV mounting hardware (some is there, but some is missing).

-Lower cylinder shroud and mounting screws.

-Bottom plate/brace.

-Muffler cover, reed, and reed stop.



That's cool Fraser. Between my runner SP-81, the SP-81 that I'm rebuilding with an NOS P/C, and this PM850, I need a whole lotta AV stuff. For right now, I just need the AV parts for the PM850.



Great story Randy. Glad to hear you helped the fellow and showed him what a "real" consumer/homeowner chainsaw should be. I'm no fan of the McCinderblocks, but they are good saws for the intended market. They're what the 029/290 creamsicles should be, but aren't....

I'll probably have to paint this saw, as the tank looks like it doesn't have much paint left on it. The AF cover decal looks to be in good shape, so I'll try to save that. It has "electronic ignition" between "McCulloch" and "Pro Mac 850".

I saw that too Joey. Also saw that this powerhead has the remains of a reed type muffler. Looked at the IPL for this saw (13-600439D dated 04/1977-08/1980) and it shows the 2-piece ignition system (same as a 4200-8500 Poulan BTW) as well as the later 1-piece electronic setup. The IPL also shows the small reed type muffler that's on this powerhead.

The saw does have the long 'muffler guard' clutch cover (even though it's not really needed with the small mufflers), and that's what's shown in the IPL. I'd like to put a short CB type clutch cover on this saw, as they look a hell of a lot better with that cover (when they have the small mufflers).

Hey I'm a little jealous now, I don't have one of those window decals. Someone please tell me where to buy one...

Randy can have his late model sticker i'll be happy just checkin' the heat here inside

Mark you got one of these winter type jackets ?

McBob.

 

[heimannm]

Send me one, or just set one aside and I'll pick it up next time I'm in the area.

A thermometer like that sold on e-bay last year, went for almost $500 if I recall.

Way to go Bobby, wonder who gave you that idea.
another fine example of obtaining information from others then passing it off as your own.
Your so impressive.

Checked the PM850's P/C. They look good (thank God). Will probably replace the rings as the top one looks worn. There are soft, somewhat crunchy white powdery deposits sitting on top of the piston. Not sure if they're the remains of bugs and such (the powerhead is loaded with them) or if they are evidence of corrosion. don't see any pits on the piston crown. Can't see the combustion chamber, but the rest of the cyl looks good from what I can see through the intake and exhaust ports. I'll of course tear it all the way down and clean everthing up. The Tillotson HS111 looks like it has a larger bore than the SDC38A's that I have. I'll have to measure and compare.
