Thanks for the reply! I will try another way.
I put the 797 to work today, test log had to go with Phase 2 of the museum project moving along.

Started taking apart the McCulloch carb... unchartered waters. It's thankfully not very dirty inside, just old stale gas and oil residue.
Wasn't there a thread about working on these flatback carbs?
Edit: I found the link to Mark's Mac carb thread. Time to get reading....

I was able to watch the video, I see what you mean about the revving at the end of the video.
How long has it been since a carb rebuild? I wonder if your fuel pump diaphragm could be getting a little tired and leaning it out? Or metering diaphragm getting stiff.
You'll probably get plenty of advice to have a pressure test done on the crankcase, which I couldn't disagree with.
As far as I know this saw has never been messed with and has been retired until a good refresh has been done. My wife says she never gets tired of watching this tree hit the ground. Thanks for the reply!!!
That's a wise idea, the last thing you want to do is burn up a 125cc McCulloch!
Keep us posted.

Tank was about a third full. I did notice the fuel line going to the filter seemed a bit stiff and it made me wonder if the filter was not dropping into the gas when the saw was on it's side?
