Well today was the trial run of the Mini Mac 6, and after the week I've had I'm happy to say it was a huge success. Took less than 15 pulls to prime and start, a few adjustments to the carb and it's running like a new saw. I didn't even have to touch the idle adjustment. Not bad for a saw that's probably been sitting in a box for decades in pieces.
It has a ton of compression, my PVC repaired recoil works perfectly, and it has that great Mini Mac blarty / farty exhaust sound. My favorite quirky thing is that ridiculous "muffler" that you can literally look in and see the piston. When I shut it off I watched the piston come to a stop, haha.
