McCulloch 10-Series...



There you go Jim.




You're right Randy. Nobody'd believe that scene if he'd been using a Homelite 2100-S instead of that McCulloch CP-125....because the Homelite wouldn't have crapped out.

it would have boiled over and burst into flames

I've never saw that movie before. What a scene.

That was the first time I seen it too. Couldn't help but think, gee, why didn't they rip out the fuel line after the saw died. The swimmer could've used it as a snorkel. Didn't have to drown!

The reason is it was a movie

I think it has to do with the horizontal cylindres vs the vertical cylinders...
On my old Stihl 050, the sound is just amazing....

I disagree about cylinder orientation, but generally agree on the reeds part although every rule needs an exception and big-banger Dollys and 288s have that same lumpy sound to them without the reeds. Displacement, high compression, and port timing are the big-3 to get the noise.

Some of it has to do with the Muffler too.
