600443 is indeed a Super Pro 70, certainly there are parts on the saw that would be desirable. Do you have any idea if the cylinder is salvageable? How much are they asking?

I don't know yet. this is as far as I got today. I didn't get home with it until afternoon.
will probably pull it the rest of the way apart tomorrow.
I assume this saw has automatic oiling with hand assist?
Pretty clean for a parts saw!
thank you.
clean now. but it was a disgusting mess, believe me.
I can't get the muffler off. there are 3 allen head screws. 2 of them appear to attach the muffler to the block. so far, I've only been able to get an allen wrench in one and it feels like it wants to break off so I haven't pushed it. the other 2 seem like they want a smaller allen wrench, but I've tried SAE and metric, and nothing goes in those 2.
how does the hard plastic intake manifold come off the block? appears to have some sealant. does it just pry off? I started to pry it, but it wants to chip.

Soak them. Hopefully they don't snap. I like aerokroil.
last question for tonight. I took all the carb bolts off, including the 2 underneath the carb. do I just pry it off? don't want to break anything.
Should pop off after the two bolts are removed. Sometimes the gasket wants to hold on
Just FYI ,usually when I see a unpainted cylinder it make me think it is probably a replacement. Which might be a good thing.
huh. is this a McCulloch thing? my stock Stihl and Husqvarna cylinders aren't painted.
A mac thing.
Most likely someone put it together using sealant, Indian Head or something similar that is keeping the insulator and carburetor in place. Also likely the gaskets will be destroyed when you get it apart but not to worry, gaskets are readily available (I have most on hand).
For the stuck screws, and impact driver may be helpful. The hex/socket heads are probably worn from heat and corrosion, sometimes you can get the next slightly larger (5mm in a 3/16 for example). Heat can also help, as will allowing them to soak with a good penetrating oil.
I don't remember where the driver came from, probably an auto parts store. The bits were found on Amazon.
It is a normal 3/8 square drive so that socket will come off and I use a 1/4x3/8 adapter with a 1/4" socket to hold a normal hex bit. I know I should get a 3.8 drive 1/4" socket but I just haven't bothered yet.

Even shocking it with a punch just a little bigger in diameter sometimes works.
My impact driver is the oldest tool I own, got it when I was 15 to work on my motorcycle!
They do work extremely well. I inherited two of them when dad passed. He was a life long mechanic and Air force aircraft mechanic in the 60's. I have memories of him using them.
