Hmm seems the mini mac threat wasnt enough. How about having to pull the connecting rod off a skilsaw 1629 and reassemble the whole thing? That will make you wish you had a mini mac to work on... :hmm3grin2orange: They really are that bad.... My dad (phd in engineering) saw the ipl for the bearing design and started laughing. Said it was the worst designed thing he has ever seen in his life.

If you want an idea of how bad it would be, I can scan my ipl for them?

Had one of them , gave it away. LOL Along with any and all mini-macs I end up with ! :msp_scared:
 
Got a good start on tearing the mac down. All the covers off and cleaned, main part blown clean. A little slug break before I pull every thing else off. Seems I have to pull the flywheel and split the case to remove the jug? McCulloch... LOL I think i will stretch this into a two day project....

Im sure it is. I am only going to work with old macs, to keep the brand enjoyable. No interest in later ones? I dont like many saws after the 1970s? The 1980s had a few good ones (pioneer p-series, some stihls and huskys) But I like almost all the saws from the 1960s and earlier.
 
More slacking.... :msp_mad:

I had a nap, and some food. I am still too tired to work on a saw. (I feel I will miss something important and turn a nice saw into parts) I think I will make up some coffee.

If this slacking keeps up, I might have to start shipping out skilsaw 1629s. :msp_sneaky:
So much for keeping it extra loud today..... :(
