The "Barn Saw"....need some help

[callagher]

Need some input...

I got her running good..Wow! Really winds up & down slow though. Running real rich at High RPM. Anyone happen to have a manual?

Any input on what is what would be helpful. Her carb is not really laid out like anything I've worked on before. Just thought I would ask before I opened her up more.

Direct drive! No clutch?!! :greenchainsaw:

That saw looks like a beast. Way to go on even running it . I'd probably be to scared. Evan

That would be a Mac 35,I got one just like it ,better shape on the outside,but I have not gotten around to trying to fire it up yet.

I think your clutch is froze. Acres site says it has a centrifugal clutch.

Direct drive means no gears, many saws were geared at the time when those Macs were made....

Today, direct drive is the norm.

Looks like this one also is a gear drive, Mac 35.

Takes big arms to run that saw

That is one heavy saw and ya I was very surprised when I started mine and saw just how slow the chain moves. Can't see using the saw for cutting anything but sure is a neat saw. Major pain and lots of screws to change the starter rope I found out the hard way. Good luck cleaning it up I figure I will put mine on the shelf. I could always get it down when someone tells me my SXL is slow LOL.

I noticed that right away when I got my Mall 12a running for the first time. Old technology.....saw designs have changed a lot!
