OK, can someone please list what saws come under the "Wildthing" category?
I'll have to see what we may have local.
If I can't come up with anything, I'll have to see if someone can ship one?

At a guess it'd be one of the current McCullochs Al.
Didn't Spike post about it in the 'new' McCulloch thread ?
Which one is it Spike ?
Do we even have Poulans here ?
Maybe the Aussies and Kiwi's should do a "I bought it at Bunnings" build off
{edit} which one of these = a Wildthing fella's ? http://www.bunnings.com.au/products_subcategory_chainsaws_331.aspx

Yeah we do have Poulans, some and scarce.
Someone did mention Poulan Pro 260?
Rick........are you in?

Yeah, what the hell
Maybe we need to do a variation, eg those crappy Chinese Baümer AG things ? although the little ones would be fun.
I think i know where one or two of those were/are laying around.
I reckon Serg would be in too, looks like I've finally found some pneumatic 90* angle pencil die grinders in the US at a reasonable price and Serg wants one too.
I actually have a Mac 3805AV here, or is that too 'classic' seeing as it was actually made by McCulloch before they went under

Wildthing in yellow for the OZ crowd.
Can you run .325 on it?
I think a sprocket from a husky is available, but I think I'm pretty much where I want to be with this saw for now, this is purely for fun.
Well here she is in some maple. Man I thought she bit the dust for a few minutes, but the spark plug boot vibrated loose. Best rpm I saw was 13.200 not sure what they spin stock. To people who actually like these things, I'm sorry but they really are POS IMHO, my hands are still a little numb lol, but man is it strong for it's cc's
Anyway here is the WT in all it's glory. It does have some power for 42cc

Not trying to hi jack but you say there is a .325 sprocket that fits?? Is that the same sprocket that a PP4218 uses. Let me know. I need a .325 sprocket.
That's a good looking wild thingy. It sounds pretty good too.

Not sure on the sprocket, I'm really not all that familiar with these saws.
Thanks for the complement, she runs much stronger than stock, actually pretty darn strong.

Guess who's back
if you can find a husky 142 with one:monkey:

On the .325 sprocket, it was pretty common for 41 and 141 Huskys to come with .325 10 or 15 years ago, so a sprocket certainly exists. I can post a number later when I get to the store.
I'm going to try my 142 today, but I'm not going to stretch the limit until we have the next GTG. It's already got some scoring, (but still has 135psi), so I don't want to waste it yet. I want to try a before and after run at the GTG with and without the flywheel fins and see what happens.
For my open house/GTG at the store this fall, I'm going to try a different format with this. Instead of the usual deal where everyone cuts against the clock and then we keep track of the times, we're going to run twin cants and have guys cut against each other. Kind of a round-robin playoff format. You win, you move on to the next round. The finals between the last two guys could be a 2 out of 3. The big plus here is that a lot of guys get to cut more than once. I think that type of format would be a lot better for a larger group of guys, say a dozen or more.
With a smaller group, you could vary it by having everyone cut against each other and then tally the "wins and losses" and then have some playoffs based on those standings. Say with six guys, the bottom two would be eliminated, with the top four having semi-final and then final rounds. Again, the idea is the more cutting the better. To me, the lack of appeal to racing has always been the deal about just making two quick cuts and then you're done.

Andre, that saw's running super strong! Excellent throttle response too. Looks like it's holding it's RPMs well in the wood too.

No, but I'd like to find one.
