Who here has an interest to old chainsaws, I've got a 67 mcculloch mac 1010 57cc 20in bar and she runs! Also got a newer poulan with an 18" bar (told parents I wanted a saw for Christmas and that's what I ended up with) overall good saw for the price...well I spit the chain this summer n messed the chain up so I tossed it and was gonna go get a new one but tsc didn't have one so in the case it went and upto of the barn...tonight I was watchin some videos of muffler mods and figure what the hell why not so I opened the muffler up n knocked the baffle out n put it back together and also did an airbox mod my drilling holes in the airbox cover and the shroud that covers the plug carb n airbox, both mods woke her right up, throttle is crisp and sounds amazing. great mods and im gonna have a custom skiptooth chains made for both
Its pretty amazing the difference it made. Response is right there.
Used to have an old 4 stroke form the 50's. Used it a few time till the piston went threw the cylinder wall. Beat that thing could have broke an arm if it grad the wood right. It was damn powerful.
I want to make R/C from a Chainsaw motor but Just know I will never get around to it.
buddy of mine had a old old saw. it was a ford saw and that thing was tiny as hell
My boss has a couple David Bradley chain saws. Thou better be a big mofo to run them. Heavy and a lot of power.

Hey burl, while your playing with it try advancing the timing a bit, removing the limiter straps on the carb and switch to 110 octane with some good oil, that should net some perforance too. Id say remove the base gasket buti doubt it has one.

I got a brand new 460 stihl love it. Has all the power in the world lol
