Mcculloch sp125/101b kart saw build thread

Terry Brannon (Cascade Saw) did a good write up on capacitors that would work in place of condensers. The capacitors can be soldered in
and would (potentially) be a permanent fix. I can't find the info now and Terry's Cascade Saw page is down. The write up was on AS - I'll
see if I can find a cached copy.

Made its first cut, all I had was a 4 x 4 to noodle! LOL
Saw feels good, it is tuned super fat, it’s kind of hard to hear in the video but it’s for stroking super fast, and I’m happening is holding a tune real nice. I am at 3/4-7/8 on the low needle and and 1/2 out on the h, I think that means the carb is a little small. The clutch is a used three shoe I had, put the four shoe spring off of the exploded clutch on it to tighten it up, wish I had a little higher engagement on the clutch. Then tuning that I would be a lot easier, it’s kind of a fine line if I had another 500 RPM it would be really happy at idle

Use it to cut those bushes down at that stump and video it too. Then video the wife's reaction.

I was hoping Nathan would head up into the hills and start falling timber with it on GP property.

Ya their is plenty of wood, just have to ask, and see where it goes. People can be funny, you ask and they freak out they it will rot for years! and

I kinda want to try my homelite 750 and 797 with 50” bars too, so that may have to happen
