Needed a bigger saw

[Lee H]

So I've been a bit tired of the lack of power my saws have. You know, The Mac 125's,
797, Homelite 2100's, Dolly 166's so I have had a tankerin for some more cc's. Well
I finally got a saw in my hands. This is a Champ Universal made in Australia. Has a
monster motor at 160cc's, 9.76 cubes. Made in 1955. These were actually sold without
a muffler but mufflers were an option. Now to get her up and running.
Special thanks to a fellow member for hooking me up with it.

Are you sure it’s not a built in canteen?

Hell, at 160cc it could be auxiliary fuel tank.

Wow. No muffler, exposed starter rewind and spark plug lead. That thing is a health hazard even by 1950's standards!

Looks like a perfect candidate for a pipe

Psssht...who needs a muffler anyway.
That thing is gonna be a bone rattler!!

Holy Cow Lee!!! And for those who don't know, his Hybrid 166 went through the big log at the CT GTG faster than any of the ported saws!

Good luck with that big beast!

By the way Lee, my Nephew (MecanicMatt) and my next door neighbor (Big Chris, you met him at the NY GTG 2 yrs ago) both say Hello! They both got a big kick out of the pics of your saws and the Mustang!

 

[Lee H]

Tell them I said Hi as well.

 

[BrokenSVT]

That thing isn't a chainsaw. It's a motorcycle without wheels. Wow!

That's the whiskey storage area.

All 160cc saws have that feature.

Where do you go from here Lee? A V-16 chainsaw?
