What?

Clinton?

@cgraham1

Huh?? I'm lost.

Oh, wait... I think I figured it out. That PM 850 that I got for free from the widow of the original owner? I probably should've kept it, but I traded it to Randy Evans... I also had a PM 700 that I got for $100 from an Indian guy in the Costco parking lot. It gone now, too.

You can see both in the lower right hand corner of this pic...

May start tearing into my first Mac project. Will definitely need some help and support from you fellers. Obviously going to need a handle and a starter/cover. Was hoping to gong the starter in my mess of parts, but no luck. Without further ado.....

Any idea where to find a starter and a wrap?

 

[Lee H]

Starter shouldn't be a problem, Keep a look out on ebay. 740. 790, 795 and a few other
models use the same starter. Wrap handle might be a tough one.

Would the starter from a 44 series fit that thing?

 

[heimannm]

The 44 starter would fit but would look odd due to the older styling.

Going to take a lioe trip to look at a SP 125C today. Anything in particular I should look out for?
Want to pick one up, but am not very familiar with them yet.

Pull the muffler and look at the piston, especially if it's over $400. Under $300 e.g. cares as long as it doesn't have too much white death, check the fuel tank for this.

Well...got there. Wish I would have gotten photos I asked for. Didn’t think the photo they showed was a Mac 125...but when I asked what it was, they replied with super pro 125c. Ended up being a Pro Mac 850...was in really nice condition though. But I walked away.

 

[sawfun]

That is a very nice 850, but nice as it is, it ain't no 125 of any sort. Then again 797's aside, not much else is.

Still tried to pick it up...but they wouldn’t come close to the price I would have purchased it at. oh Well...I’m sure a decent 125 will happen along at some point.

 

[Lee H]

What was there asking price Frank. Pretty clean 850's don't come
around to often. And they can be stout runners and put a smile on
most folks faces. But still ain't no 125 or 797.

 

[Frank bierce]

They were askin 500...said they’d take a little less.
