All original OEM.
Only thing done was a muffler mod, and carb retune.

Only thing done was a muffler mod, and carb retune. And regular maintenance along the way. New air filters, spark plugs, fuel filters, new fuel line a year or 3 back, bars and chains.

$25?

Teaser, Mcculloch 101B in a 797 chassis. Been wanting to build one in this chassis for quite
sometime. Just finished assembling it and waiting on a new race carb for it. Hope to have
it running for the gtg.

Very nice!...who does your chrome?

I had a saw that did something similar. Turned out the fuel line had a thin spot from a rub and was sucking air.

I had a fuel line collapse on my 372 that acted like that -- right where it goes through the hole from tank up to carb area. New line from dealer not from factory solved issue. I had heard also that some factory lines were prone to this... I could be wrong though. All I know is it was a simple fix -- hope your 394 is the same. I'll bet someone at the GTG could figure out your saw pretty quick! Good luck!

Lee if there was a chainsaw gathering equivalent of the Pebble Beach Concours D Elegance you would win it every year...

Now that you say that, it's likely mine was doing the exact same thing. The hose rubbed thin and was between the tank and carb. I think I put a hole in it when I went to remove it and tugged it, it ripped open. It never occurred to me that it was collapsing and not sucking air. Good call.

Here's a picture of the "dent" in the line... wasn't breached and leaking air or anything... just compressed in at that spot and vacuum was likely collapsing it when saw was working hardest under load:

I will have a pile of fresh line with me

That is one good looking saw

It's got to be Gas by now.

P.S.


You quote as bad as I do.

Wasn't spicy enough to make gas...
