Mcculloch 797, Super 797 thread

[Lee H]

Seems like every time i rebuild a flatback i have to go in it at least twice, but once they are good they run well.
I have a nos primer and the diaphragms so i may try it. I'll save the 103 for a super down the road.

Got a bit more done. I went with the flat back, lets see how that goes. It even had a working primer.
Go figure. Need to get the recoil done next then hopefully fire it off. Need to find a air filter grill for
the filter cover. Some of these parts have completely dried up.

Lee, glad you have done work to the 797. Went to a great home. Any updates? Please post a video when it is running and cutting. Scott.

 

[Lee H]

I may get it running today Scott, I put together a recoil and had to paint it.

Well i gave the flatback a try, It went rich at an idle then lean on top. Ditched it
for a HL103 as used in the early Super 797's, Runs beautiful. I tried to install a
video but it's to large. How do you shrink it? Do a shorter video?

Are you using YouTube or Vimeo?

 

[Lee H]

Neither, My phone to my computer.

I don’t think you can do it that way, you need a video service to be able to embed the video on here

 

[Lee H]

I put the video on youtube so now how do i get it here.

Hows that, Love the sound of a 797 over a 125. And this one is fourty ova.

 

[jacob j.]

Looks good and sounds great Lee.

 

[Lee H]

I'm pleased Jacob. next is to get a little run time and a few cuts to break the piston into the shape of the cylinder.

The 797’s have a distinctive pop to them, and that one sounds great!

Nice work Lee!

 

[Lee H]

Thanks Guys. Next to the 166's the 797's are my favorite, Not counting Kart saws.

 

[Scott Kelsey]

Sounds great Lee. Good work.

Just mounted a 36 incher with a fairly new loop of 68 super chisel chain. Hope to try it out tomorrow.
