Mcculloch sp125/101b kart saw build thread

[Bigmac]

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.

Even a link would be cool! Thanks Jacob!

Finally got to my air filter cover mount. Everything fits super nice, just need to make it look nice!!

 

[Bigmac]

Got the mount cleaned up

Looks real good Nathan!

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

Sounds great Mr. N! Is the block fairly stock or has it had some port work?

Thanks, the block had the transfers squared up, but I checked the port timing. And it was identical to the bone stock 101b block I had, so they were not lifted, exhaust stock too
