McCullough Eager Beaver 3.4? good or bad?

[CrystalRiver1]

Found a McCullough Eager Beaver 3.4, seller claims it has great compression and needs only a carb rebuild.
Although it has not run in 3 yrs and piston/cylinder is still great.
Asking all of $30 and bottle of Shine!

Stihls are my comfort zones.
Whats you studs thoughts on this saw, reliabilty, and parts...any modded & ported possibilities?

Thanks
Reg

Reliable runners but most of the older Macs have oiler issues. If it's not running, I wouldn't buy it unless you just want something to mess around with. There's no market around here for old McCulloch saws. A good running 10-10 won't bring more than $50 and hard to get that.

Thanks Bud...I kinda figured that.
