91B alum Rods

I have two Mac 91B engines that have alum rods in them. Who made these and where they any good? The beams seem to look like a Carrilo rod used in car engines. Not sure I want to use them? Any info????

Re: Where's all them old Engineers ??

I wonder how they ever came up with the raised square lips on the top intake transfer ports on the 90 series and above? What was their thinking?

Re: Which spark plug for WB580/700?

E3 plugs are JUNK!!! Do not buy one.

Re: Mc9 cylinder hone question...

Use a heat gun on high on the ring area if you want to break them loose. Same on the wrist pin bearings if they are froze also. Never use a ball hone deglazer or the spring loaded 3 stone hones in a 2-cycle unless you really want to mess that cylinder up. The Ball Hone deglazer will snag the ports a...

Re: weekend schedule

Rick, You better hand Randy a Guide to McCulloch Engines because at Road Atlanta 2 years ago on the grid he asked what kind of engine was on my kart and he was serious. It was a Mac 91B1......Now I know he's not that dumb but he sure came across that way.

Re: Was it common back in the day for.....

Rob, I have had several of the short green wired condesors to break off the bracket while at speed. I have not had any problems the the long condensor.
