Re: McCulloch SAW Engines?

some companies had 2 strokes that rotated either way. it's a timing matter because in theory any two stroke is capable of running either way.. the macs rotated in one direction as far as i know.
the mini mac is a good limbing saw and general small cuts. it really likes this job and should continue on that path.
the difference in the pistons in macs is: chainsaw big wide rings except some super saws and kart motors narrow thin rings except some of the oldest models.
this has to do with reducing drag . you sacrifice cooling by using thinner rings to allow the piston to move faster rpm's. good for karts bad for chainsaws.
there are different pistons as they get younger but that reflects the changes in block styles.
Aaaaand as always putting in the correct part is the path of least resistance.

btw if you want to sell that 1-85 i might be interested.
send a p.m.
