    I haven't tried running it yet, only had it a week or so.
    Supposed to run fine though or so I'm told.
    Not sure about easy to control but it's sure a pita to move around.

    Sorry, I just saw this now. I'll take a look and get back to you. I also got a reprint of the owners manual and parts manual if you have any other questions.

    I ask because there is another thread here when we got into old saw I said if I remember the old McCulloch chainsaw I think called for 20:1 mix and that was with 30wt oil
    Found the tread
    Is it OK to run 50:1 mix in Chinese saw?it’s was me and high beam talking about the old mix ratio

    This looks like a two person saw, right?One to run the controls and angle, the other to hold the dangerous end and aim?

    I know it's slow and nowhere near the cutting ability as current saws, but back then 9 hp was a game changer.

    That is true I saw a old 2 person McCulloch cutting and they are slow but for the technology back then it’s really cool
