Mcculloch 550, will it run?

She wants to live! sounds great. I run all of my stuff across the board at 40:1 with Echo Red armor oil. I have several vintage saws and have never had any issue with it.

40/1 is fairly close to the 32 i usually run old saws on, these arnt too bad but for the really old pioneers ect that you will see on the channel shortly that are stock 16/1 i feel safer running them on that!

@@TravosGarage yea, I figure oil technology has come a long way. Back when my grandfather was first running saws in the 60s/70s they would just mix up straight SAE 30 at 16:1. I agree some of the older saws, especially ones that don’t have roller rod bearings probably like more oil

Started good for a old girl 😅😊

[@TravosGarage]

agreed! i do like these old macs for their robustness.
