[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3182808, member: 15054"] East and west coast dealers or supply houses for the Mac saws both shut down. Every time I would go to a parts store to get a part they would say man that is an old saw. OLD!!! it was from the 1980's. I have a 1972 Homelite I used before that and same issue with it. That one had even more power. When you gave it max throttle it would torque over in your hands.. It was awesome. maybe one day I will get another really good saw ..But until then these Poulans will suit my needs. Why Poulan? and a little one at that the P3314 poulan. Because after my Mac petered out I was cutting wood with friends quite often and all day running a saw makes them eventually need a nap or something and we would reach for the little Green 14" Poulan and it would finish the day off for us and one day I started with that saw and it never quit. I needed a saw and some rather expensive ones had proved to be not so great so I got the little P3314 since that other one was good. Maybe I would get lucky and get a good one..So far so good. I do not push the primer ball EVER. I just put it on choke and do not touch the throttle and I pull the string and after 2 pulls or sometimes 3 it wants to start..I take it off choke and 1 or 2 pulls later she is ready to cut wood.
