Got a cheap buy on a 610 McCulloch and nervously brought it home, drained out the gas and put in fresh 50-1. Now I haven’t used a Mac since the 60’s so would like to know how old this saw would be and what would be the proper oil to gas I should be using. The only complaints I had were, weight, sharp corners and the oiler wouldn’t oil. It had an automatic oiler that was backed up with a manual oiler. One day, when it was about 9 or 10 years old, the manual oiler quit. The Pro Mac 610/650 manual that came with it says “Use only regular grade leaded gasoline. Do not use highly leaded, unleaded or low lead gasolines. Chain saw fuel is a mixture of gasoline and lubricating oil. The correct ratio of.gasoline to oil is very important. Follow the ratios in the Fuel Mixture Table. McCulloch 40:1 Two-Cycle Custom Lubricant is recommended. If not available, use a good grade SAE 40.two-cycle oil at a ratio of 20 to 1.”. Fact of the matter,some of the old Mac Kart engines were recommended to run on white gas.
I’ve pieced together a fair number of Echo saws as well. I’ve never been able to find anything regarding the 610, 605, etc. Not really concerned with any of the saws under about 50cc. Except maybe the 3200, 1635av & 1838av.
