This is one of my favorite saws, this little Mac. Bought it at auction a few years ago, maybe $15 bucks at most. Brought it home, put new fuel in and ran it. Aside from some regular cleaning and sharpening the chain, it's been trouble-free. This saw doesn't owe me anything, so I'll start by saying that.
When I can run it at full throttle it cuts like crazy. Good power for a little saw like this. But now something is hanging up, and I can only pull the throttle about halfway. I don't know enough about how the linkage works to begin taking it apart to troubleshoot. But I'm getting resistance at the trigger and I feel like something is bent maybe or I don't know what. Don't know what model it is, either. Didn't come with a manual and I don't see the typical markings on it.
I realize it's a relic by today's standards and not many ppl run old saws like this, but thought maybe someone was familiar with old Macs and might have an idea where to start. If I can get the throttle back to normal it'll cut like it should.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
