All I want to know is how they synced all the carbs and drives, obviously not direct drive? Reduckulous build but could definitely be considered a banshee, once you got through startup.

I don`t thinks so. I have two, one is a light one for my wife`s projects and mine is a 4 HP McCulloch that I don`t use much because my firewood processing area is out of reach of electricity without transporting a generator back there. On a cautionary note, I purchased the original McCulloch several years ago when I was given permission to cut mesquite along the railroad right of way. It didn`t last long and it took over a year for them to warranty it. I would never buy another McCulloch product.Quote:

As to a multi chain saw engine powered machine makes me feel less lonely. Been dreaming of a tractor powered this way for years. Must have some kind of birth defect. :smash:

One item I have come to use exclusively are carbide chains. They outlast a regular chain by far. I cut a cord and a half of oak last fall with the same chain. They are a bit more expensive but well worth the extra bucks.
I found the above video disheartening! Some specs would have been nice, like the displacement & hp. rating of each engine & maybe a timed run of the bike, just something to show that is wasn’t a waste of time building it.
