hey al, the t70's were a good saw, not as much torque in the cut as an 044 and a little more "peaky" but they were a good srong runnger. and could be made to run better quite easily. i found they like to be a little fat, tuned around 11500 to just under 12000rpm. most would sound a little lean at anything over 12000rpm anyway :)
 i have no idea why mcculloch couldn't make a quieter muffler for those 10 series saws. my gawd, you'd think the person who designed it was already deaf from birth :D probably not even born with ears ;D but man do they ever make great torque.
on a side note. about 10 years ago i had an older gentleman show up with a really beaten to hell pm700 he wanted the chain sharpened on. he dropped it off and said he would be back in a couple few days to get'er (his words). i sharpened the chain, made another for it and decked the bar.
i go out to test it in the big log out back and the thing was winding up waaaay to high. put the tac on it and she was right around 15000rpm, but still burbling. i tried to get that saw to run properly at 12500 but she was having none of it. it just wouldn't pull it self throught the wood. no air leaks or problems i could find. i spun it back up to where it was and set it on the shelf. guy comes in 2 days later, i asked him about it and he said that was where it was when he bought it new in '79 and it has never wanted to run anywhere else. man did that saw cut it's as$ off! it would hold really good rpm's in the wood. that saw is still going today after cutting an honest 15-20 full cord of wood every year up until about 5 years ago when the old guy left this earth. his grand son lives a few properties down from me and still uses it for a tractor bucket saw. still pulls 160psi comp. and looks good through the exhaust and intake. some very minor scorring on the intake side but i wouldn't pull it down for that.
when I grow up, i wanna be an adult.
