Is this a sachs engine?
 

I bought this engine a few days back, I didnt give a whole lot for it. The man I bought it from thinks its a Sachs 3.7 or a 60cc it weighes 6lbs and 3oz. Ive looked inside of the piston and it looks brand new and the outside is very clean aswell, this engine doesnt have much run time on it from the looks of it, but who knows? Please look at it and tell me what you think it is.

Im sorry guys, I dont know what went wrong while loading the pics, I dont know how to make them smaller, but atleast you can get a closeup veiw of the engine.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

It looks to me as might be a husky, it has the gilrooni cylinder same as the poulan 60cc it even looks like one of my mufflers. It could be one of carl orbisons conversions.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

I have a poulan 60 and it is not made like that

Wow, 2800 grams for a 60cc. I got a Turnigy 52cc that is 1583 grams with the cdi unit. Power to weight of yours is not great.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

here is my poulan 60cc

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

Thats up close to Livingston, it is about a hundred or so miles from here.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

Ken,

The first picture you posted had the mag in the wrong place for originally on the poulan the mag is placed in front of the cylinder. At least it was on mine.

This is a really good engine IMO.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

Mine doesn't have a mag on it it has cdi , I always cut the case and used c&h ign. The husky engines used the same cylinder and crank and such as poulan, both brands made by electrolux. But they phased out the gilrooni cylinders.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

If the mag is mounted to the cylinder it is a different saw

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

Mine is a Poulan 3750

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

I don't remember the model of the ones I did. I know they made a lot of different ones. I have done probly 75-100 different poulans and huskys stil have a few.
Do you have a pic of yours?

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

Here is another 60cc I currently use

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

If you resize your images before uploading, they will fit better. 800x600 would be nice.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

My son has had mine for about 4 years but I remember it looking more like the last 60cc picture you posted.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

Ok so what you guys are saying is that this engine apears to be chainsaw conversion? am I right? If so what prop size should I try and run on it? I havent run it yet and would like to try.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

so here are some more pics of it.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

Definatly a chainsaw conversion.
A 22x8/ 22x10 and if it has a lot of power 23x8

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

after looking at the last pic it is a poulan that has ben painted orange.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

Ken, what do you feel this engine is worth? I paid 40.00 for it, just took a chance on it.

RE: Is this a sachs engine?
 

If it was cut down and the mag and flywheel removed and a cdi ign put on it would lighten it a lot. It makes a nice engine with plenty of power at 40.00 depending on how much wear is on the cylinder it would be worth doing. As for the way it is and no more than I know about the condition it may not be worth much more, the muffler is worth the 40.00.
