--Speaking of yellow-case gensets I saw a 2kw one in an auto parts
catalog yesterday with the McCullough brand on it. Looked pretty much
*exactly* like the 2kw Honda except for case color. I wonder if this is
the
same unit? Generally I trust McCullough as they make kewl chainsaw stuff.

The McCullough of today has nothing to do with your father's or granddad's
McCullough! The company has been bought and sold, probably several times and
has become a whore for the China and Taiwan tool market. Same can be said
for Homelite. Homelite is owned by the same conglomerate that owns Ryobi,
and Home Depot's line of Rigid tools.
The only thing I would "trust" about a McCullough tool today is that it is
guaranteed to be a cheap import
