big oldie question

[hoss]

How-do fellers. I am new to the site,but have been collecting for a while.I sure hope you guys can help me with a little problem. Recently I picked up a mcculloch model 73 (120cc gear drive).It is in decent servicable condition but it pobably will need a carb rebuild.Normally this would not present a problem however the carb is a mcculloch brand and I cannot find a rebuild kit anywhere. Does anybody know where I can find one or if a different carb will work in this application?Thanx for lettin me bend y'alls ears.



I luvs me some cubic centimeters.

Did you try running it yet? I wrote a 380 off because of it's orphan carb, got bored one day put some gas in it and started it.

Bob's Lawnmower repair in Maryland, New York has the rebuild parts for those McCulloch carburetors. Sorry I don't have his number handy right now, as its at work in my shop. He is a truly helpful and knowledgeable soul on all the older McCulloch saws.

Thanks fellas. I actually talked with Bob and he ahd some great stuff I had been looking for but not the carb rebuild kit for the 73 though he did have rebuild kits for later model mcculloch carbs.Also I did try to start it. It will pop and sputter a bit but won't stay running.



lotsa old saws,most running,some dirty

I too have a 73 but with a broken conrod it makes an excellent door stop, gut it's a great reminder of days gone by.
