Thanks to Joe Salva and fellows like him we are able to raise these oldies from the dead.

Well I got the kit on Friday.

Well the kit fit perfectly. I'll have to let Joe know he did a good job. Now I'll have to dig the saw out.

Can somebody tell me where to set this carb at. H/L

I believe 1 turn out on both screws is an acceptable starting point.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Well?

Don't leave a brother hanging...we want to know how it works.

The 44/55 and D-30/36 saws all had that same carburetor. I was able to get a few NOS fuel pump diaphragms from and e-bay auction but never had to look for other parts yet. Good to know that Joe was willing and able to get new kits made up.

I think you will be pretty impressed with the speed and power of that old saw. My D-44 will spin up around 9,000 RPM in the cut.

The D-44 is 72 cc, the S44 is 80, and the S44A is 87, all three are pretty advanced engines for their time. I only wish they had an automatic oiler.

Well, not leaving you hanging. I'm just really busy and haven't got back to it yet.

I see you posted yesterday but my computer was saying the site was still down as of the time I left in the morning.

I promise I'll make you a video when I do get back to the saw.

Wow, I'm glad I came across this post, I'm looking for a carb kit for my newly acquired Super 44A. It was sitting in barn for
20+ years but looks to be in pretty good shape. Does anyone know the best way to get a hold of one of these kits?

Also, does anyone have a maintenance manual/parts diagram for this saw? I'll take a look through the manual section of the site. The "fins" attached to the clutch that engage the starter pully need some work/replaced. I doubt there are many parts available out there, anyone have an idea of where I might look?

If the saw was drained before storage, you might be pleasantly surprised when putting gas in it. These carbs were extremely tough, and often they fire right up again without any work.

Joe is a prince, I've gotten two kits for Carter ND's from him.

Uncle - There were a lot of McCulloch saws that used a right hand starter, and the clutch from any large frame direct drive saw would work...D-44, Super 44, Super 44A, 1-70, 1-71, 1-75, 1-76, 740, 790, 795, 797 to name the majority. Without looking, I expect customchainsawparts on e-bay would have one on hand. If you get in a real bind check with me, I might be influenced to let one go if you are willing to denounce the Buckeyes.

Thats a good looking saw!

Mine came with a HL on it already. A great runner and pulls strong

 

[Uncle Rico]

Thanks for the help everyone, haven't ordered any parts yet, but it's good to know they're out there!

As for denouncing the Buckeyes, that wouldn't be hard to do these days...
