Mcculloch 395 problem?

[Fonsi]

Hi, I'm here from Spain, I just bought two McCulloch 395 chainsaws and it seems to me that they have some play in the connecting rod in the crankshaft part, in the rollers it has 24 and I needed to know the exact measurement of these, thank you very much and greetings to all

Yes

Yes

What would be the solution to put new needles? and what size are they thanks

The 395 was the European version of the Super 250. I can give you the bearing dimensions in inches; they are

.0944 x .546 / .547

Axial play is quite normal, radial play is not acceptable. If your bearings are small replacing them should help but you probably need to check the crankshaft journal and rod bore as well.

By the way Fonsi welcome, to AS!

The Super 250 saws were very good performance wise and the 395 version would be very collectible on this side of the Atlantic. I hope you are able to get at least one running properly and can give it a good workout with at least a 30" bar.

Thank you very much for the welcome, it is a pleasure to be able to share this hobby with all of you. If you need help to get a 395 here in Europe, do not hesitate to contact me. connecting rod and crankshaft to adapt 2.5mm needles I am looking for a manual to be able to take it to the rectifier thank you very much

There is a "Beg for Manuals" thread in the chainsaw stickies section, if you post your request over there you will very likely get a response.

Hello, I have the manual but the measurements do not come out or the one I have does not specify it

Today I bought this in France it will arrive next week

Look at the bottom of the crankcase, it will have the model number and serial number stamped on it. I am guessing it is a 1-45 or 1-45 maybe.

I don't think I have every seen any published dimensions for anything other than the bore and stroke for the old McCulloch saws. I guess they figured the crankshaft and connecting rod & bearings would never wear enough to require replacement. There were charts with the standard and oversize bore in inches or mm...

It may be this number I do not see more in the cylinder

Here I have my two jewels together, I hope to be able to finish riding soon and be able to cut down a tree

 

[heimannm]

I think that may be a replacement block and the 83830 identifies the new block number in place of the original model number.

I have a fair few Super 250s and similar. It isn't unusual to have what feels like a bit of free play. I recommend taking the exhaust off and rocking the crank at the free play while watching the piston before you pull down. It is likely ok.
