I'd like to trade or sell my McCulloch 805. It's a rough one. I'd trade it for a Husqvarna 162SE in whatever condition, or I'll consider selling it for $75 plus shipping.
* The clutch cover and rear cylinder cover shroud are broken. Muffler is rusted out. Engine will not turn.
* The cushion on the full wrap handle is gnawed up and handle has some dings, but I don't see any cracks or welds on it... should be a good useable top handle. Top cover, tank, rear handle, bottom skid plate, recoil starter assembly, trigger group, carburetor, oil tank cover, and clutch, all appear fine. I'm guessing the short block should probably be good, same goes for the ignition coil and flywheel.
Private message me with correspondence if you have a trade, or want to buy it outright.

I pulled the recoil starter off and found that the flywheel turns freely about 1/2" either way, then as you turn it feels like it gradually presses against "spring" tension. Not a solid metallic dead stop... but a cushiony stop.
Maybe there is a ring pooched into the port hanging up. Or maybe something with the auto oiler worm gear assembly. I don't believe this saw has any kind of reed valves or anything. Just does not feel like a crankshaft or rod issue. I could be wrong, just guessing.
Anyway, I've dropped it to $75.
