McCulloch Chain Saws

[2broke2ride]

I fixed my 10-10 hot start issue with a new cap thanks to someone's advice here. It had a defective duckbill valve that was not allowing any pressure to build in the tank to prevent boiling.

Guys, don't get Brian sidetracked with that little saw, he has bigger things to think about . We are hoping for a little bit of fireworks for the 4th to show here. Ron

Perhaps he could blow up the 140.

Did you replace the cap with a new (different?) one or adapt a replacement duckbill to the vent setup on the original cap? Just curious. I've replaced a couple with good results but it can be a challenge depending on which of the three vent types you're dealing with.

I'm sure he will get it going. I hope we will be making a lot of noise of a different sort.

I replaced the cap entirely with a newer style one, (nos from ebay) at the time I didnt know I could get parts to fix the original and proptly tossed it. Paid way too much fof the new one.

I have seen a few frothing chainsaws, mostly fireline duty, the non AV 10 series takes 1st place, following by ten minutes were the 660s.
Homelite's XL12s will boil readily, as will the little EZs and 925s.
AV top tanks rarely boil, plenty enough air space.

My PM700 will boil on a heartbeat. It likes cold weather. Ron

I have a couple of my 10-10s that need the duck bill replaced. I have the duck bills, just not the time to work on them. Heck I have a pretty new Pro Mac 10-10 that needs put back together and a 6-10 to take apart, replace crank seals, rebuild carb and just a general health check. Get running and ready to work. Also need to clean most of my saws because I have been lazy lately and not cleaning them after use. Well I have 2 PM6s to use until I get time to figure out what the 140s problem.

This thing does better in cold weather and worse in hot weather. I also have a 10-10 that is the same. One day I will fix them.

Took a few more parts to Brian today. Hopefully we will have our noisemaker ready by the 4th.

Here's hoping we don't hear about you guys in the news.

Have FUN!

After this resurrection I put a power pipe on her.

Are the copper colored parts paint, plated, or made from copper.

Remember that bare aluminum or magnesium parts will be subject to corrosion.

Nice pipe by the way.

Looking at the solder joints i'd say chy made them from copper tubing
and some flat copper plate.

Hello Mark, that's made of copper.
You mean the galvanic action between the metals;
[electric potential between magnesium and other foreign metals]
(metal that get contact to magnesium) and (electric potential / unit: Volt) given by the galvanic action between them.
with magnesium 0.00V
with zinc/zinc alloy 0.05V
with aluminum 0.70V
with soft steel 0.90V
with aluminum alloy 1.00V
with chrome plate 1.10V
with copper/copper alloy 1.35V
with austenitic stainless steel 1.40V
with nickel plate 1.45V
with gold 1.75

Hello Lee nice to see you here. But do not watch them so close, or my poor welding should be unveiled, lol.

We need to see a video of it running, so we can hear the awesome exhaust.
