Having some trouble finding the duckbill valve for the fuel cap for a Mac 250. Does anyone happen to have a part number for it?

Look under Homelite. You can still get them and they will work with the McCulloch.
Thanks Mark. Could a regular LHS clutch cover be moded to work with these full wraps. I have been wanting a full wrap on one of my 10-10s but cannot seam to find one. I have a few 10-10s and would like atleast one to have a full wrap. I just have one RHS and it is not in very good condition and also have a 6-10 RHS but it too is not in very good condition. Neither are good enough that I would invest 50.00 in because neither could be daily cutters. Just been on the hunt for a while without and results. I have seen them but never one for sale.

can do tomorrow.
like that bike. saws r ok, too. lol...
almost bought a bul 360 back then. went for 74 400cr husky, tho.
Can anyone identify this saw?
With a cube style carburetor and that muffler (assuming it is original) and the shape of the fuel tank I would suggest it is a 1-10.
The carburetor adjust holes in the side of the tank bottom could indicate the saw was converted from a bullfrog to the cube style carburetor in which case it could be anything from a 1-10 to a 5-10, or a 10-10 with a different fuel tank on top.
edit - with no compression release it can only be a 54 cc version, yellow tank point to 1-10 or 10-10.
Not much help...

Thanks Pete - it appears all they did to make it work with the LH start saw was made it wider on the left side for added clearance. Could you get a measurement on the width of your full wrap. I am sure that I could work with the guys who fabricated the initial handles to make it wider on the left side and that takes care of the starter issue.
Others would have to be willing to modify the clutch cover unless you have a very early one like the one shown on Pete's saw and on the 7-10 in my photos.

The part number is 53766.
You can get them from Bob Johnson for $6 + shipping (607 638 9297).
The Homelite duck bill valve that works with the 10 Series is different, won't work in the large frame fuel cap.

Thanks Mark. I am pretty sure it's not a 10-10. The air box is different and it is a lot lighter than any of the 10-10's I have. I am going to bet it's a 1-10. You are right it does not have a compression release so it's going to be 54cc or under. Not sure what I am going to do with it. May just part it out or just let it set on the shelve until one day I decide to restore it.
Also got a 35A today. Now that one I kind of like and want to restore. I took the carb off and it sure is strange to me. Wonder if their is like a carb kit available for that thing? It has good compression if I can get the carb cleaned good and I always replace crank seals I am going to bet that is all this saw needs. Other than that the saw is in good shape. I know their are many out there but I just kind of like wanting to have one in my collection and it run and cut.

It also has 275771 on the base of the cylinder if that helps to identify it but I am pretty sure it is a 1-10.

Retired and messing around with old stuff...
Just a short note to let some know Bob Cornwell passed away a few nights ago. No details but it is factual from his family posting on his facebook page. May not be the right place to post this but he was known by so many in the saw world and posted in here as well. I'll miss talking to him indeed...

Yes, 87 cc. Lots of torque not a lot of RPM.
Carb kit is readily available as are crank seals. Good luck with it.

The 250 are pretty decent I haven't got to run mine yet make sure that you look inside the gas tank before you get to serious mine was half full of corrosion it literally ate the lines off of it

And the corrosion ate holes in the bottom of the tank
