McCulloch Chain Saws

[heimannm]

1/8 x 1/4 x 2" long for the 300 Series impulse. I bought several Zama C1 kits (RB-1) through e-Bay last week, readily available and reasonably priced.

Thanks Mark! I just bought a kit & paid $9.25 & thought I was doing good.Lol I put these on my watch list though,I always like to have a couple extra on hand.I've got a pair of 510's to go through & get going shortly,so those kits will come in handy.

How can I repair my SP125 fuel tank? I’ve decided to sell my 125 and when I got it off the shelf to make sure it still ran I remembered the hair line crack around the tank seam that leaks fuel. I think it had a rough ride when I bought it due to poor packing. Anyway, I figured I would attempt to repair the tank before I try to sell it. I looked at the ipl and it doesn’t show a gasket so does it just use sealer? Can I simply clean and recoat the tank with something like Kreem? I’ve searched everything I can think of and haven’t found a good solution. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Preston - Red Kote for the fuel tank. Make sure it is really clean before you treat it and let it cure completely before adding any fuel. I get mine from O'Reilly's.

Ed - I think the SP40 and PM510 use a Tillotson HU carburetor so check it out before you buy too many Zama kits.

Mark,according to Acres' site the PM510 had either a Walbro WA-8,or a Zama.No mention of a Tilly at all,but what I plan on doing first is taking the saw apart to find out exactly what I have for a carb.It's also been known that Acres' site has errors in it,so you could be right too.Neither one of the 510's has spark,so I'm assuming it's a points issue.

Hey pt, any pictures of it? Ive been wanting a sp125 but cant afford the insane ebay prices. Are you selling it here? Shoot me a asking price and pictures if youd be interested in getting rid without having to post any ads please. Gimme a shot maybe we can work out a deal. Thanks

The SP40 has the Tillotson HU, the PM510 has the Zama C1 or Walbro WA-48; they are all three interchangeable. The giveaway is the gasket between the carburetor and the starter cover/airbox.

I'd planned on getting at one of the 510's today,but the other 310jumped in it's way.I pulled the 310 apart & found out a couple things I wasn't expecting - the impulse line was pinched,which tells me that someone was in that saw & wasn't careful putting it back together.The other thing was the recoil pulley is cracked,I know this because when I pull on the rope the pulley is wide at one point & narrow at the other point & it wobbles when I pull on the rope.I had the same thing happen on a 610 last summer.The goodf news is I found a whole recoil assembly on Ebay for $10 & free shipping.Now I need an impulse line,fuel tank,& a coil.I've got my eyeball on the latter two on Ebay.

Sorry, just sold it.

I acquired this saw last year. I was told it has been sitting for years. The throttle is stuck. I am going to need a air filter, air filter cover, and probably a carburetor diaphragm. Any leads on where to get parts and hopefully they won’t cost me a arm and a leg. And what about checking the crank seals for leaks?

Brandon - I have a 35 Flying Goose that is very similar but not exactly what you have. It is fully intact but unknown running condition. I got it in a deal with a SP81 I wanted. I'd be willing to sell it if you want a parts saw. Message me.

Does anyone know the p[art # for the metering spring on a Walbro MDC15 carb?I've been looking all over the web trying to find it,not even Walbro's site has the MDC carb listed.
Ed

 

[vinnywv]

Pt-thanks anyway, bummer.

Edju the 310 with the walbro, spring number in my book is #94764. Thats the mcculloch number. Says its contained in kit# 94774. Hope tbat helps.

[edju1958]

This isn't for the 310 Vinny,it's for my 120.The 310's have a Zama carb,the 120's have the Walbro MDC.I looked on the Walbro site & they no longer have any info on the MDC carbs.
Ed

 

[vinnywv]

My bad, try this. Mcculloch number #68576. Contained in kit 86463. #28 in picture.

 

[vinnywv]

Oopsy, #68567, is the spring. Mustve hit the wrong number 1st time.

 

[edju1958]

Thanks Vinny.It looks like that spring is obsolete,just like the carb itself.I might be able to get a spring from Bob Johnson,he keeps old carbs laying around for parts.I bought a couple throttle return springs for Walbro HDB carbs last summer from him.
Ed

 

[edju1958]

I was just doing some thinking on the MDC carb situation that I have.Rather than just search around forever for a metering spring,I might be better off getting the whole carb.If anyone out there has any Walbro MDC carbs or Zama M1-M7 carbs they'd like to dispose of,I'd gladly take a couple off your hands.

I've got 1 here Ed but I'm sure you'll find 1 a tad closer though
