McCulloch Chain Saws

[edju1958]

Hi Joe,yeah the 10-10 has a "normal" clutch cover that covers the bar studs,they actually stick through the clutch cover & the nuts screw onto them.The chain tensioner is in the clutch cover,so if that part is missing I don't know how he keeps the chain tight.If you could get a pic on here,it'd be much easier to see what you're talking about.

Looks like I need to get back into the carb on the 7-10. Made a new idle speed screw for it. Fired it up, revved it a couple of times just to warm it up, then it started sputtering and died and wouldnt restart. Fuel running out of the muffler. I think the needle stuck open.
I've about had it with this thing! I've put more into this saw than any other saw in my collection, I did it all "right" with all NOS or OE parts and it still refuses to run right! If I didnt have so much in it I would ship it off to someone who might have better luck with it than me.

Oh, and to add insult to injury, I've messed with the idle speed screw so much that now the threads in the airbox are getting sloppy and it wont hold a setting[emoji35]
Maybe I should just put it back on the shelf for another year!

Anyone wanna take a stab at this thing for me? I would gladly pay shipping both ways at this point.

Sounds like you need a known good carb to throw on it n see what happens

 

[edju1958]

Depending on how much you want to spend you could talk to Bob Johnson & see if he'd take it to work on.He might even be able to tell you what's wrong with it too.

Kevin - you are welcome to send it to me, but I will be out of country until April so no need to hurry. Maybe someone else will off assistance in the meanwhile.

Well, I've had enough with chainsaws for this weekend. Did the crank seals in the 1-52, put it back together, now have no spark[emoji35]

Unbelievable. Hell, I can feel the frustration from here, bro.

Would love to take a stab at your 7-10, but if I ended up fixin' it I'd hafta keep it. LOL

I'm on the road and keep getting pop ups that lock me off the site. Let's see if I can get this clutch cover pic up.

Just missing the brake flag is all

Thanks, that makes sense now. I was wondering if the was suppose to have a brake. Now I can see how it works.

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Looks like the other brake parts are all there except the spring

 

[heimannm]

Handle, spring, 8-32 screw, and large O.D. washer...

 

[rarefish383]

Thanks again.

Went ahead and threw an Atom module in there. Back to running. Have to wait till next weekend to cut with it and tune it.
I think I'm about done dealing with points in these old saws. Seems if I even look at them wrong i lose spark.

I'm gonna hold off for now and sleep on it for week but I might just take you up on your offer.
I've resurrected quite a few saws that where far bigger basket cases than this and never had one woop me this good.

Some nice blokes on here. Thanks for the valve Vinny turned up today safe n sound.

Checked my rings up against some 10-10 rings and there definitely thin so do I need to buy some pm700 rings? Or did they have thick ones on some of those too?

Hey hey, glad it made it!
