Back to the little 3516..... still not been able to get it in a log but have cold started it several times and it is consistently going on one pull with the choke then fires on the second pull without the choke. Will make someone who doesn’t cut that much a decent little saw.

Now I need a 36" bar for the Remington

Any venison with that repair??.
Happy Thanksgiving, All.
I thought you are probably tried of me cutting with the PM800 so I thought I would repair my SP40 that I have only test run since purchase. It has been several years, I bent the throttle rod on a reinstall and the throttle would not open all the way. Today, I straightened it to be roughly the same as an NOS rod I purchased off eBay. I spent a good hour trying to reinstall it. Still wouldn't open to full throttle. So I the new one on it (same length but different end on the carb side). New one was only slightly easier to install. But it doesn't open the throttle fully either. Maybe it doesn't matter that much.
Wide open at full trigger:
Wide open to stop.
I just gave up and decided to cut with it as is:
Recoil broke trying to started it:
Another battle for another day.

Days like that....i walk away and do something else.
No 10 10 condensers or air filters or duckbills by me ☹ looks like someone probly bought all the good stuff
That dirty bum! Lol
Yea i was shocked they didn't have any filters for the 610/650 saws.
SP40 woes continue ...
I "fixed" the recoil by stringing two 5/16" hose clamps together and tightening them down around the plastic cup. I was surprised that the two small clamps cost $4.15 at NAPA. I need to get out more. I digress too much. The fix works fine. But I have a significant fuel leak in the tank area. Any common issue in this area that I should check?
BTW it runs but is not quite the screamer I remember my PM510 to have been even when forcing the throttle to the stop. The carb is a fixed jet.

Id bet on a tank seem leak. It is the same tank as a mini mac. The 515 i got had a leak and it was the seam. Thats why i say that. Could also be the small barb on the tank outlet. The sp40, 510, 515 are the same saw really.
would you by chance have a parts break down for i-70 or have any extra parts i could buy?
Would MacAttack's fix work? https://www.arboristsite.com/threads/mcculloch-mini-and-small-cc-chainsaws.218770/page-61
Nice saw man. Roller starter too. Its hard to pick the 850 up over the 81 its such a light saw for its age and cc
Put a few tanks through mine a couple days ago.
Stuffed in the back of the lil zook
Still starting terribly must get to it. Points n plug
No doubt that it would. My damage was much less severe; the hose clamps work so far.
Is there a repair, or do you replace them?
Ron
Well, when my uncle came up for Thanksgiving he left a few gifts! The little guy on the far left was bought new by my grandpa in the 70's, my dad used it around the house for awhile, and it has languished in my uncle's garage ever since. He wants me to completely restore the saw, sand blast it, powder coat it, the works. Not pictured are its case and an Eager Beaver 2.0 I'm also supposed to fix.
I'd be leaving that saw just as grandpa left it.
