I'll have to source a tank gasket and air filter for it to get it running consistently.
I did clear up the manual oiler button and it pumps oil nicely.

She's in pretty good shape for the age so I'll probably put it away till parts are assembled for some run time.
Ironically I was reading Mark's flat back carburetor primer repair , and thought " well thats just silly ,how many of those stupid things can be out there? Why bother" haha jokes on me.

put a little degreaser in there and a small brush.
I took the recoil off the PM55 to have a look at the oiler rod & all seems to be lined up properly.I sprayed some Deep Creep lube around the manual oiler where the rod goes in & on the oiler button,all to no avail.It pumps oil perfectly,but won't return the oiler button.I'm thinking of swapping out the oiler rod.
I know a man who hooked me up with a tank gasket, it's still uninstalled so I could scan it and send the file over to you if you wanted.
on my 10-10, there is a plastic piston and spring that the plunger rod actuates. the spring pushes the rod and plunger back out. maybe a bad spring or no spring?
Patience grasshopper, McRome wasn't built in a day lol! Apparently McHalla is going to take 40 days, nights, weekends, overtime, and over budget!
I'm well aware of the components of the manual oiler,fairly simple actually.It has the spring & the cap on it.I'll pull the tank later today to see if I can figure out why it's sticking.It worked fine when I tested it before I put ther tank on.
Could of spelt it right atleastI loved my last McCullough, held down the ice hut and made a great drift anchor for the canoe,
Could have...
There was some talk here back a couple of pages ago about vacuums.Electrolux was referred to as a lux.Just thought that I'd mention that Electrolux is the parent company of Husqvarna.Yes,those chainsaws came from a vacuum cleaner company.
That also now owns the European division of McCulloch and the North American market.

that also started out as a maker of canons for the King of Sweden centuries ago.
The word "Husqvarna" means something like "elite",or "from royalty".
I have fuel tank gaskets, 10 Series and large frame saws...just so you know.
RTV is not a good fuel tank sealant, it will leak sooner rather than later. For the 10 Series saws buy one of the Viton tank gaskets, I've found them to be 100% effective.

Husqvarna has been spun off from Electrolux for several years, they are a stand alone company today, Husqvarna Outdoor Power Equipment or something like that.
Brands including Husqvarna, Jonsered, Poulan and WeedEater will be fully separated from the company by 2006.
