McCulloch Chain Saws

Thanks!

Just finished making up some new McCulloch Gaskets for 795, 797, and 895 Chainsaws. The insulator (Fold-over) gasket has been improved for better fit with scored bends so the gasket fits snugly against the insulator during installation.

3516 went back to the wood pile today. It's back to being steady and dependable for the most part. Occasionally wants to die if idled too long so maybe a touch more fine tuning. Closing the bar rails with the vise seems to have been a decent redneck fix. No more boat wood! I do plan on purchasing a pinch roller eventually. Still considering removing a muffler baffle as it just feels kinda wimpy. Great for smaller stuff tho.

First startup and run of my Pro Mac 10-10 was a whomping success. Starts, idles and runs absolutely perfect.

My only observation is the fuel tank gasket seems to weep a little gas....i may be getting a quart of Red Coat in the near future.

If it has been setting empty for a while, leave it sitting with fuel for a few days, sometime the cork gaskets will dry out while empty and swell up again once you add fuel.

Not a guarantee...

Got my PM570 running right again thanks to @Rallyeguy . I put in new crank seals and a molded fuel line and it was running absolutely mint. Put the 28" skip back on it and fed it some 26" rounds of fir and other than being a 57cc saw it certainly did not complain at all

I'd estimate this saw has been sitting empty for about 30 years haha. Thanks for the tip, I'll watch and see if it seals up.

I'd replace the gasket. Probably around $15 to your door.

I make the cork. Works like the factory intended.... No sealant necessary unless you have significant corrosion where it seats..

Here is a build I'm working on currently. McCulloch Mc-92 with some parts from a vintage built saw I acquired 3-4 years ago. Waiting on the GEM box muffler to get here but I couldn't wait to run it. Here I am testing it in wood for the first time learning the bdc carburetor. Found a chain adjuster from a mac15 and modified it to work. Also pictured is the old chain guard that was originally on the saw years ago, i found a new reproduction guard for a briggs flathead since that's what the old one was and modified it to fit. I couldn't forget the "lucky" sticker the original one had also.
Hope yall enjoy

It certainly looks good, chain appears to have had some work done on it as well. Bring it along when you come and we'll run it side by side with my MAC40 and 101 saw.

Id love to Mark. The saw originally looked like this year's ago. The chain was original to the build and i have since only touched the cutters up. The rakers are only .070-.080 below the tooth 3/8 chain

Do you guys think both of these sprockets are shot?

 

[vinnywv]

They will still turn a chain however they are worn out to me. What will happen is the drive links are going to start biting.into the drum hub.
