McCulloch Chain Saws

[Brian13]

This is a recoil cover I fixed up for my SP81. I polished the center and painted the rest black and then clearcoated it to keep the polished area from corroding.

That looks really good!!! Better than factory

Gentlemen and Aaron, oh and that kid

The time has come, the shelves are full, too many projects.
Time to do some clearing out.
Time for another PBR.

You never have to many projects, just not enough time and money.

And now the stampede of "dibs", PM's...........and the roar of an old diesel Ford headed up to CC shall begin. Have I told you that I like big old McCullochs???

Yup, my belly and benches are full, too.

Liquidations may be imminent, further bulletins as events warrant.

No PMs, I speak BTHP...

Yep. I've started selling, trading, and giving away saws, parts, and projects lately. More will go soon. Cutting loose what doesn't 'fit' my collection. Trying to recoup some badly needed space, and gather a little parts $$$. Sold the 031AV that I've had for 24 years! That means the only creamsicle left in the stable is your favorite model Charles! Did you get what I sent you yesterday?

Oh.....................and what's "BTHP"???

Breakfast today was beer and pizza. The transition to being a daylight person is fun.

No big inch saws on the to go list, 80cc or smaller.
Maybe that PM800, don't know yet, it's a bit too new for me.
The owner is a Fed, about to be a laid-off Fed, I'm buying it so he can stay fed.

I'll be the first to dib the best 70cc 10 Series you got...:msp_love:

250 clutch cover, lower rear handle, felling spike, and a old 24" hard nose 63 gauge bar. PM me

Man times are tough Randy. It's good that you're able to help him. I'm sure you'll be able to 'flip' that PM800 if you don't want to keep it without much trouble here.

Yeah, there's a hole in my stable for one of 'em as well. Same for an SP81. I believe somebody just got a couple of 'box case' SP81's.....opcorn:opcorn:opcorn:

Sure, but it comes attached to a 250.

You might just grow to like that PM800 to keep the bushes trimmed. I am expecting another one to arrive tomorrow. Ron

I have a Homelite for that.

 

[promac850]

So, should I prep the gasket area for rtv and put it together? Or is a little resistance at the top gonna be a problem?

Uh, help please? :msp_blink:

 

[Eccentric]

Well played sir. Didn't you have a pic of you running an XL12 powered brushcutter? I seem to remember seeing it on HoH years ago...opcorn:

 

[Brian13]

If you are getting resistance then I would try to figure out what it is. It should be smooth all the way through.

 

[Ambull]

Chain guides? Are you talking about the ones that go on each side of the bar, or some other kind?

Yeah that would be the guides.

 

[willysmn]

tight piston

You don't somehow have a tapered cylinder that is contributing to the bind? If the piston moves freely w/o the rings, the rings must have something to do withthe bind, but it coud be how they fit in the cyl.

 

[promac850]

Yeah that would be the guides.

How could they be hard to get on? I thought you just have to line up the holes and slide it on, then put the bar on, followed by the outside guide piece. I never heard of it being hard to put guides on, pics would show me why it would be so.

I am quite sure the cylinder isn't tapered, as the piston moved freely w/out the rings. Do the rings have to be installed a certain way? I did not see any markings dictating a top side of the ring. I guess I will look and see if there happens to be some more crap in the grooves, though I doubt there is. The rings fit perfectly on the piston, the ends are equally spaced from the locating pins.
