McCulloch Chain Saws

[promac850]

Vibration, copper work hardens, get brittle and cracks. Copper fuel line is a no-no on most any I.C. engine because a fuel line break can cause fire.

Carl.

Even if it was in a rubber grommet, not cemented into the hole? Is there another type of tubing we could use?

You could use steel tubing such as brake line tubing but I really don't see much wrong with copper tubing on a chainsaw. On a car...NO!

What you need is some sort of steel bulkhead fitting to go in the hole.

Then you could use tygon tubing on both sides.

On the Homelite Super XL series I use tygon and a rubber grommet.

Where do you guys get the tygon? Local Stihl dealership or something like that? I read in a couple of threads that there is one type of tygon that was defective or something from the factory?

I have a lawnmower shop about 3 miles from me that sells it. Most of the Stihl fuel lines anymore are molded lines, they're hard to put tygon lines on but I guess it could be done if you just insisted. I've never bought any bad tygon fuel lines but like everything else, I suppose there is some bad stuff somewhere.

I do know of a lawnmower shop close to me, I'll have to drop by see if they have some, and if they do, grab some tygon for future saw projects.

That is the 850.
The 800 has a 28" bar, with chipper chain. If I keep it, a longer bar is indicated.

Top right corner?
Come on Randy, D or G?

You don't have one?

 

[Teddy.Scout]

You don't have one?

Yes I do,
Love them all! (Except removing the top left hand carb spacer bolts)
Those are a bugger to get to, should have made them a hex head and not a freakin flat head!

All that earlier Super 797 talk caused me to put in a $10.00 bid today; it didn't last long - the bid not the saw. Ron
