McCulloch Chain Saws

[heimannm]

It obviously needs a much larger sprocket.

I have a 9 pin that I got from Bill G, just haven't taken the time yet to put it together that way.

I'll bite. What on earth is that? I've never heard of one.

Either you have found a rare, unheard of model or you are pretty good with some photo editing software.

I couldn't photoshop something even if I wanted too. This is a genuine Mc Culloch saw... and it's not the first one I've seen (just building up curiosity here...hehe)

 

[belgian]

OK, I'll give you one more pic....

That's a nice looking saw, but I still have never heard of it. What is the displacement?

Well, I'm still trying to find out as I got her this evening. Apparently, Mc Culloch launched a few models for export only, but this is an assumption at this point of my part. I am waiting for some input in the collectors forum to finally ID this saw. Going by the looks of it (carb cover, flatback Mac Carb, kill switch, bar size) it really looks identical to the Super 250, which I think it is. I mentioned a few models, as I have seen myself also at least one 595, but could not get more details of it, yet. The 395 has been spotted a few times on local CL in belgium and France, so there are more. It should be a european thing, but the tag is mentioning LA, so that is pretty weird. Most Macs sold in Europe had the Mc Culloch of Belgium tag on them.

The serial number of this one is 5015. Maybe someone with microfices at hand can confirm the type.

That's cool. I noticed that it had the holes in the air filter cover like a super 250.

Mac 15

Hi Fellas
I know this is the wrong place to put this, and I should know better. Would any of you McCulloch guy's have a service manual for the Mac 15?
Many Thanks
Lawrence

Broke out the PM 650 for the first time today...

Everything seems good, bar bolt repair seems solid with no oil leak.

However, After I ran it for awhile the recoil didn't want to engage and when I popped it off the starter sprawls were very sticky. I moved them a few times back and forth and the freed up and I was able to start again. The cord went back in pretty slow after that. I don't have a users manual. Am I supposed to be lubing the sprawls or something?

:dunno:

:help: Bump :help:

 

[briantutt]

Is it safe to assume that if the saw is reving up good in the cut but the chain is stopping (still reved up) that the clutch is toast? Just started using the PM 650 after it sat for 10 or so years. Problems keep popping up, this is the latest...

:help:Bump:help:

Are you guys at REAL jobs or something

 

[Biker Dude]

Hey Brian,
If the saw is revving up but the chain isn't spinning I would say the clutch is probably weak. New clutches are dime a dozen on feebay though so no worries there. As for your starter pawls, probably just some old bar oil mixed with sawdust got into the pivot points. Clean them up good and maybe sprinkle a little powdered graphite in there to lube the pivots. Resurrecting an old saw is just like resurrecting an old bike, they just need a little shake down time to work all the bugs out.

Thanks for the confirmation. I agree, after ressurecting the 70E and 1073 it took a few hours of run time to get them debugged...

 

[breymeyerfam]

any you mac guys got a pro mac 10-10 coil layin around somewhere??? I need one.

 

[heimannm]

Roland, that's just not nice teasing us like that.

Can you check the stroke? My guess is 1.5" and 87cc most likely, based on either a Super 250 or perhaps the 380 (like a Super 380?).

Very curious indeed.

Come on guys, somebody out there has to have a better idea of the details on the 395.

By the way, the 660's I got from Bob last week also have those extra holes in the air filter cover.

It looks like the cooling fins are pretty well clogged. Wonder if the heat killed the coil? I have seen a couple of Macs, so far in my limited Mac experience, where the paint on the cooling fins has started to turn a light brown color from getting toasty.

 

[alpinecrick]

Wow. That's great to find a saw like that--I've never heard of a 395 either.

Yes sir. I did some more research as requested and this is the result :

bore : 54 mm
stroke : 38 mm or 1,5" as good as I could.

this makes it a 5,3 ci or 87 cc saw, good guess Mark !
She's identical to my super 250 I have, in all details, so I conclude that this is an earlier or later version of the 250S, sold in europe. By the cc, it also could have been a 380, but the 380 seems to have a slightly different muffler, and so far I have no evidence that the 380 was sold in Belgium (never seen one), therefor I rule this one out for the time being.

Notice also that my 250S has no numbers at all stamped on the stuffer...

She runs like a charm though, starts real good. The only thing she needs is a new sprocket and spikes.
