McCulloch Chain Saws

[Dennis Gauge]

The 10-series fuel lines I got were extremely stiff, almost hard like plastic.

I ended up using a model airplane heat gun (somewhere between a hair dryer and a paint stripping heat gun in heat output) to soften the fuel line so it would slip through the hole in the tank top. Once it cooled down it returned to its original shape and sealed in there beautifully.

I also had to heat the end of the line to slip it over the nipple on the carburetor. Again, when it cooled it attempted to return to its original shape and pulled down nice and tight.

The lines seem to soften a little bit in the presence of fuel, which has me worried... How long before they turn to complete mush?

Yeah, I am wondering about how it softens up so much... we'll find out how reliable it really is if my pops ever orders that load of logs...

Cause the nearest husky dealer is farther away than the creamsickle dealer, and also, they still have to get an inventory going and such, as they just started selling Husky saws a couple of months ago...

So, to make a long story short, they (Husky dealer) don't got no filters yet, and I don't want to drive that far for a filter.

Comprende? Here's your cigar too...

I don't comprende. Who said it had to come from a Husky dealer?

Well, it was a last minute gotta have thing, so that's another reason I went to the creamsickle dealer...

Long story:

I was trying to see why the fuel line on the 610 wasn't all the way into the bottom of the tank... well found the line was not routed exactly where it needed to go. While I was moving some choke levers and ####, the fuel filter fell off into the tank full of gas... :bang: So I said #### it and got the tiny 60cc powerhead rated orange filter off of the 850, and got the 610 tuned and running great.

So then I headed on down to the creamsickle dealer to get a new filter... this one is massive compared to the one that I had on the line previously... this one on there now is rated for 80cc and above...

That right there is another reason I ran off with the creamsickle filter... it was the right size so that it won't let the beast lean out and blow up on me from fuel starvation.

Comprende now? Actually comprede is optional... as I am simply a shop monkey around here...

Nice to hear that saw running Shane, hope you manage to get the oiler and fuel tank issues all corrected in the end.

Now find a big bar for that bad boy and put it in some wood.

I am looking for a 36+ bar any one have one laying around with some chain to boot. Would like to find a sprocket nose.

I have dead presidents or a couple of smaller saws to trade

Yah, quite nice. Nearly as nice as your new avatar, ProMac .... :hmm3grin2orange:

Appears someone is trying to win an all expense paid trip to camp. :hmm3grin2orange:

Glad to hear that saw running, Shane! Good work!!

So that was your bid that came in after my clock showed zero. Good snag. :msp_thumbup: If you don't count the shipping, I can't buy the chain for our bids. Ron:msp_thumbup:

I bought some other stuff from him and combined the shipping, so I did really well last night. I am quickly getting into Mr. Dougan's top ten customer list, lol.

Some recent acqusitions....

Mac 1-70 from Randy, it's a runner. Pretty darn nice shape, pulls that bar well.

A 380, it's clean, great compression and spark. Needs a carb kit, definitly a runner in time.

7-10A from Jon, runner. The saw was well used, but still runs nice.

What do we have here? It's a Super 550! Runs excellent. Thanks Chris


Thanks to all the guys for hooking me up with these.

Mark is certainly successful in his yellow adventures. In my experiences with him he deserves everything good that comes his way.

Stopped by the local cream sickle dealer down the street yesterday and started talking to one of the main repair guys about a 3/8 sprocket for the 250 he took some measurements and said he'd call me today. About 8 am this morning he called and said that he thought he found one that might work. On my way home i stopped by and its a brand new old stock Oregon clutch drum and replaceable sprocket still in the box, we had to find a different set of bearings for it luckily he had one in the back that worked. Ended up its a sprocket for a old homie, (he tried to find any old mac parts or saws for me but unfortunately nothing) so i brought it home and put it on now all i got to do is stop by the place where i buy my 3/8 skip chain as the creamy dealer is to high and get a couple of loops made up for that 31" bar put it in some wood and watch the chips fall. i would take a video but i don't own a video camera so ill have to take some stills for all yall instead.

Oh, you got that one? I wanted that one, too but I'll be content with the 52 that went over earlier in the week. It'll go great with my 101 that came today.

 

[Brian13]

Finely got your 101? Cant wait to see that project.
