McCulloch Chain Saws

[heimannm]

Nice McAdditions there Jim, I particularly lust after you 10-10E. I have the 3-10E and 5-10E versions but no 10-10E yet, my friend here in Australia actually bought one for me on the Australian e-bay site, but couldn't get there to pick it up, changed jobs, and let it go.

The D-44 is like owning a flat head V-8, very high performance in it's day and still a nice piece of engineering. I am looking for a few of those diaphragms like the ones used in the 4-30/47/73 saws as I have a few projects waiting right now included a fairly nice 4-30 that came to me just before leaving on this trip.

Duke - there must be a ground wire from the engine block to the frame (tank/handle) portion of that saw for the kill switch to work properly. The anti-vibe components are also great insulators and so prevent the switch from grounding out the primary side of the ignition.

Randy - don't blame all of it on ethanol, the gasoline today is formulated much differently than gasoline of years gone by and as such does not seem to be as stable. The better they get in the refinery process, the closer they can come to the minimum requires specificaitions and as a result the stuff today does not have the shelf life of pump gas from 25 years ago.

Does anyone have a full wrap handle bar that will fit my 650 gear drive? It's not the same as the ones that you see on a super 250 or a 1-50 series saw. The handle on the 650 & 660 gear drive is wider to clear the extra wide clutch cover.

There was one on feebay a while ago. IIRC Bryce was selling it. If it didn't sell, he probably still has it. He doesn't relist stuff when the auctions run out. I think it just goes back into the warehouse. Try contacting him. When he doesn't answer, try contacting him again. He's hit and miss for that. Here's a pic of the full wrap you speak of. It's on my 650. It is wider than the full wrap on my 550 (other saw in the pic). Still barely has enough room to for the clutch cover to clear the bar studs when I remove it however. Second pic is a similar angle with my 550.

Thanks! I'll try and get in touch with him.

i wish it was mine, i google this pic. i did have a chance to buy one for $300 but it was in rough shape and not running. sometimes i think that i should have bought it and attempted a restore.

That could be a big undertaking. I am currently trying to get a old stump grinder back in shape that the previous owners take on maintance was none was better than some:bang:

My first Mcculloch runner

Out of 5 Macs that I have all would run on a prime. Well, I got a carb rebuild kit for the Super 250 and now I have a runner. A little prime to get it going and now it'll start right up and run great. Love the power. Do I get into the super 250 club? Next carb rebuild will be on the 1-86.View attachment 226635View attachment 226634

Help ID this Saw

The guy I bought this from said it was a pro mac 105 but it's not matching up to the IPL. Piston is 2.245 but the cylinder head has a decompression pin similar to the CP 125. Block has no paint so could have been changed out. Body does not match a 105.

Don't believe it is a 105. There will be someone coming along here soon that will let you know with authority. Ron

Frankensaw... 795 parts with a 1-7X series oil tank.

My guess is 795 or 797 from the dap on the tank, but I am sure someone will be along shortly to ID it. What numbers are on the bottom of the motor?

 

[db456]

No numbers on the block. From what I have found, the 2.25 bore was only in the 105's and the MC 75 and MC 100 kart engines. Another oddity is the number on the crank is 58196?

 

[db456]

This was used as some kind of cut off saw. Had a pulley mounted on the clutch. Sludge is tough to get off in some places.

795 based cutoff saw, marketed by target, quickie, others. If you search in this thread you will find a few. I believe mark h has at least two of them. That explains the mismatch oil tank also, as a cutoff would not have come with one.

 

[db456]

But isn't a 795 a 2.21 bore. They have stuck some other block in there?

 

[db456]

Scraped the top of the piston. # 62884 = .30 over 795 Doh!

 

[heimannm]

You have it, 795 bored +0.030 = 2.245"

The compression release like that is only found on the 795, 895, and 797 with the "fixed tank".

The CP125 has a similar type of compression release but a different sort of handle, and the bore is bigger.

A 795 based saw is still pretty nice if you have good compression.
