McCulloch Chain Saws

[struggle]

paccity - I just stopped breathing for a second...hope that last shop works out for you, a very nice find indeed.

Struggle - If the manual oiler works but the auto does not, about the only possibility is the piston in the auto oiler. Go ahead and take the cover off the oil tank, take the auto oiler out and work the piston manually. You should be able to sort out which is the inlet and which is the outlet by matching it up with the tank, then put a little light weight oil in the inlet side and work the piston again, you should see it move down the inlet side and come out the outlet side.

Thanks for the info Mark.

Also the recoil spring will wind up but then after several pulls it sprung free. Will have to look futher into that. The spring looked but maybe I missed it being cracked soemwhere. It sounded like the pawls let it go free though.

Pacity you are to late on that old saw shop. Mark probably already bought the BP1 five minutes after you posted that picture. He knows people:msp_sneaky::msp_biggrin:

No kidding, me too.......If they have any KMS-4's or 166's laying around, snag one for me.........Good luck Paccity.

Putting a BP-1 under glass will get attention...

I am pretty sure he has an underground network that would baffle most:msp_biggrin:

Remember he is well traveled the world around:msp_smile:

Even to find a place like that in itself is very cool let alone to go back there. I am sure everyone is hopeing something good comes from it.

I am willing to bet the guy very well knows what he has:msp_biggrin:

You didn't need to.

One of Mark's minions has already planted a GPS chip on yout truck. :jester:

Mark is the Bourne Identiy of chainsaw hunting. Try as you may the asset will not be able to catch him.

He knows things we just don't grasp:taped:

Wife just got home from Mpls and as she is unloaded the car, I hear a very loud "Oh My God" from the garage.

I guess I didn't do a very good job of hiding my new saw. :msp_sad:

 

[Eccentric]

That looks really nice. If everyone keeps this up I am going to have to find one:msp_sneaky:

On another note I put a huge 16" bar and some terriblly shot chain on the PM700 and it will not oil in cut at all.

The auto feature is it in anyway connected to the manul side of the oiler system?

Also in the cut with out hearing protection wow does the frequency of that saw put the hurt on the ears:msp_scared:

Follow Mark's advice on the oiler. He has those systems DOWN. The two systems are indeed connected. The manual pump pushes oil through the auto oiler pump on it's way to the bar pad.

10-series Macs just have that ear piercing quality for some reason. To my ear, they get less obnoxious as they go up in displacement. The 54cc saws are the worst. The 70cc saws are more 'throaty', and the 82cc saws are just about completely free of the painful quality. Who knows why....

well today went well . nothing cherry but like tom peterson used to say. only the locals will get it.:msp_wink: this is the mac haul . the iceing on the cake i'll post in the twoman thread. since it's not yellow.

jogging shop fresh.

Crikey Fraser. You got MORE 82cc McCullochs and parts??? The GPS thing is a damn good idea. Don't mind me loitering around your truck....

Thanks for the info Mark.

The spring often 'slips'. The outer end of the spring (that fits into the flywheel cover) stays put usually (unless the end breaks off......then you need to heat and bend the end). BTDT. The inner end just hooks against a flat on the pully. Not very secure at all. I don't know why McCulloch didn't design the pully hub with a slot for the spring end to lock into. Other saws have that. Anywho, you may need to alter the bend of this end of the spring. I've had to change the angle of the very end of it, and tweak the last 1/2" or so of spring before the end so that it pressed harder against the pully hub flat.

Did you hang it from the rafters like I suggested Steve? You may be sleeping out there with your new saw for a spell....

and a old saw shop i have a date with in the near future.

WOW, nice shop!! I spy an 041G, Homelite 540/8800, The BP-1, some Mac gear drives and a future visit for you! That shop has got the be loaded with parts and old bars and miles of chain and...... ops, I think I just had an accident!

I noticed you took great care not to post a picture of the sign out front or get a reflection of one... good man!

What you describe on the spring is what is happening. I will have to adjust it. I now know why the guy put it to the side if it does that everytime you go to start it.

Saw at work

Hi guys, haven't posted here in almost a year, but I keep up with the banter each week, or so. I wanted to share a couple of pics. If I can figure out the process.
Hazard tree in my own backyard, so I broke out the S250.

and a old saw shop i have a date with in the near future.

I know where that shop is Only in Oregon will you see those saws in a window. There's an old saw shop near me that has been closed down for 6 years used to service all the mills round here....but it's full of dark orange saws..Puke!! let the dusk collect

Mumms the word I'll never tell. I drink PBR

 

[Overtrained]

Not sure which retired shop would be more fun to go through, that saw shop or a old automotive speed shop.......that would be tough to decide if having to pick only one

 

[heimannm]

dieselsmoke - Love the old Ollie, I'm only 40 miles or so from Charles City where they originated...say, did I ever send you the CD I promised? I still have one on the work bench at home with your name on it but I don't remember it is was a duplicate or if I slipped up.

Nice job on the tree as well, should have been a lot of fun making the chips fly with the Super.

Mark

 

[cpr]

Not tough at all: saw shop. The speed shop closed cuz the "speed" is all gone!

Hi Guys

Hi Mark, and fellow mac heads, thanks, I DID recieve a disk from you. Many thanks, I have used it many times. Now I am working a 3-25, It runs, but only with fuel spritzed into the carb. So I have the carb apart, it's definitely designed in the 50's. Does the fuel pump diaphragm move up and down only .030" or less? It looks like the movement is restricted by the metal clip in the bottom of the fuel bowl. I can't yet get the bottom screw, and round thing out or apart to see if mine is balled up with crud. So is mine screwed up or is that small up and down movement enough to pump fuel? I will have to get a new diaphragm, I can see daylight thru it in places.
The tractor pic is a teaser, trying to get a rise out of Aaron, the die-hard IHC fan that he is.
