McCulloch Chain Saws

[heimannm]

Why don't you run your Super 797 instead of the SP125.
The 797 should have more snot. If running correctly. Lee

In my case, this SP125 is a lot more peppy...

Maybe in the course of the upcoming winter I will be motivated to tear the Super 797 down and see what it really needs.

In a head to head to head trial last spring it was really lagging behind my two SP125's.

I just recentlty got a Super 2-10A from an ebay seller. I made a token bid...............................and unexpectedly won it for peanuts. Overall I'm happy with my purchase, but the saw has a couple issues to resolve. One minor and one a bit more pressing.

#1 is that it's missing the carb needle extensions and hardware for some reason. Can't figure why. I could just plug the two holes and adjust the short needles with a screwdriver with the AF and cover off..........but I'd really like to set the saw up the way it's supposed to be.

The next issue is more of a problem. The DSP valve appears to have seized in the head. The thin steel flange that's staked onto the stem of the DSP valve (that is lifted by the DSP linkage when you push down the thumb button) has broken off of the valve stem. I need to unstick the valve, then either replace it with another valve pin, or stake another washer onto the stem. Now if the DSP valve is indeed stuck in the fully closed possition then I could just leave it as-is and go without the DSP. That's also not the "right" way to deal with it, and my dear wife has claimed the saw and may well be running it at some point. I'd like to have the DSP valve functional on the saw for that reason.

Anybody here have a good useable DSP valve pin for these saws and/or the needle extensions/springs/retaining rings? I've found the extensions on a used parts site (and will probably order them next payday), but no luck on the DSP valve front yet.....

I gotcha buddy. If you can wait until I get off the road I can send that stuff out early next week.

You will see that you may be able to hold the numbers down but you will be looking for trades soon...we can tell from your car addiction, CAD will have you watching CL and going on parts runs at odd hours of the day.

man, I sure hope not.

Thanks a bunch Joey. Much appreciated. No hurry on my end.

Four workhorses idling in 40-Fuel after having the eth laced pump gas drained out. Back to front: Homelite SXL-925W, McCulloch SP-81, McCulloch 650 gear drive, McCulloch PM700. All four did some good work bucking up a large downed oak last week.

sounds good. maybe we should work on seeing how many yellow saws we can vid running at once . i'll work on it. i guess they don't all have to be yellow, but at least be made of mag.

i forgot about that vid, cool. i'll work on it.:msp_wink: this winter when things slow down.

 

[promac850]

Hmm... it'll be a while before I can top Joey's line up. Even if I had two yellow twin cylinder snowmobiles idling along with the Macs...

Give me some time...

2 things I found at a auction this weekend. So I thought it would be a good idea to put them with the Super 250 for a picture, a McCulloch-branded file-n-joint and a McC hard hat.

 

[RandyMac]

Very cool Grizz.

The hardhat and gadget are nice too.

 

[rwoods]

Randy, nothing warms your heart like a Super 250. Maybe I'll run one some day. Ron

 

[watsonr]

Someone tell me about bow bars... was offered several if I want them for a reasonable offer. What do i want to look for?

 

[RandyMac]

The Supers are the last of a long line of hot-rod 87cc McCullochs, you need one Ron.

If you are not too far from Mastermind he had one a few weeks ago.

Same as any other bar plus guards, handles, spikes. Depending on the model.

What do they fit? I can pick up the ones you don't want at Field Days of the Past.

 

[watsonr]

Just told they fit the SP125 mount, which is most Macs of that time. If I can get them at a decent price that is. Gaurds hard to find if they're not on them?

Mr. Bow Saw would be the one to answer that. He is an authority on...uh...bow saws.
