McCulloch Chain Saws

[ELECT6845]

Super 797 info

Anyone know about them? What are they worth? It runs awesome but has some paint chipping. 36" bar and chain.

Desireable, but not as much as a regular 797. Probably not a saw you want to run all day, every day but a great piece for occasional use, GTG's, etc.

For $100 I wouldn't even think twice, get it.

For $300, think pretty hard...

Bp-1

I've been watching that BP-1 on fleabay but I won't be bidding because I'm already invested in the one I have. The price is now $670.00 with three bidders.

I'm sure many members are keeping an eye on this once since it must be considered the holy grail for Mac collectors. There can't be that many of them that survived the recall, therefore scarcity increases the value. Like the rest of you, I too will be curious to see what that gem goes for.

I made the first bid on that BP-1 just so I could say that I was high bidder for a while.

They suck.

How much?

Just another day in the shop...

OK, OK, there are some exceptions and then there are we mere mortal men, we bow in your presence.

Mark just told me that in his most recent picture (above) the BP-1 to the left of the 399, is the saw which I got from mweba.

The Supers always bring in more dollars than the regular 797.
There have been a couple non runners that fetched a pretty
penny in the past few months.

Hey, you guys were discussing how the 10-series fuel lines do not fit and will leak. I have also had success with the Teflon fix.

But, I'd like to share another fix that I've had success with. Use a zip tie to keep the line pulled against the inside of the tank. Shown in these two pics is a loose fuel line that I pulled toward the airbox and used a zip tie to keep it pulled tight. Seems to work so far, this tank has sat full of fuel for about a week.

Heres the two BP-1's i own one is the lowest serial number i know of and the other the highest 0451 and 8195

Both saw are runners and now complete the first 0451 i got from Alabama and the second from Placerville

Noticed there was some slack. I put the Teflon tape on. It was tighter but still moved. Gonna try the zip tie. Thanks for the tip

You'll notice a small rib on the fuel line. Try to find a small enough zip tie that will fit between the rib and the wall of the tank. I had one if those assortment packs that luckily had the small black ones.

If it works for a while, let us know. If not, let us know. I'll do the same for mine, so we can recommend this mod or not.

Joey.

I got 3 mccullochs... 1-80 (heavy thing but sounds awesome), 3-10 (strong runner), and a pro mac 850 (not running yet and it needs a carb kit bad). The 1-80 I got from my grandfather and I've done a lot to it to get it running but its a nice looking saw for its age.

 

[Macman125]

You snatched it out from under me. I hate you lol. I was checking it out on cl. Awesome buy For the price.

I was referring to ELECT6845 in my earlier post asking of the super 797.

I 'fixed' my SP-81 line using the teflon tape trick last year. Was trial and error. Had to put somewhere around 15-20 wraps around it to get a good seal. This was with a new aftermarket line. That fix is still holding, but the tank now weeps at the seam (at the front) after fuel's been in it for about 3-4 hours. Haven't decided on a course of action for that one yet.

Yesterday I sealed my 7-10A tank using Threebond 1194 on the existing cork gasket (intact, but "squished") after cleaning it real well with alcohol and letting it dry. Also cleaned the fuel line OD and the pass through in the tank...........and then sealed that with 1194 as the line was a leaker and rotated easily. Will fuel it tomorrow. Hope it holds....

OK fellas i need some advice. I picked up a CP125s last weekend. I got it with a 24'' hardnose mac bar. I want to get a 42''+ on it but dont know much anbout the Mac bar options. Do any other factory bars fit on these macs? I was going to adapt my large mount stihl bars but they are quite a bit off and the oil ports will need some major reworking (which i really dont want to do) I found a great deal on a 42'' hardnose mac bar but i think roller nose or sprocket is the way to go in that length. anybody have and bars they would like to sell or know where i can buy new? thanks guys.

The old Homelite bars work, I have a 46" overall length homie mount bar and it measures out to 41 and a half cut on the 125. I have a large Poulan mount 36" bar that I want to try after I take it off my 8500, looks like it may mount up. I have 2 32 inch mac bars and another 36 inch homie roller nose.

 

[jeepyfz450]

thanks for the information. Probably best bet will be NOS bars if i can find any.
