McCulloch Chain Saws

[Rotax Steve]

On another topic, I found a running Super Pro 81e on Marketplace for $150. They're almost a 2 hour drive away but if it's a good deal it should be worth it. He's very vague in his description. I don't have any knowledge of that model saw? I appreciate any suggestions or questions that I should ask the guy. Thanks.

Look at the opening at the bottom of the air box, and both sides of your spacer. There are definitely two different patterns that match the two different gaskets.

I think you will find a paper/fiber gasket is more practical in this application, they do not tend to compress over time and are easier to remove and reinstall. The cork/rubber gaskets are better suited to surfaces with more surface area and where the parts meeting may not be completely flat.

Jeff Fox and Brian Genrich are already making the carburetor/spacer gaskets, as well as many different vendors on eBay if you don't want to go to the trouble of making them yourself.

Bought an aftermarket carb kit for my power mac 6. I realized the diaphragm doesnt have the metal disc on it like oem or quite frankly like any walbro ive worked on. I checked the listing i bought from and it shows no disc. Will this work without the disc?

What about thickness? When the IPL called one a carburetor spacer I got the impression it would be thicker. Thanks

The IPL refers to both gaskets as gaskets, one as “Gasket - Carburetor” (#34) which goes between the carb and the black spacer, and the other as “Gasket - Spacer” (#37) which goes between the black spacer and mounting flange on the fuel tank/air box. Both gaskets are the same thickness to my knowledge. The spacer is still sitting on the air box in your 4th photo.
