I really like mine, especially with a muffler mod. They are strong and fairly powerful for 32cc. I checked at chainsawr.com but he's out of stock. They do come up on the big Internet auction site from time to time. Maybe search on MC-9228-310002.
 
I loaned out my 3200, and it came back with a stripped out oil tank neck. Took me 3 years to find another tank, but the saw started on the 3rd pull. If you have the IPL that came with the saw run the part number for the oil tank in google.. every day. Sooner or later somebody gets rid of one. My part number is MC-300260, but I found different years had different numbers. You also might have better luck searching for a different model like 3216 or 3516. They use the same tank.

edit: The actually have one on ebay.. a little expensive, but here you go..

That's quite a set of lungs ya got there.
 
I have a short stack of 3200 McCulloch saws I'd like to get rid of. If 67L36Driver will act as the go between I can drop a couple off on Sunday as I pass through St. Joe.

Heads up Carl, I am going to be in the neighborhood Sunday! Anything else I might have you'd like me to bring along? I still have a few odd ball clutch drums and sprockets for gear drives I'll thow in in case you seen something useful. I think the rest of the Remington stuff is gone already.

Mark:

Drop the short stack here. We should be here Sunday, most all day unless Blondie tells me different.

Out 35th annav. is Monday, but nothing planned............................................yet. Nobody tells me nothing.

Only Remington parts I'd like to locate is a serviceable PL-5 piston, muffler and a crank for a GL-7. I've burned thru my Remy phase and am now tinkering with Poulans and Pioneers.
 
My oiler issues (3516)

I was able to 'plastic weld' my tank with a Harbor Freight plastic welding kit. Replaced the oil line, checked the oil pump (turns with crankshaft, the plastic gear is tight on the oil pump shaft), cleaned it out, but no oil (well, if I hold it with the oiler down while running, it will start to drip out, but not when horizontal). Do the lines need to be primed? Wouldn't seem like it, as if you run out of oil, the saw won't prime...

Doesn't seem that complicated, all the lines are clear, but no oil... I'd hate to give up on this saw:mad2:

If I remember right, there is a spring on the crank that bears against the wormgear that drives the oil pump. If it slips too much, you get no oil. And, try 30 weight.

They normally oil like the Exxon Valdes..........................................................YIKES!
 
I have a 3214 and use regular bar oil in it without any problems. I got it from a guy that said it had been sitting for about 15 years or more. Replaced all fuel lines, primer and oil lines, gave it a good bath while I had it tore apart. looks and runs like a new saw. Still has the logo on the bar. Guy said he may have used it 4 times. Great little trim saw. The first thing he had done was to get rid of the home owners chain. It will throw the chips.

Yes it will - give it a muffler mod, it woke mine up considerably. I really want to play with one of the 38cc versions with A/V. Quad open transfers......

Yes... MM is a must... Listen to the saw in this vid...Cause you can't see anything. It's my son cutting some shooting lanes... I was up on the platform of the shooting house.
He's using the 3200... I like it cause it fits in the basket on the front of the 4 wheeler...
Vibrates like a banshee though...

Here's the modified muffler I did on mine:

I tossed the spark screen too.

Little pup sounds way bigger than he is.:laugh:

I have two 2014's and modified the muffler in very much the same way. One of them I got from a friend who cleared a lot of brush and small trees with it. Still pumps 140. Use the primer pump and quick with the choke rod and it will start first pull from dead cold.
