McCulloch Mini and Small CC Chainsaw's

[ChainLightning]

Ohh no Dennis, I bought a Pro Mac 10-10 today :msp_scared:. Just gotta pick it up. Could not beat $25 and a brand new chain. Supposedly running...I know how that goes :msp_biggrin:. After getting rid of my 10-10s Pro Mac, I figured that I needed to try out one of these 10-10s in the woods. After I get it I will set down the XL-12 and see how this one does. Both 54cc. the guy also had a 2-10 also.

2-10 has the Bullfrog carburetor, be ready to learn something new if you get one of those.

Lee - the 510 = SP40, Mini Mac with a carburetor you can remove without dismantling the saw. I like mine for up in the tree or bucket.

Ahh the 510, sorry I over looked that. I still need a carb kit for my SP40.....im going on vacation tomorrow so my mind has been elsewhere. Looking forward to wasting away in margaritaville

My SP40 has a Tillotson HU carburetor, kit was very easy to locate.

I am not sure what is in the PM510, haven't even looked inside that one.

I just hope it is not a Walbro WT, they constantly give me nothing but grief!

I think my SP40 has a Zama carb, whats with all the different carbs?!

 

[heimannm]

Price & availability...sometimes as a manufacturer you have to have some flexibility in your design to insure you can continue to deliver the goods even when one vendor or another cannot keep up with the demand or decides their goods are made of gold.

I have had good luck with most carbs except for the new made in china Zama's. Have had good luck with the older Zama's tho. I wanted to tell you that I came a cross a older (with no brake, no it was not busted off :msp_wink Mini Mac 35. It was complete and ran good! Had like 95% of the paint left on it and did not have a speck of dirt. I would not give the guy what he was asking tho. $20 was a little steep for me.

Behind the two Mini's is a 7-19c Homelite... too many projects!

not sure if it matters but one is a mini and the other is a 310 or variant.

 

[barneyrb]

Nope, the throttle wire housing was broke and it was not opening the carb up. I had about a dozen of these so it was almost easy to repair...as easy as it gets on one of these...

new rings, crank bearings, seals, rebuilt carb, new points/condensor, a few screws here and there and she's a runner. a friend had me go over it for his dad. was a freeby when he bought 2 850's and 2 700's back in the mid 80's. the old man really loved the little saw. sat for about 18-19 years in the back of a dirt floor shed (on the floor) getting burried in the corner. had to find another piston for it as the old one was scored pretty bad. the cylinder was fine, but like all of these closed port versions, the ports are very sharp with no beveling. putting a bevel on them really helps them live longer.

does your saw have where you live on it?

i love how the oil streaks look like scoring over the top ring:

the gasket on the right is for a 310. makes a good template for the engine to manifold gasket. just need to match the port shape as they are diffetent:

gap the points to .017 and close her up.
add the new clutch, drum, bar and chain and she's ready for pruning duty once again.
oh, and recoil spring and pull cord.
oh yeah a new air filter also. sheesh!

Black and decker via canada.....ehhhh? Haven't seen that before. Did it fire right up after the rebuild? Post a vid of some wood cutting, the big boys in the grown up MAC thread are getting anxious that the mini's are taking over

 

[brokenbudget]

no vids of it but it took about 6 pulls to fire, the carb was pretty close but the low was a little lean. ran it for a half hour to make sure i got some heat through it. runs good. going to take it back over some time today.
