McCulloch Titan 50 57 lines

Last Elbow

I am ready to mate the halves now but I am confused where the last elbow fitting goes? I have all of the tank seal ones in and there is one left over. Does anyone have a picture that shows it in the proper place?

It doesn't go on the pulse line according to Mark's photos...

Just looked at IPL hoping. It looks like it goes in the fuel tank vent line???

 

[briantutt]

Triple posting!

I made the vent look like the ipl but now i have a question about the black wires. Does the one from the coil follow the plug wire up and over or does it sneak through the little open in the lower left corner of the plastic shield? if it goes down there then i have to pull that shield off or snip the end off the wire.

Fuel & Oil Lines with Labels

Here is a labeled photo for future reference. After a lot of dorking around this appears to match the IPL and fits nicely.

It's Alive!!!

Amazingly this saw came to me in a big pile of parts in a box and I got it all back together with your help...not one bolt or anything missing. Went outside put the bar and chain on (which was in the box freshly sharpened as well:smile2. Gas and oil and a few tugs and she lit up to life! reved,idled pumped manual oil for about 3 minutes and surprise surprise oil starts spraying off the tip!

I will have to cut some with it in the daylight tomorrow (the saw basically looks new???)

Thanks guys for the post which got me started and for the tips along the way!

Not bad considering I only have about $15 into it (carb kit, fuel filter, spark plug and fuel line).

Pretty rewarding,

Brian

I've had a titan 50 and 57 and I find them to be a very underrated saw. one of the nicest "modern" macs built. They feel nice and cut great, not heavy like a timberbear.

good job brian! glad you got it running:msp_smile:
i hope you crimped that clamp on the manual oiler before squeezing the engine and handle back together (pic in post #64), otherwise you'll have to pull the carb box. if it isn't done, you'll pop the line off as soon as you push the button. you don't want mess on that clean saw!:jester:

Ha! Good catch. I did crimp it but i had to go get a little end nip wire cutter to do it which i didn't have when i took the picture.

I believe that "extra" elbow is supposed to go in the oil pick up line for the automatic pump, out of the tank then a short tube and the elbow to help avoid the sharp bend you describe.

At least that is what I think is supposed to happen, as noted in an earlier post when you open one of these up a lot of part and pieced just fall out along with the crumbled lines.

You could be right, I just went by IPL. I am sure the guy before me took it apart and everything just crumbled apart so he put it in a box and never looked back. His loss!

Hi Brian,

Is it my eyes or is the oil line going to the oil pump narrower than the rest of the lines. I've used 1/4 / 1/8 Tygon throughout and did have some trouble getting this line behind the oil pump screws.

My project has come to a halt due to a New Years day heart attack, but I'm following this with great interest as I only have the putting back together stage left. I'm hoping to have a real nice saw at the end. I got my 57 in a group of 5 non-runners I bought for $80.00 so I too have about $20.00 into this one plus gas lines.

All the best for the New Year

Only the very short runs for the breathers are slightly smaller O.D. otherwise its all the same because I put all of those springs back in the lines. Even the long one headed to the oiler.

 

[heimannm]

I used the same Tygon tubing for all of the lines and did find that the one under the oil pump is a very tight fit indeed. I did not really pay attention to the size of the tubing...

Not trying to hijack, but if you guys can please check this thread out: http://www.arboristsite.com/off-topic-forum/188558-23.htm#post3392218, this family could use some well wishing.

When I took my 57 apart I only found two clamp bands and two springs on what was left of the lines. Do you need more than two clamps? I'm not going to use the spring as the Tygon tubing seems to resist kinks. I think the clamps are just needed on the manual oiler line. Please correct me if I'm wrong.:msp_confused:

Thanks,

Lee

Only two clamps are needed to secure the flexible tube to the manual oil pump outlet and where the flexible tube connects to the black hard plastic line delivering oil from the manual pump to the bar.

Thanks Mark,
That,s what I'd worked out from various photos and IPLs

I agree, that's how I did it.
