McCulloch

I wouldn't have a problem shelling out 250 bucks for one, as long as it didn't need a full rebuild, but if you could get it and clean it, give it a full tune up and make it run, then I would definitely give 250 for one.

I saw someone selling a 250 and 300 for $35 a piece and said he also had a 1-43 and 550 he was going t keep but would think about selling for a decent offer

Also there were some made by mcculloch, ive seen one with my own eyes at an auction and i let it go bc i didnt know there was any money there, turns out there is

.
Isn't that always the truth. You think its a piece of garbage until you go home and are stupid enough to research it. Then it hits you ... I've only had it happen a couple of time so far, they weren't anything big, but something I would have liked none the less.

Nice! Didn't know Mcculloch made aircraft engines. I bet when you get it tomorrow it will automatically jump to the top of the to get running list right?

That's a nice price and I think I read somewhere the 550 is rare. I dunno. The 1-43 is 80cc I believe. @heimannm will chime in soon.

Its going to go into the find nonexistent parts for it pile. It is missing only the carburetor, but it could be a problem finding one. I'm going to take it all apart, clean and decarbon everything, make new gaskets and then get it running.

Yeah, Mark can tell you a lot more than I ever could. He is the man to get a hold of about anything mcculloch.

I was going to say, if I never heard that they made that kind of engine, parts availability may be interesting. Wish you luck on finding a carb for it.

Hey guys, I'm getting impatient with waiting for my 361 crankcase gasket. I split it while messing with the crankshaft in the bottom corner on the side opposite of the crankcase. Can I fix it with some form-a-gasket or something along that lines, or should I wait for the proper gasket?

 

[Boomer 87]

Id wait and i asure you there noone more impatient than i, but if you do just try to make it work and it doesnt and you have to tear it down again youre gonna me more mad then.

 

[astnmacgto]

Came, saw, conquered....... I am headed home
