Reemove all the rubber pieces i usually plug the holes then ya dump some brake clean in there slosh it around then blow dry with compressed air, i usually borrow the wifes hair dryer and warm up the tank with it lets it flow easier in there

 

[Kensie1988]

I will probably do that this weekend and just let it dry a couple of days, I have a new aftermarket piston on the way, and carb kits, so after I get the tank sealed we will see if she will fire up.

 

[Kensie1988]

Guess what guys, check it out!

 

[Kensie1988]

Also, are you supposed to be able to free wheel the c-5? When I turn the sprocket I can feel it and hear it spinning the crank and piston

 

[Boomer 87]

I didnt hear any sound i assume its running?

 

[Kensie1988]

Well, I guess it didn't upload right. But yes it is running!

 

[Boomer 87]

Cool pretty exciting isnt it?

 

[Kensie1988]

Man tell me about it! It's been sitting there for a little better than a month and now it's running, it's very gratifying!

Definitely can't wait, have to get a new chain for that .404 solid nosed bar, just trying to figure out if there is something wrong with my clutch because when I try and spin the chain I feel the crank and piston turning as well.

I just came home with this stuff from a great guy I have come to know. cabinet full of nos mcculloch parts.

 

[Kensie1988]

Sweet! I really need to get out and network in my community to see if I can find some good stuff. I'm a little strapped for cash for my hobbie right now, but it will replenish over time lol

This guy was a dealer in the 80s, same guy I got a bunch of other nos stuff from also that bada** 5 foot tall mcculloch sign

Good to hear, you might get it and be like why the hell did he even bother, but oh well.

 

[Kensie1988]

Haha I doubt it, I have absolutely no idea what it could be so I'm interested to find out.

 

[Kensie1988]

It says it's at my local post office this morning as if 5:42 so I'm thinking it should go out on the truck today.

The engine will turn if you manually turn the clutch itself, however the engine shouldn't turn just by turning the clutch drum. If i does you either have a clutch thats stuck out, or more than likely the drum bearing is dirty and dry, remove the drum and check the bearing, clean it up and put some grease on it

I thought that might be the case, I will pull it apart and put some grease in it, will that bearing come out easy?
