I wrap the aftermarket line in Teflon tape and it seems to work just fine.

Yep it sure does and is a easy fix.

I got some stuff from permatex fuel sealer I'll see if I can find the part number

Permatex moto seal will hold up to gas but its kinda runny to use like that. There is no need really, the teflon tape is a fix.

I've used yamabond on some stuff it's freaking awesome

Well, finished another cab off Duramax diesel repair today, new turbocharger set the cab back down,finished test drove runs good. Good accomplishment

Glad I don't work on those at work. Just wait til you have to remove the hvac case from a 2016 with a Dmax. They had to put a case bolt right at the turbo heat shield and give you 1" of space to remove a 3" 10mm case screw. Had to bust the case to get it out then cut the bolt in half and push it out of firewall then seal up the hole with GM gray sealant.

No thanks I'd rather pull another cab lol I freaking hate under dash work

 

[Boomer 87]

I actually don't mind the Diesels my buddy does all the Powerstrokes I do the Duramax, we split the Cummins lol

Working on a homelite super xl auto, no spark. Believe coil has crapped out. Had electronic ignition, any one have or know the resistance on these. Pull kill wire, remove plug wire from coil and clipped the end off and installed it back in, still no spark.

Steve

It's not the blue coil I hope...

Hello all, found this forum because I just bought this vintage chainsaw for $30 today at an antique store. I don't know much about it other than it is a McCulloch 4-30a. Has compression, havent checked it for spark but im gonna see if i can get it running tomorrow

 

[s sidewall]

Yep, found a new one on eBay, black replacement. Son in law is supposed to be getting it. As soon as he gets it and fuel lines I can finish checking in over. Done told him I would like to replace the crank seals. Has had carb rebuilt by previous owner. Old fellow had his own saw shop in one of his barns and also collected a few saws and mighty old outboard motors. He got all the saws and motors and gave me a super xxv da.

That's defiantly a vintage Mac. Looks to be in descent shape.

Welcome to AS and to our growing family. One of the guys that collect the much older saws should be on sooner or later.

Mcculloch 4-30? I think the SN is usually on the rear handle on those models, but don't quote me.

 

[Giancarlo124]

Yep! Thats where it is, Ill take a pic of the exact number when I get back out in the shop tomorrow morning
