MCCULLOCH The official McCulloch thread

I would totally be game for a 24 and a 28 if whoever sold this one wants to sell a couple more.

The obvious reason is that you can change pitch without changing the bar and I do believe they roll smoother and a little faster, they take the beauty of the sprocket tip but no meshing of tooth to sprocket required

Thank you. I suspected it had something to do with pitch. So ideally a longer roller nose would be better in .063 gauge?

No money was exchanged in this acquisition. The shop wear I work a few days a week used to be a McCulloch dealer back in the day.

Just like a normal bar, whatever is going to carry the most oil, but I don't think I've seen a roller tip that was stamped with a specific gage

That's awesome, the closest mac dealer to me that I've been able to find is hour and a half away and he was open when they were selling 610's and stuff

Friend just gave me a mini mac 30. Anything special I should know? Even has a 14" bar and 3/8lp with it.

Are you saying it's a complete waist of time, or a rare gem?

Hey guys I'm trying to find the kit part number for a HL 63d off a 250. Will a DG5 hl work?

 

[Lee H]

The full kit is RK88HL, That's what I would recommend. The DG5 will be just diaphragms.

David,
I'll look in the big book at work. I know an HS 63A will use a DG5(minor) or RK 23HS(major), but I'm not familiar with the HL series.

Edit: Thanks @Lee H

Depending on where you get the rebuild kits they could contain mylar check valves or impregnated paper or both and enough gaskets to rebuild another carb .In addition some of the kits will do an HR .
HL's get a little confusing to me unlike the HS model which at least to me stay pretty much the same .
My assumption being if they do contain mylar it is because of ethanol .Older vintage kits that might have been 25 years old from my experience don't have the mylar option .
Some places you can just buy single components such as a diaphragm if that's all you need .
