    Stihl 024 build

    In my opinion changing an 024 into basically an 026 is like some grafting an 038 Magnum cylinder to an 038 AV .When quite honestly more magnums were made than AV's .What would be the point of doing all that work other than to prove it can be done ?

    You have to remember that an 024 is sub 3 cubic inch .I for one have much better options for a 3 cube cookie cutter .However that said with a muffler rework they are handy little things for lighter work . They are light as a feather for one plus real easy on gas .With a 16 inch bar running .325...

    MCCULLOCH The official McCulloch thread

    It might sound funny but two things I've found on old Macs .The bearings hold up well and so do the piston rings .Due to the fact most of the inpulse oilers usually leak some that night have something to do with it .

    Interesting I might say .I have a 650 which I assumed to be just a larger displacement engine than a 640 .After looking at this example they are entirely different .I've never seen a 640 anc my 650 is the only one I've ever seen .

    This piston ring conversation has sparked a memory .I once tracked down a set of generic size rings for a Hercules IXK engine just by size .This was before the internet BTW .I've got the lists made by Perfect Circle,Hastings,Sealed Power etc .Most likely those 50-60 year old parts numbers could...

    I only checked Caber and most likley missed some sizes .Then too you might be able to find something on Wiseco but my word would they cost .A pair of Wiseco circlips sells for 15 bucks and some pistons are in the $200 range .I've got a few sets of OEM McCulloch rings but have no idea what they...

    Doing a quick check it appears that D44 afore mentioned has a 2 inch bore which is 50.8 mm .Caber does list rings in 50 mm by 1.5 mm thick. wonder if something like this might work in a pinch if the rings are shot on that saw . Thinking out load being a McCulloch it should have two rings and...

    On that D44 if my info is correct it's Mc stock number 51747 for the rings ,standard size .However being McCulloch it's likely some others might work .I didn't take the time to try and cross reference another piston but again as typical McCulloch I'd about bet that bore is used on other models. .

    I'd imagine with an iron lined cylinder it could take a lot of heat to do any damage .Depending on the piston it might be able to sanded it off and stick it back in .If the rings are shot I'd have to refer to the charts to find the McCulloch stock numbers .One of those things you might find...

    For those who don't know the Mac super 44A chainsaw engine morphed into the MC 10 kart engine . As far as the chainsaw because they have a hold down choke you almost need three hands to start it .I use a little screw driver to "stick " it .If you never have seen one of these antiques in action...

    Winter's over.

    For all intents winter as a season is over seeings this is the first day of spring .This season brings on other weather problems such as it could rain like a cow peeing on a flat rock at times .The rich farm lands in NW Ohio can almost turn into the swamp lands of Louisiana .Along with that the...

    Partner 5000 Plus

    From my limited experience parts for any of the afore mentioned models are not easy to find .I have a Partner 500 and a 5000 plus I landed extremely cheap .The 500 has extremely low compression .The 5000 plus runs okay but not as well as it should .I suspect it might need a ring of which it only...

    Winter's over.

    In spite of the enthusiasm to operate a snow blower ,if not used they last for a long time .Think about the late 70's to mid 80's .They spent a bloody fortune for large blowers ran by tractors .Used about a year and since not used .Fact I picked up a year old 12 HP electric start walk behind ,I...
