Hi everyone,
I have a old McCulloch 250 that needs a new recoil spring.
However, living in Ireland they are hard to come by, and any that I can find on the usual sites are from USA and cost $25 postage.
The spring casing is about 3 and a quarter inches across, (about 8.5cm) so I was wondering if anyone knew what other chainsaws use this sort of size spring.
In Ireland, Stihl and Husqvarna saws are readily available, so does anyone know if any of these saws take a spring similar in size to the McCulloch?
I know I will have to re-bend the ends to suit my saw, but that’s okay, I don’t mind doing that.
I have tried to google the diameter of springs, but can really find that information, just what saws use certain springs. So can anyone measure their recoil springs and tell me what saws they have that have close to a 3 inch recoil spring.
Any help or direction gratefully received.
