MCCULLOCH The official McCulloch thread

[heimannm]

There is no service manual dedicated to the 700/800 saws that I am aware of. I think you would find the 1-40 1-50 1-50 manual and the shop manual supplement 63328 to be of some use in spite of the fact that most of the information is specifically directed towards the front tank saws.

If there is I might have it on micro fiche but I have no way to copy it except bring up a slide and using the macro setting on a digital camera .I have the CD from Robert in Australia ,RIP which might have it it .Give me a day or so to see

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

The 1998 Publications Guide only shows a card for the IPL and nothing for a shop manual.

​

 

[Al Smith]

I don't have it either > As already said the IPL is on micrrofiche card number 12 .That I do have .It did surprise me as it gave the compression ratio at around 6.5 to one .I would have thought at least 8 to 1 .

I did find a couple good pistons in the NOS Mac stuff

I am a new member in my late 50's I have a McCulloch Super 33 and a 33B they been around a while hoping one day to rebuild them I know that the carburetor kits are scarce as hen's teeth but if someone knows where I can get a couple of them it would be greatly appreciated also I am looking for a emblem for the Super 33 thanks for your time

Try to determine just what is wrong with the "carburetors" you have and what parts you need. I have a few 33/35 saws and may be able to help with some parts. Have you disassembled the saws to have a closer look as what is really there?

Somewhere I put together a whole thread of a 35 rebuild, if you can find it you may find some useful information.

I have been working on a lot of 10 Series saws lately, mostly 10-10S but a PM700 as well. Thought I'd share a couple of simple tools I use to make things so smoother.

Occasionally you will need to drive out the small roll pin(s) that hold the choke or oiler button in place. My tools...


The punch I use is made from a finish nail, probably a 6d, just small enough to fit through the 3/32" for the roll pin.


So how do you reinstall those small roll pins with sausage fingers? Make a driver from a piece of rod with a small hole in the end to hold the pin.



One more little tip for you. How do you remove those stubborn gaskets? This stuff works very well, the longer you let it soak the easier the gasket will scrape off.

I love that gasket remover, all of my local auto parts stores stoped selling it...were did you get it?

 

[heimannm]

I have had that one in my cupboard for a long while, haven't had to go looking for a replacement yet.

Figures, it if works as advertised they would have to take it off the market...

A quick Google search shows a 4 ounce non aerosol for Permatex and an aerosol gasket remover from CRC.

I was gitting my hopes up! I loved the aerosol can version!!! I haven’t seen it in almost ten years!!!! Lol working on motorcycles, it was like heaven for gasket removal it would soften gaskets and sealant.....oh the memories,... I used a lot of that!

I have opened it up yet just trying to locate parts because I know the carburetor parts are the hardest to find I will try to search for your post on rebuilding thanks for your help I appreciate it

I took four saws to the brush dump today to test them in some wood. I hadn't intended to bring any wood home but I found a couple of large pieces of locust (crotches) so I decided to cut some up into firewood size pieces. I had three 10-10S models (two are Special Edition) and a PM700 (HEath).

The 10-10S SE saws were very impressive running 16" bars, one was 3/8 and one was .325. The "regular" 10-10S had a 20" .325 bar/chain combination and it did well, but lacks the compression and so the guts of the two SE models. All things considered, it runs and pulls quite nicely.

HEath's PM700 didn't want to run, I discovered when I took it back to the shop that the choke was disconnected...won't start in the cool weather without a choke. With that resolved I put a junk 20 hardnose bar and old chain on it and headed back to the brush dump to discover I had an .050 chain on an .063 bar...if you just keep trying you can eventually get it to cut well enough to burn up a tank of fuel.

I may have to go back this week for some more testing, still a big chunk of that locust remaining. HEath's PM700 and the chunks I harvested today.


There is still a big piece of that locust begging to be whittled on.


I enjoy cutting at the brush dump since there is no clean up required.

I will be putting the 10-10S Special Edition saws in the classifieds in case anyone is interested. Both are real rippers.

I had a birthday this week, Mrs. Heimann was tickled to give me this present.



Unfortunately the seller just crammed it in a box and bent it up, I am trying to get it straightened out now.
