MCCULLOCH The official McCulloch thread

[Al Smith]

On that Danarm it's not a right hand start Mac but the design is similar .Kind of like the Homelite Xl-12 the basic design was copied by many, almost too numerous to mention .The designs of both were sound and good and carried on for years with success .

 

[Teemore]

I currently believe that Danarm started their 55s by building Frontier 5R and 55 saws under licence. (May have been a 55RE as well but can't presently visualise the pictures I have seen). These "developed/regressed? into the Danarm 55 saws in Mk 1-3 varieties. They produced these in a mix of LH and RH starters. Had Frontier some sort of licencing agreement with McCulloch?

Has anyone tried these fuel lines on a 10-10?

The one in my cp55 is still good 3 years later.

Is there a spring in yours to keep it from kinking at the bend down to the barb or has it kept its shape without one?

It has this ribbed feature to it.
And the one that was on there looks the same too.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Looks like it's ribbed a little beyond the fitting end, too. I have a couple Stens versions that I haven't tried yet, but they seem mighty flimsy where the main bend is required before lining up to hit the barb. Guess I'll find out sooner or later if they'll hold up. Got em free with some other parts a while back, so can't complain if they kink. Probably rustle up some springs at that point.

There is a spring that goes inside the fuel line to prevent it from kinking. Some times you can extract the old one and reuse it, some times you have to cut the fuel line open to recover the spring.

This is what I ended up with.


I have it setting now to see if it leaks any.

That ain't right

Anyone have a few extra small parts they’d be willing to get rid of, or know of any for a sp125?
I think I’m needing part numbers...
110655 Flywheel nut
55766b Breaker box cover
55977 cover clip?
A couple 102763 10x24x3/4 (sems)
This is the 125c I picked up a while ago...going to get it on the bench to see if I can get it completed, and see why I have no sparkyspark.
Thanks!!

Normally the problem with a points ignition is on the low voltage side of the circuit .More often a tiny little bit of corrosion on the points or the aren't closing all the way .The nut is 7/16-20 used on just about any reed valve Mac . flea bay has a bunch of them

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Condensers go bad, too. The 85358 is the same one used on tons of Macs. Lots of folks would say that's the only thing a MiniMac is good for..., me excluded since I sorta like MiniMacs. At any rate, pull a condenser off a MiniMac if ya have one handy and see if that helps.

 

[Al Smith]

Mini's come in two styles .One that runs good and one that doesn't run at all .

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

I have several of each in those 'styles'. Also have a couple in the classic 'donor' style. LOL

 

[Al Smith]

I'm not sure how many I have,several all freebies .
