MCCULLOCH The official McCulloch thread

[PogoInTheWoods]

Very nice saw. See if it oils without the bar before digging into the oiler itself.

So I dragged this little outboard out and decided to see if it would run.
Looked it up to see who made it, and wouldnt you know it, its a Mac. Trying to find out what year. Serial# starts with 68. They were made between 1959 and 69 by Mcculloch.

That's pretty sweet! You can see the resemblance in the block.

Well I messed up.... I attempted to repair the botched spark plug threads on the Super 250. Somehow I managed to to tap it way crooked!!! With the plug tightened down I could still get a pocket screwdriver under the gasket on one side [emoji2959]
Not all hope is lost, I managed to remove the insert and we have a Time Sert "Big Sert" kit at work that is like triple oversize. I have used it before to repair a badly botched SP81 cylinder that is now on "Scrap Heap". So I ordered the appropriate inserts I hope and when I get them we will give it another go. These are the only pics I have, I didn't bother taking pics once it went to *s-worde.

I've always wanted one of these old 10-10's finally got one now McLuvin and with a sweet roller bar too! Thanks to Ambru. I'm gonna have to clean up and figure out the oiler though might be asking some questions once I have time off work to look into it.

Very nice! I also see that Kevin has had his "Sausage fingers" in it.

Yep. Looks almost exactly like that Super 250 cylinder actually.

Yep and it's a strong running saw!! Just need to get the auto oiler going. The manual oiler works not sure if the auto is set too low or if it's not oiling. I have an extra oiler that came with the saw.

Nice! Get that auto oiler working and put it to work!

Those are pretty easy to work on. Piston might just be stuck. Easy to get to. I just pull the bar and clamp the saw in the vice by the rear handle with the oil tank cover pointing up.

JT - I think I may have seen that saw before.

Help! I am new to this forum. I hope that I am using the correct approach here by asking on this thread.
I have my Dad's McCulloch Mac D30 chainsaw that I am trying to bring back to life. I need to replace the plastic gear that is part of the center mounted starter assembly. Does anyone have this part available or know of where I can find one?

 

[Absolution]

Oh look what I came home to.

Thats the sound !

 

[Dream]

Sounds good!

Horbie - if you can't find anything in Canada check back with me. I know I have a few put away somewhere, I will have to dig around and see if I can uncover them.

When the time comes, just use a large flat screwdriver to put a little tension on the spring, remove that pin, wind it up, then attach the rope and replace the pin. Those starters are actually pretty easy to service.

Hey Mark, exactly what I was looking for and the help on how to properly set the tension. Thank you! I can't find the part anywhere here. How can I go about purchasing one of the extra parts you have?

Horbie - check your inbox in the upper RH corner of the screen.
