MCCULLOCH The official McCulloch thread

[heimannm]

I have to say it is not a common problem on any of the McCulloch saws. Out of maybe 200 McCulloch saws that I have messed with, only 2 that I can think of had an issue with those plugs...one was a BP-1 and the other a 101 kart block.

You should be able to find a welch plug of the appropriate size and add a little JB Weld for extra security.

I'm liquidating my Mcculloch collection. I need the funds to pay for all the ultralight camping gear that my son and I need to hike the PCT starting March 13. I just don't play with them any more so they need to go to good homes. I went through all of them back in the day to make them OEM complete good runners. Some haven't been run in several years. I listed all the details in the selling section:

Thanks Mark
It hurts me more watching them gather dust than it does sending them to new homes. I'm keeping my SP81 and a 10-10 so not out of the MAC addiction completely.

I've got a PM650 that's driving me up a wall.I changed out the clutch drum & rim & greased the bearing last month.Now when I put the chain on all it does is bind.I've even tried a different chain to no avail.Anyone got any ideas?

 

[heimannm]

Ed - Do you have a different bar to try, or a bar and chain that you know works on another saw? Just trying to pin down exactly where the problem is.

Howdy all.
Got my SP80 in bits and slowly piecing it together.
I managed to get a set of crank seals, as they are not cheap to get down here am a bit worried I'm going to wreck them.
Any comments or tricks on best way to remove old ones and fit new?
As the crank is out, is it easiest to fit seals when back engine assembled?
Small bearing slides of but have left large one on crank as looks to be in great shape.
Cheers!
