What's on your bench?

So i did what ya said, and got it off. 3 flat heads and about 6 4 letter words. We got good spark. This seems like a job u couldnt perform in the woods unless u used an axe
This saw is from the 50's i believe. I wonder if the almost hard cap used to be flexible rubber? 3mm lip around the whole thing.
Thanks fellas!

I have 2 old McCullochs, 1-43 and 250 that have the same plug cover and they too are rock hard, had to take recoil cover off to get to plug didn't want to crack it in half.

I just finished this I hope. I plan to try it out tomorrow. Now I’m putting seals in an echo leaf blower. I’m not sure if it’s worth it for only $35 profit on the echo blower.

If you take the recoil off w/ the cap on you can slide the cap in place as you reassemble the recoil cover.

What a shame

Mac 1-46. Trying to check for spark for a fella interested in this barn find but i dont know how the plug cap comes off properly. Seems to be a brass stud/ retainer that holds it on. Any thiughts besides a hammer and chisel?View attachment 195687View attachment 195688View attachment 195689View attachment 195690

If you take the recoil cover off you can slide the cap out and slide it back in afterwards.

You can get NOS spark plug covers for the old McCulloch saws from Randy Duncan, soft and pliable.

Got the video uploaded tonight. It's sounds like what you would think lol.
Something tells me this is probably the most reliable motor I have now.

Thanks for the info Mark! I will let the hopefully new owner know about that. Like i said before that is a MAN SAW, Which my disc's and vertebrae told me to stay away from there is a madness to my 50cc addiction

 

[Stevetheboatguy]

Nope. No Idea why you don't have forward or reverse....... Add a little bit of lapping compound to your next lube change. It will buff out on it's own.......

working on my 550 xpg
only removed some flaws in the transferes and exhaust ports, cut the base set squish at .020 and gutted muffler.
I put a 8 tooth sprocket on it with 18" oregon speedcut bar and chain cant wait to try it out...!


And I picked up this yesterday form the original owner, hardly broken in.

I’m finishing up a lawn boy on my day off. I love working on these old lawn boys, so simple.

This just came off the bench, had to get rid of the shakes. Rebuilt rotor head with new thrust washers and proper shimming.

A little bling and go fast. Videos tomorrow. Repurposed low profile echo cs590 deflectors for the triple port

No epoxy in the intake yet...... Let’s see how she pulls. I’ve got a 36” Tsumura bar on the way and a hand filed square chain with a 9 pin planned for a “stress test” Monday
