    McCulloch S550

    Thanks! I thought it acted like an air leak. I do not think I will dig into it as I will probably pass it along to a another collector.

    McCulloch S550

    Have not had any time but a few minutes here and there to tinker. It is only the second time running it, and have not done a thing to it other than getting the grime off. It does it every time after it rev it, but comes back down to a nice burbly idle after a few seconds. I did not tilt it...

    McCulloch S550

    Started up today and played with the carb adjustments, it tends to return back to idle slow but then idles fine after a few seconds. Air leak ?

    Would anyone have a manual for this thing? I would like to know how to properly adjust the carb and gov also.

    It seems to idle aright, is it rare to see one fully intact? It might need to be rebuilt, not sure yet.

    McCulloch S550

    It's alive!!!!!!!!! Put some fuel into tank and a little down the carb and WOW!!!!. It ran:hmm3grin2orange:. It is missing a few screws on the recoil housing and has a small chip on the left corner of the filter cover but is mostly in good shape. Here are a few pics since I know it is a lie...

    McCulloch S550

    It has the original 20" bar and chain/sprocket which I believe is a .404 . But he could not find a chain locally and installed a 20" saber with a .375 chain and sprocket. The carb on this thing is massive! What mix did they use for this saw?

    McCulloch S550

    I obtained a S550 that was running when my co-worker put it away 5 years ago. I have not tried to start it yet but have been trying to find out a little about it. Would anyone know the specs and hp or a little history of these saws? Is it a keeper?

    where did you learn to work on saws?

    I am a mechanic by trade for the Gates Corp and have always worked on everything I have ever owned. I have a co-worker that was a mechanic for the local Stihl dealer for 13 years. We got to talking saws and I was instantly hooked. I have since repaired several saws but am still looking forward...
