Hi y’all, I’ve just gotten into antique chainsaws. I’ve recently acquire this mcculloch 300. It’s been sitting in a barn for 30 years. Had some tank corrosion seems to be mostly clearing out.

The recoil won’t retract. Any pointers? I understand parts aren’t easily found so I’d like to fix it without breaking anything else in the process.

The carb will likely need a rebuild but nothing I can’t handle.
 
Call me crazy but have a bunch of the old McCullochs. Take the starter housing apart, remove the rewind spring thorougly clean everything, including the spring reassemble with a new rope and it'll last another 50 years. You can usually find parts on eBay.
