McCulloch Chain Saws

[BigBlue]

Well, I went back out to take another look and got creative. The old spring was about 50% intact and 50% stretched out. I used a small piece of wire to pull the old spring through the new line until the munged up part got to the line end. Then I shoved a WD40 spray nozzle (red tube) into the good part of the spring inside the line and used the tube to wrap the old spring around it. Got it snug enough to approximate a spring and coils fairly evenly spaced and then I was able to push/pull it in the rest of the way. Salvaged! Sometimes it's good to be lazy and not want to look around for the right new part.

Thanks for the tips though.

Good job! Sometimes we just have to think things through for a bit & then things just seem to fall into place.I've had that happen to me countless times.

The spring is important to keep the line from developing a kink and pinching it off. The fuel lines also have a spring inside to prevent them from developing a kink as well.

I never knew that.It's a good idea.Is that on all Macs,or just a select few?I know my Timberbear & 610's don't have that spring in the fuel hose.

Threebond 1184 or Dirko HT for the shortblock sealant and Motoseal for the tank seam or this guy for gaskets -- https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mc...400?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10#viTabs_0

Fast shipping, high quality materials, very fair pricing.

What's the corresponding Permatex product to Threebond 1184? Ultra Grey or Motoseal? Both are about $5-6 on Amazon vs. almost 20 for Threebond. I don't get into the city that frequently to get to a auto parts place.

Someone snagged this out from under me. Right in mark and I's back yard. 50 bucks and I just couldn't get there fast enough.

Wow, that one is in nice condition!

I got a SP81 last year that was in fairly decent visual condition but seems to have a compression issue so isn't runable. Waiting to complete my PM800 before digging into that one.

I know mark didn't get it, as he's out on the west coast at the moment, unless he's got someone snagging saws for him in his absence lol. I wouldn't put it past him.

Maybe Mrs. H picked it up for him for Fathers Day or a welcome home gift. Ron

Well, if it had to go somewhere other than here, it found a deserving home

If she ever brings me another saw, it will be a surprise indeed.

I'd better check the little garage when I get home, that saw looks somewhat familiar....

Mark, I hope that's not the case. Would really make me sick if it were

Why does my G 70 say automatic on the name tag, logo? All looks
the same except mine has an aluminum handle.

Typically the "Automatic" tag was added to any saw with an automatic chain oiler.

On the 10 Series gear drive saws, I think all had an automatic oil pump. The gear drive oil pump is under the cover circled in red.

Thanks, are we still talking 1970/72 or different year?

Hey fellas,
Can anyone offer advice for buying and replacing the rubber wrap on a 10-10 handle? Or can an upholstery shop do it?

Motoseal.

Not sure about Ultra Grey. It doesn't say it's fuel resistant where Motoseal does. I have had great results with the Motoseal.
