McCulloch Chain Saws

[joeymt33]

It is sitting in a million pieces on the kids' ping pong table. I started to switch to an electronic coil but the mounts are different. So I may just put it back stock. I still don't have the MAC special screw but I'll find someting else to replace it. Have you noticed the prices SP70s have been bringing on eBay? Might make it hard for me to keep it. Ron

What screw are you looking for?

No plans to sell any time soon. :msp_wub:


What screw(s) are you looking for? Are they for the saw or the ping-pong table?

No big deal: Part no. 83811 Bolts the rear AV mount to the motor. I can make do by borrowing one from one of my 800s or swapping in something from Fastenal. Ron

Mine shows #110894 which is a hex head 10-24 x 2 1/8" screw going through the AV mount down through the shroud into the block.

I afraid that you are looking at the wrong list. The screw you list is part # 1 shown in the fuel tank assembly - the two screws that hold the carb down; look at part # 1 on the next list. Ron

LOL .... the bass-ackwards logic used at McCulloch strikes again!

Why would anyone think that the legend would immediately follow the diagram?

Aside that it is 'Special,' do you have any specs on it?

 

[rwoods]

Ted, I can just measure one from an 800 sometime as they are the same. In fact, I believe this screw is common to all the AV 10 series. Ron

Well, I didn't fix the manual oiler on the 8200. It is very strange. The manual oiler works great but the rod from the button to the oiler is too long. It has the manual oiler pushed in almost completely. What's up with that?

 

[joeymt33]

The oiler rod looks to not be bent and it also looks to be original. The manual oiler I used is not original to the saw. Maybe that's the problem?

IIRC my NOS piston/cylinder/oil tank/etc "kit" came with a "direct action manual oiler pump" (whatever that means in comparison to the original pump) and a manual oiler rod. Maybe the "new" style pump uses a shorter rod. I'll go grab it out of the closet and measure the pushrod length. BRB.....

 

[joeymt33]

I just checked the IPL on the 8200 and it shows the same part number as a pm850 for the manual oiler.

Here's the contents of the 'goodie bag' that came with my "kit". The instructions state that the parts for the direct action manual oil pump "must be used with the new replacement cylinder/crankcase or short block". The manual oiler pushrod included in the "kit" measures out to about 7-7/16" from end to end (with a steel tape measure).

My "kit" was intended for the SP80/81/81E and PM850 saws. Maybe you got a "new style" oil pump (which needs the shorter pushrod) as included in my "kit".....

Sounds like I should just cut the rod shorter and call it good?

That's what I'm thinking. What's the measurement of that pushrod now? Did your new pump and piston look like what's in my kit?

 

[joeymt33]

It looks the same. I'm not in the shop now to measure it. Maybe I can learn more tomorrow.

Thanks for your help Aaron.

I did manage to add one this week, just needed a little massage to get it running properly.

I also received a box from Joey yesterday, now I have another project to work on one day when I assemble a few more parts around an 82 cc saw, or maybe I turn an SP70 in to a real sleeper...

Looks good, Mark!

Has the uber-cool recoil 'roller' too ..

I've got a bar like that waiting for my PM800 ..

Is that a factory spike?

 

[a. palmer jr.]

There are 'other' brand saw models that had thick rings in the 'standard' saws and thin rings in the 'Super' versions. They're a different color than the 797's however....

I wonder why they don't just make a "medium" to fit all, might save them some money.

 

[joeymt33]

The PM8200 lives! You can see that I'm finding the limits of the saw using a 32" bar and cutting with the grain. I can push pretty hard and it will keep digging but it doesn't have the power of my PM850 with that 38" bar. When the spikes bit and you use that for leverage, i can stop the chain. Maybe when it gets broke in the power will come up a bit.
