McCulloch Chain Saws

[tpence2177]

How is McCulloch's other outdoor equipment quality wise? Been looking for a hedge trimmer, cause i can't really buy anymore chainsaws right now or my wife would kill me. Found a used echo that's in good working order and then I found an old McCulloch and kinda was intrigued cause it would be unique around here. Thought about getting it if they are decent products. I know the echo will be a good one.

I guess best bet is to ask here. I have a sp70. Questions what carb came on them I need to order a kit also what size fuel line do I need. It has a 16in mcculloch bar and chain on it what kinda chain should I order, would rather run a bigger bar but not sure what size fits best will 20 work or can I do a 24. What can I do for the oiler to make sure it works first time working on this saw

24" bar is ideal for a SP70. I ran a 28" on my PM700 for many years.

I prefer 20 or 24 on the 70 cc saws. A nice SP70 is a great all around saw.

Carburetor is probably an SDC although there were also some Tillotson HS models used on the 10 Series saws. Should be easy enough to determine by looking yours over, it will either say Walbro/SDC or Tillotson. Search e-Bay for the fuel line and pay the few extra dollars to get a genuine McCulloch OEM part, yo won't be sorry.

This one has a NOS piston and cylinder and a new muffler, very deceptive...

That's a very nice saw sir. Maybe it's just because my school colors are yellow and black but I really dig how McCulloch's look

Has a walbro is there just the line from the tank to the carb does that include the filter. Is there a tank vent I need to look for? I want to get a chain brake but not sure what all I need I see the band is there

You can find an IPL for your part numbers here.

Tried cross referencing the IPL part numbers for replacement points but no luck anyone actually put points in lately that has a number. All the fuel parts are on the way. Anything special I need to look for in a bar besides d176 mount going to grab a 24in bar as this will only be used if I have to

Ignition parts are generally available on e-bay, might be less expensive to buy a parts saws that the individual pieces.

Point and condensers rarely fail, points may need to be cleaned if the saw is setting for a long time but the components are pretty reliable.

Champion DJ7J

Fuel tank vent is in the fuel cap, they frequently fail due to age and decomposition. On most you can drill the passage out to 5/32" and use the red Homelite duckbill valve as a repair. DJ8J will also work.

I've been using the Poulan Duckbills. They fit well (for me anyway) with no mods.

Mini Macamania

Practice makes perfect!

 

[heimannm]

Certainly easy to get a lot of practice when working on the Mini Mac. The MM6 is finished (I hope), the MM1 will be next as the ones with the fixed starter are more difficult to work on. Saw King did manage to shake his out with the starter installed but on the models with the removable starter the task is much easier if you just remove those four screws and get the starter out of the way.
