Have posted on here in a while. So if I violate a rule, then I suck, but also humbly apologize. But for 2016, I've been bitten with the Mcculloch bug somehow. Here is what I accumulated in the past few months
- Mcculloch Wildcat - Little 38cc saw came complete with case for $20 of CL. Put fresh gas & spark and it worked just fine. Even the auto oiler worked.
- Mcculloch PM330 - Again a small 34cc saw, I figured I might need another parts saw in the future, so got this one off CL for $20. Put fresh gas and spark in that one too, and fired right up. Everything works.
- Mcculloch PM610 - Been wanting a bigger saw and found this 60cc at a pawn shop. They were asking $50 for it. When I asked for a demo, it would start, but die quickly. So I kept trying to restart it, until the starter completely came unwound. And wouldn't rewind. They quickly said "$30?"....lol. Took it home, pulled the starter apart, rewound the spring and works now. I put fresh gas in this one and spark, it starts and runs for a little bit, but it definitely needs a carb rebuild. Won't stay running for long. Everything else like the oiler, ignition, brake, all work good.
Since then, I have probably just spent another $100 on refreshing all three saws, buying new fuel filters, spark plugs, carb rebuilds, starter cords, air filters, fuel cap gaskets, tools, and a couple small parts. A lot of my friends would say get a Stihl or Husky. But then what fun would I have with that
