Glad I could help.

It's possible the hoses are pinched. Another thing to check is if the hoses are routed properly. The primer bulb is designed to pull fuel through the carb, not push it through. One hose ( the one with the filter on it) goes directly into the carb. I believe it’s the bottom fitting on the carb. Out of the top carb fitting, that hose routes to the primer bulb. ( there should be an “in” marked on the primer bulb) The last hose goes from the primer bulb back to the tank, completing the circuit. Give that a try

Most Macs do a slight "kick back" motion as they shut down, to alleviate undue stress on the starter, you pull out the cord a couple of inches as you shut it down. Notice how the handle was pulled from my hand. As far as the kill switch, there is a broken contact somewhere ( not properly grounding ) most likely.

Probably

No grommets needed. Just like the fuel tank, the opening in the oil tank is sealed by the hose itself. The carburetor (new) is hard to find, they pop up time to time on eBay. The fuel tank has a "Duck bill valve” in it, designed to equalize the pressure in the tank as fuel is consumed. While you have it apart, it’s a good idea to pop a new one in. Hoses, Carb rebuild, (replace), filters - (Air&fuel) Spark plug. And you should be covered.

@@j.k.mcclead9207 I really appreciate all your help. Do you know the correct duck bill valve part#? I found part#530026119 but I'm not sure if it's for the same ProMac 3200. Like everything else, information on these chain saws are so hard to find. Thanks again!

@@Happyskyrocket #300256 is the original McCulloch number, but I have found that there are two basic sizes. I usually buy a 10 Pack of each off fleabay (they are fairly cheap) Knowing I will use them eventually.

Never mid. I see it's different when I took it apart.

1/8 x 3/16, for most applications.

Ebay. They are a pretty universal part and plentiful on eBay.

You could, probably should, but as a basic rule I subscribe to the: “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” methodology. It’s old, parts are hard to find, if they exist at all, so the less you disturb, the less you will need to fix. The hose out of the tank is where they all fail, it may be subject to more heat than the pump to bar fitting hose.

@@j.k.mcclead9207 thanks very much for the reply. I’ve got one apart, wrestling with the decision to take it down further to replace the bar line. Pain in the ass to replace. You really helped me out with this.👍🏻

302138 according to the IPL I have, ebay might have a few.

@@j.k.mcclead9207 Thank you

Its probably your browser or flash settings. Change browsers or update your flash player.

Did them on the carb video.

And an additional fuel filter, fuel line inside tank with linking fuel filter the canister kind just like replaced for this oil tank

And compatible E3 spark plug

Which adds an additional 5 year's to this very same chainsaw

Tuning keys too

I’m working on the best “first person view” in an effort to show the maximum amount of detail, unfortunately having a freakishly oversized cranium has made that problematic. I’m thinking of removing my head and placing it in a jar just off camera during my next “how to” video. That may solve the problem, but maintaining audio quality and clarity with your head in a jar, especially for instructional commentary, is next to impossible. Sorry.
