Way back in the 70s when I was a kid, my dad had a few of these McCullochs, I don’t really remember much about them other than they seem to run and cut pretty good and he swore by them, I wish they were still sitting out in my garage.

Its funny how a person gets rid of things only to wish he had kept them. If I lived in the country my place would look like a junk yard.

@@TheGreasyShopRag thank you. I guess what bothers me the most is I have nobody to work or train with. I feel like an idiot if I have to tell the customer I'm sorry but I couldn't figure it out. Maybe I'm still under that military saying failure is not an option but all I can tell them is I'm sorry.

That's a good repair. I have an old Alpina Prof.70 chainsaw, that looks a lot similar to this McCulloch. Unfortunately, it doesn't have spark. something wrong with the coil, or points. I bought the electronic chip to replace the points, but didn't have time to install it so far.

I get that the spark has to jump a minimum 6mm gap. But is there an upper limit of gap it should NOT jump that indicates issues?

@TheGreasyShopRag 3 ай бұрын

Thats a great question. My first thought is no but I'm not certain.

@nightshadefern162 3 ай бұрын

more of a thing on an older car- too much spark can jump the contact points in the distributor, giving a spark out of time. I guess on a saw, too much might wear the plug out faster, or jump through the coil wire.

@outboardfixer 3 ай бұрын

Why did you decide to pre-fit the cover....Hmmm

@TheGreasyShopRag 3 ай бұрын

Like I said in the video, a few days passed after installing the top tank half and actually putting fuel in it. I needed to test fit that aftermarket air filter and also storing the metal air filter cover on the shelf where it could get knocked to the floor seemed foolish. Does that answer your question?

@@TheGreasyShopRag Good question. You just gave me motivation to fix mine, as it's been sitting up in my garage rafters for many years. It ran great when I last ran it, but I couldn't find what I needed to fix the leak the last time I looked many years ago. I have a new gasket and fuel line coming for it.
