McCulloch 110 Chainsaw Assembly (not as bad as you think!)

[@TheCrittercam001]

Thanks for this upload Leon. I'll be referring to it often as I reassemble my 110. Your little helper added to the enjoyment of this one! You'll look back on this one and smile☺!

[@fallingsuncreations9270]

Thank you! Found one at a junk yard a year or two ago, was alright and got her to start but might need a new carb, now recently I found a newer version for 10 bucks at a pawn shop, my junk yard one has its safety bar broken and bad chain, this newer one was almost unused! Started with spray and would stay on choke but wouldn’t stay good, after watching this video once I learned to do it without having to rewatch! Great video and easy after the first time!

From one leon to another thanks for the video. Im putting a 110 back together today that i took apart a while ago. I have almost the same shirt, hat, beard and work bench with aluminum plate on it. I think were long lost brothers😂😂😂

Leon, You make it look so easy! I had to take my carb back off to get the throttle rod back in to it. No way it was going in the way you did it. Good vid. Thanks.

[@robertthomas3907]

Leon, thanks for the info. i pulled my EB 2.0 apart to rebuild the carb. I couldn't figure out how to get the dam linkage back on the trigger. Nicely focused video. great job of being a super Dad. I love that you have your daughter hanging out with you. best times for father bonding is any time your kids want to be with you ;-) Great Job thank you from, CA

[@robertb9874]

Hi. I have a Mac 110 that's been sitting on the shelf ever since I bought a Husky 359 about 17 years ago. I finally decided to clean up the old Mac and see if it would still run. Back in the days I was using it, it ran flawlessly and never gave me any problems. So I watched a few KZbin videos (including yours) on how to tear down a Mac 110 / 120 and decided to pull it apart to clean out the gunk. Everything I could see looked to be in good shape so I reassembled after a thorough cleaning, put in some fresh fuel mix, and tried to start it up. It wouldn't start so I primed the carb. With fuel in the carb the saw would start and run strong for about two seconds but still wouldn't start the normal way. I did this four times and each time it started and ran for a couple of seconds so it appears everything is working properly except the fuel isn't getting to the carb the way its supposed to. Okay, my question is this: Is it possible the old fuel mix that dried up in the tank deposited a sediment around the little screen on the intake tube and is plugging it? Or is there another explanation. Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

[@hillbilly4christ638]

you need to rebuild the carb. The diaphrams get old and stiff and need replaced periodically. use premium gas and a good synthetic mix and some stabilizer if the saw is going to sit for a while.

I've fixed a lot of the mini Mac's down though the years , good little saw, but I hate working on them and I still have some hanging around

[@farmalloliver58larry38]

First saw I owned. Was easy to use but had to have the carb rebuilt every year. Looks like you had plenty of help today.

[@LeonsChainsawPartsAndRepair]

These carbs do seem to be super sensitive to sitting for too long and I've found rebuilding them is a 50/50 as to whether they run again!

[@JakePlisskin12]

Oh my gosh. When that kids chainsaw started up i knew exactly what it was. Haha. My 2 year old carrys one around all day. When hes not vuccuming with his toy dyson

[@johnclarke6647]

Looks like the sprocket and clutch are loose. You must clean the tapered surface on the crank and sprocket, just like you have to do on the flywheel side. I pulled the sprocket and clutch on my 32-16 and had to remove it and clean the parts, after I greased the sprocket bearing. I must have gotten a little grease on the tapered part of the crank. After cleaning any excess grease and tightening it down with my I,pace it worked fine.

[@jonathanbenoit8828]

Good video 👍👍👍

[@eagleeye761]

Great Video! thx for the help!

[@davefournier7135]

Really informative video. Thank you so much. I have a 110 and just rebuilt the carb. I know the manual says to set the hi low to 1 1/4 turns but what is the starting point for the idle screw? Got the saw to run but at very high rpms. Thanks again for your knowledge, 👍👍

[@LeonsChainsawPartsAndRepair]

For the idle speed screw, I'd back it off CCW until the throttle arm stops moving (if you look down at the screw, you'll see the edge of the throttle arm contacting the idle screw). Then turn it back in 2 turns CW. That should be a decent starting point.

[@davefournier7135]

Leon's Chainsaw Parts & Repair that worked just perfect. Thank you it’s up and running. Last ? I replaced the auto Oiler and am unable to find (once again) the starting setting for the Oiler screw. Any ideas?

[@Dennis195822]

I have this exact chain saw and it's been sitting about 20 years in shop cabinet. I'm sure the oil reservoir tank and the gas tank needs clean out and cleaned. What is the first thing I should do before taking this saw apart. What particular parts would I need to change to see if I can get it running. How should I go about cleaning out the oil reservoir and gas reservoir? The last question is there any lines that need to be changed internally? I've worked on Poulin's before and the lines in it that feed the gas to the carb and return lines usually harden and has to be changed. Wondering if Mcculloch 110 has the same. Particular repair and service parts? Asking all this before I attempt to break it apart. Thank you very much.

[@lesterandreas96]

Great video. Very informative. I am searching for one piece of the puzzle and can’t seem to find it. The idle - lock screw how far should that be turned in ? I picked up a saw just like this that was out for garbage. The idle screw was in the bottom of the case I can’t seem to get it adjusted properly. Thanks in advance.also the spring placement inside the metal sleeve or under it ? I assumed under.

[@LeonsChainsawPartsAndRepair]

Yeah, spring under. The screw goes in as far as it takes to make the saw idle consistently

[@Blastfence1]

Excellent!

[@craigtimmons3468]

Leon, I have a Mac140 that when I do a pressure/vac test I have bubbles coming from the oil port on the bar mount pad, is this normal or is there an issue with the automatic oiler? Thanks for any help.

[@LeonsChainsawPartsAndRepair]

The oiler is actuated by the crankcase pressure, so I can see why there'd be some leakage there. I've never pressure tested one of those models, but initially I'm thinking that is normal. Perhaps someone else has run across this?

I got myself mac130 tore it apart and there is no oil pump has manual pump would a pump from a 110 or 120 work or does it have to be a 130 pump I can't seem to find one for a 130 with the retaining clip but have seen a 110 and 120 with all the pieces I need.

[@LeonsChainsawPartsAndRepair]

The pump from a 110 or 120 will work and you'll need the proper outlet hose as well. To make a non automatic oiler saw work with an automatic pump you can drill a small hole in the bottom of the pump base. I usually go for about a 3/16" bit and you want to be slightly below center, but not out where the pump case seals to the crankcase. You also want a magnet handy while you drill to ensure no shavings go into the engine.

Carb setting from start should be: L 1 1/2 turns open and H 1 turn open. You cannot adjust the timing on these...the flywheel key keeps the timing constant.

Check to make sure the points grounding tang isn't bent to the point that it's contacting the switch regardless of switch position. Also check the coil leads for areas of bad insulation.

I took my 110 apart to replace the coil. Now it runs, but the chain oil leaks out of the case. Any ideas?

Check that t-piece oil hose to make sure it is indexed properly....it's easy to have it cock to the side when installing the tank. Also check the tank for cracks...pretty common on these saws.

...the problem In have with these saws isn't really that they are all that hard to take apart and put back together...it's that you have to take it completely apart to work on it, then put it completely back together to test it...and if something still is not right..you have to completely take it back apart again...after repeating the process 3-4 times, my stress level starts to really rise, and my vocabulary gets increasingly inappropriate for young ears...after 5-6 times, even Ozzy Osbourne might raise an eyebrow over my language...beyond that, well, Mac parts start flying in all directions..:)
