HOW TO TUNE THAT OLD McCULLOCH

[@chipjr10]

Man, you keep taking me down memory lane with these videos. My dad was very hard of hearing, but he could tell that his power saw needed tuning even when I was running it. He would tap me on the shoulder while he held his little screwdriver that he just took out of his pocket and I would cut while he adjusted it. As you all know it is sometimes hard to get onto that screw and he'd yell "hold-r-still." Oh boy, they were the good old days. Thank you very much Buckin' for these wonderful videos.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Your welcome , pal, your constant presence here is welcome and appreciated muchly thx again for beein here

[@Magoot2456]

I love that your the exact same in this video as fast forward 7 years from now! Good men dont change!

[@jershowers]

I’m new here. From San Antonio, Texas. I enjoy your happy go lucky attitude to life and you also know a BOATLOAD about saws! 😂 Picked up a 1960’s McCulloch 250 because I love older American made things. I don’t know much about saws but I’m willing to learn at my 55yo age. Thanks again for you knowledge. God bless you and everyone here.

[@treyleitzell7185]

Newer sub, self employed in the tree work business in central Pennsylvania. 1st comment ever on youtube (like to keep to myself) but what you said about having someone to go to for help really got me going!! I wish I had even someone with bad advice to go to when I first started. absolutely great guy here to anyone that's watching.

[@larryduttry9400]

Welcome to commenting, I do tree work in northeast pa, it's tough when you are going by the seat of your pants, I have learned a lot from Buckin.

[@AshleyAuliye]

Awesome glad decided to comment and yeah Buckin has inspired me as well I started to watch well mainly for the axes but I have always loved chainsaws this has really helped me with filing, tuning, fitmenship, and overall attitude throughout my days since subscribing.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

you and me both brother ha haa oh man some of the crap we pulled eh lololo ha haaa ,, thx so much for speakin up your in the right plc.ask anything, anytime.. WE all help here

[@thearkansashillbilly1776]

Buckin I have been cutting wood for 25 years. Not professionally of course. My Dad would cut wood as a source of income. Now I use what I have learned to provide for my family. We are never to old to learn something new. Your video's inspire me to get out there and snatch up those old Macs and get em running and put em back to work!! The filing videos have really helped me as well.Thank you for what you do!!

[@wadewittman8510]

James Triplett AMEN brother, feel the same way!

[@wadewittman8510]

James Triplett AMEN brother, feel the same way!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

james thx for yer thought s this makes me very happy , this can be very enjoyable to do

[@TheSagerider]

Thanks Billy! Every time I think I have it all figured out by myself I end up being only partly correct. Watching your videos helps me to smooth out those rough edges and get things done the right way. I love watching all of your videos because there is so much to learn in them.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

glad they help friend

[@danielvelazquez4801]

Thanks I woke up little ole McCulloch myself restored everything (rebuilt carb new ignition cleaned it up to look almost like new) now I finally got it to turn over after a lot of cursing and patience. A wee beast it is now just have to tune the carb and she is done… I taught myself the hard way to not lean it out too much and detonate it after all that work.. The sound is wicked for a little 38cc top handle. But the way of the world if we can’t pull start it in 3 pulls everyone is headed to replace it with battery power but hearing that 2 cycle screams is still music to my ears thou… thanks for the tips it’s much appreciated..

[@shamwow0000]

Just tuning up an old 610, your video was the most helpful and appreciated. thank you!

[@garrietaylor9519]

I've adopted a PM610 here in New Zealand, learning heaps as a new user I've trolled your channel seeking knowledge - just love the positive attitude in this channel "friend"

[@troyherbert6583]

Hey, Troy from Michigan. Thanks for the tuning and filing videos. I’ve learned a lot. Keep them coming!

[@thewoodmansk5510]

You’re right there is a ton of stuff on the internet, but it’s not all diamonds friend. This channel and your methods have helped me. They just do. So glad you’re here willing to help out bud.

[@scottprice8933]

Using an old Eager Beaver 3.7CI to cut some big trees down. It was one of my father in-laws chain saws. This video has given me some great direction for tuning the saw. Thanks!

[@creightonruble9030]

Just hung a new handle on my old 3.3 lbs single bit with you in mind. I glued the wedge in and left a good quarter inch of wood on top. I tested her out on some dead oak I cut down the other day and it surprised the heck out of me. Have a wonderful day. ~Creighton

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

A few more months and every corner of the globe will be getting the gullet out!! Great technique, it really helped me out too. Thank Billy!! Be safe :)

[@wadewittman8510]

John Sommerfeld hahaha, ain't that the truth! "get the gullet OUT"👍

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

That will be a good t- shirt eh guys

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

You bet!!

[@65BAJA]

I got a ProMac 700 from my Dad recently. He said the saw never really put out the power everyone said it should when he bought it. Put a good tune on it and now it rips hard. Thanks for the vid.

[@paigehawkins1945]

Right on brother! It's a relief to learn some new things from someone who not only shares what they know to work smoothly and efficiently,but does so happily without looking down their nose or with a half cocked arrogant snarl. Btw, Paige Hawkins here (I'm not a girl) from Ms. No expert, but have run the deck, feller,loader ect... while not hauling to the mill off and on for 23 years. Ya got some good advice fella! Keep it up!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

hey that s great ,, glad it receivable for you..thx

[@bobswartout214]

My great grandfather ran logging camps all over northren michigan its in my blood Im self taught as my father never cut much. I love the channel its like going home. thanks buckin billy

[@ktmchiro250]

another great video buckin keep up the good work, been watching for awhile and running a saw as a homeowner and struggled with it and hated it, but now with a proper filing job and getting the gulit out has made firewood collecting something to look forward too. thanks for passing on your knowledge and not being arrogant about it.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

You are welcome , and Im gonna tell ya somethin' If I could frame this comment I wood, this validates everything for me , welcome sir , and yes runnin saw is meant to be enjoyable, thx sooooo much , keep up the possitve comments , we are all growing together

[@ryanemerry]

New subscriber since Sunday. I live in The US in Ohio. I work full time and run a family farm. I love your videos!Keep it up with your old McCulloch's.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Ryan Merry ,, welcome my friend great ta have ya sittin at the campfire with us , any questions just shoot from the hip

[@ryanemerry]

Can't wait to remove the gullet!

[@SkyStayHigh611]

These two videos a helped me so much. I thought my old mac saw screamed. The run so much better. Thank you buckin your awesome

[@chrisbillings338]

I'm really glad I stumbled upon this video. Hands down one of the best techniques I've seen... unless you're one of those people that can't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time lol

[@panchovilla1901]

I used your filing technique and my chain cut better than new. went through eucalyptus like a hot knife thru butter. never saw wood chips pour out of a saw like that before. awesome

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

GOOD STUFF

[@jerrysmith9935]

Your technique in filing the gullet has made cutting into any wood so exciting i have been trying for years to master hand filing buckin thanks again for all you do for the channel

[@andyp2415]

Loving the videos. Im a fitter & turner but have been playing with old saws (as i like mucking around with old things) i have a collection of Mcculloch's, Pioneers, Homelites, and a couple of Canadien's, all old and most of them go, never been offically taught just figured it all out. But watching these videos is just awesome, suffering a bit of information overload but getting keen to pull some saws back off the shelf and apply some new ideas etc. Most went on the shelf because they were becoming more of a burden than a pleasure to run.

[@jimmack9997]

Thank You Billy, great Vid. you just made an Aussie a bit more knowledgeable than a few minutes ago... subscribed after watching the first of your vids. I have come across. I'm sure I am going to enjoy watching the rest of your channel an learning a bit more .. again keep up the great work and Thank You.. All the best...

[@kvnkne]

Got an old Timber Bear 60cc Cutting Red and White oak around clemson sc. People look at me like im crazy heating my house with wood. Much love for your channel and info

[@LBLUME0722]

kvnkne You probably already know this, but the Mcculloch PM 610 is basically the same saw just a little older and the cylinder bore/piston is slightly different. What I’m getting at is if you need parts for yours you can pick up a PM 610 or a Timber Bear, you don’t have to limit yourself to finding a saw exactly like yours. I’ve found that the Timber Bear is harder to find and the recoil assembly is the weakest part on both saws. I love these old saws and want to see them continue to be used, so I try to help others do the same to the best of my abilities. Have a good one.

[@ctne4]

your videos are awesome ... take care from Canada ...... awesome ... thanks for showing us to tune up an old and new saw .. I have a couple of old red homelites .. xl 76 and a 35 ... both 20" bars and d70 Oregon chains .... love those 2 saws .... but I always had them too rich I guess .... now I set them up in the cut .. and wow ... totally different saws .. thanks to you .... take care my friend ...

[@jimstokley]

Hey Buckin' , Just now cutting these trees around the house that were blown down by Hurricane Michael . man that storm was devastating . saw your video on tuning your 10-10, I have a pro mac 700 and you're right these saws are fun to work and if you take care of the saw it'll last a long time.

[@chamness964]

Yeah I was on someone's else's channel and they mentioned you about how Great a person and how everything that you showed on your channel. They were just in awe how your techniques have helped them out. You are a truly and great person Buckin that's why I love to watch and be a sub on here. Thanks buddy for all you do.

[@wadewittman8510]

Shawn Stick Chamness great comment nice to see ya here.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

yeah rite Matt ,, thx

[@joncanary1229]

Thanks Billy, it is always nice to see an expert tuning his saw. I was turning the screws out on a Walpro the other night trying to figure it out. Thanks for the advice....

[@ralphcure127]

I have fine tuned my filing with your tips and technique! Among so many other things!! Thanks Buckin!!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

good show

[@tomcowell1519]

Tom from Iowa. Have and old McCulloch pro mac 610 that needed the carb. Adjusted this really helped. You rock.

[@darrenrhodenizer9431]

So true my filing has improved 10 fold with the rock the boat method. thanks so much Buckin.

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

Me also. I went from being scared to touch my saw with a file to thinking nothing of it and can do a quick filing in 5 mins now. Lol I use to wreck my chains and would just buy a new chain a couple of times a year and start fresh. Now no more! All thanks to Buckin.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thx and to your self for over coming that silly little fantasy called fear ,, well done you must feel great about this

[@darrenrhodenizer9431]

Richard clarke l used Buckin's filing tips on my chain before cutting hemlock logs about a week ago. It put a huge smile on my face feeling the wood chips fly😀

[@CTmoog]

Great Video Buckin! Thanks for sharing your skills!

[@larryduttry9400]

Great tuning advice Buckin, was on a job with a guy who cooked a ms460 because he tuned it waaaaay wrong. Good advice is hard to come by, on other channels, here it is part of Buckin's everyday ritual! Keep up the good work and be careful out there!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thx Lar , willl do

[@ACF6180T]

Sounds like You hit the wright note ! Ah! chainsaw music & the smell the smell of victory ! got love the old big power McCulloch The only thing I have close to it is my 1992 20"Timber Bear that I bought new in 92 & it still cutting strong in 2020. Thanks for the video.

[@myeyesropen8984]

Hey, Buckin. I am not a saw man at all I have cut wood once or twice just wanted to say hello and that I am a new sub to the channel I love to meet good honest people that like to share their life experience to help others.

[@ValiManeanu-sp7ex]

I have some old macs , 7 to be precise, also 3 Remington 2 old stihl and 2 pioneer. There is nothing in the world of saws to compare with old macs those before 1977-78 . Those are legendary, pulls like no others and screams like hell. I love my 10-10 series and the mcculloch 550 which is a monster

[@csdoutdoors7321]

Just bought 2 Mcculloch timber bears. First saws ever! And ran across this video can't wait to watch the rest! Keep it uo

Wow...that´s a nice power saw...runs smooth too... Showed my neighbor and good friend how I file a chainsaw chain..he has never learnt how to, just bought new ones as they got dull. 6 chains were hanging in his garage, almost not used. Sharpened all, hit the rakers and the guy tried one out..man o man was he happy! Showed him the "boat" and how to get out the gullet. Don´t think he will buy new chains for a while...great technique Billy! Got an old 064 ( I think it is) he didn´t use anymore for the job..works great..

Thanks for the welcoming. where about are you in pa larry? and buckin - I've definitely had my fair share of luck when I started lol. wouldn't have it any other way though. I'm 30yrs old, I feel double that most days, but no better feeling than strapping up and running a tree. Now 10 years into it, still gets my heart pumping like it's the first time. won't find many things in life that can do that. . .

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

NOPE

[@kboomarangfinch167]

I love that tuning technique, a really good demonstration that not only you see but hear, I'll giving it a whirl on Pop's old workhorse Remy from the early 70's, I don't use it often, but it's kinda like shaking his hand when I do.

[@wadewittman8510]

[@alexesgate8033]

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Very kool friend ,, and thx

[@speedandmarine9066]

Good tuning tips! They work on Stihls and husky's too, or anything that still has screws to adjust the carb!!! You know for sure it's tuned right when you have it loaded up in a cut to dial it in. Nice work again.

[@davestrahl77]

[@StockDude]

So yesterday I'm driving down my street and I see a BBQ pit sitting there for throwaway. Then I look down and see a black McCulloch chainsaw case sitting there, so I hit the brakes. I get out and open it, and there sits a Pro Mac "McCulloch Motors" Special Edition 3505AV-16. Not quite the beast that yours is in this video. But a nice find. I'll take it! It actually looks barely used except for the bar. But today I pour out the old gas, and fill it with some VP Fix-it-Fuel with Mechanic in a Bottle. First thing I noticed was no fuel into the primer bulb after pumping it. So I crank it anyway and on the 2nd pull it starts! But...............I then notice the clutch is engaged at idle.....not good.....but it revs up and sounds pretty good......but......then I try to prime it and the bulb got fuel.....but.....then the engine died. So I guess it's flooding???? Well, I've fixed my mowers, so here is another project. If anybody has any suggestions or comments, I welcome it.

[@markjoudrey7036]

great afternoon pickme up.looking forward to the next one.Thanks MJ

cheers

[@sidneyturner3427]

another great video. Thanks. one thing I've learned from you , its my chain and saw so why be afraid to try things, Since watching your videos I've thrown the file guides away and now I get the gullet and boy are the chips flying. Next it looks like I'll start tuning my own saws. Who knew !!!!! Life's good when you lose the fear.

Hey there Buckin! Subscribed a couple of months and really enjoying your channel and learning a bunch of stuff along this journey. I like the part about you not going to put up with a bunch of negativity! There are a lot of good folks on Utube givng a lot of their time to help folks like myself and i appreciate it. If i can't say anything good about someone i'll just keep my mouth shut! But you do have some i think that just go from 1 channel to the next just to give thumbs down and don't even know what the hell they are talking about. I think sometimes they don't even watch the video's. Just don't know about those kind. Anyway i am from N.C. in the states and am proud to call you a friend! Keep up the good work Sir!

[@Moroni108]

[@ghantechmobile5474]

Hey Billy Ray, lucked into a heavy McCullough chainsaw that says, "Factory Reconditioned" where the model would be. It was on the shelf of a local pawn shop for over a year. Was priced at $249.99 but they let me take it for $85 cash. Wouldn't crank or they couldn't greet it to crank so As-Is. I took it home, dumped the old gas and put in some 50:1 and 2 pulls she fired up. Cut some down trees and limbs about and hour. Awesome saw but it's large and kinda heavy. I like it so I guess I'll have to grt I the gym. I tried to add a pic here but won't let me. It's square shaped. Chain brake, ,rubber coated handle, has a blue choke on the back right and a green I'm guessing primer on the back left. Pull string on left side in front of the gas cap. Oil cap in front right side. Yellow and black in color.

[@donc81]

Great video buckin. I need to work on watching the rest of your old videos

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

THERE IS SOME GOOD ONES BUDDY

[@johnclarke6647]

I listen for my saws to four cycle, but just slightly. At WFO I want my saws to just start to break up ever so slightly. I also watch them with my tech and try to keep the rpm under 13,000 if I can. My saws are all Stihl and I have big ones and little ones. My favorite is y ms 271, even though it is one of my medium size saws. My bang around saws my ms180C and my MS-241CM. Good advice on chains. I hand file, too, and do it by the book. I check the rakers by eye. If they are below the top of the cutters by about spark plug gap - I leave them alone by if they are close to the top of the cutters - I give them all a few licks with the flat file.

[@rossziegler8167]

Say buckin Billy I have fixed up my grandfather's old mccullough pro mac 10-10 your carb adjustment videos were really good i just wanted to know how much to use the primer button for bar oil on oak and elm say a 20-8 inch log

[@markrisjan6792]

Thank you for showing how to tune the chain saw I love the videos

[@dereksando6605]

My new husky has autotune, so far, I N C R E D I B L E! I dont even have to adjust high low, I can literally hear the saw pick up rpm. I bought during cold temps about 10*F, grabbed a handful and heaved it into a chunk, it was slow and bogged for 2 bucks of the log then while cutting the 3rd it picked up 800 rpm and tore the rest the way through. I'm sold. used it once in the summer for a tree the neighbors needed down and it did the same. when i use it steadily during the week she runs great. I know buckin likes the old but some of this new tech is great.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thats good ta hear , I have heard mixed reviews , so thats positive thx

[@dereksando6605]

They have a goofy starting procedure that the "older fellas" have a hard time getting used to. It is a picky starter for sure. Choke on to fire it till she coughs, then move the switch off choke, then back on to choke, then off to where the saw will just run, that puts her in high idle. 3 pulls for my saw, gonna start hand filing a chain to see if I can get a difference between grinding chain and filin. Its all in the filin!

[@simpsonssawshop8149]

buckin, subscribed about a week ago. love the channel! and especially love the Macs. I have 5 myself but my favorite isnthe 10-10 automatic that dad bought new in the early 70's. out of 14 working saws its sti,, my favorite to run.

Awesome saw Billy.

[@shawndyer1249]

Buckin! You wild man! Thank you so much for the knowledge. I’m new to power saw game ( I say chainsaw, no big deal hehe) and have been practicing up on my neighbors hill where there is a flat that was over grown, anyway, it’s completely clean now. So my neighbor (Ralph) asked what got into me? I said I’ve been watching ol Buckin billy Ray. He paused as I explained who you are, then he told me to tell you thanks. So Thank you! Lol #getthegulit

Welcome new subscribers! Rewatching this video.! Got a 1-70 coming and was hoping for some reminders on tuning. That saw has a 3rd port induction so I am trying to find some info on that saw.

My Macs are so much happier since I've subscribed to your channel!

[@crazy4and1crazy4and1]

I fucking love you. Just bought a cheap saw and it was rly out of tune. Would turn itself of after cutting a piece and literally the sec I release the throttle it shuts off. This video helps a lot, because it's actually the sound that I'm looking for, in reference to how it acts. Great.
