McCulloch Mac 120 Chainsaw Engine Removal

[@johnkusturin3604]

One of if not the best video in explanation of taking a chainsaw apart very well done thank you

[@stevemaines4038]

A neighbour tossed a McCulloch Mac 120 in the trash and I was lucky to grab it before anyone else. I cleaned the exterior, added some gas/oil mix and she fired right up. The muffler is loose, and this video will help me with the steps to get to the muffler. Looks like only two bolts and I'm there. Thanks.

[@thememer4571]

Very helpful. Could not have done it without this video. Thanks you manic mender. Now my mac 120 works like new

[@budgillett9535]

I love chainsaw repair videos and watch lots of them. You, sir, have produced one of the very best I’ve seen. Very, very informative and to the point! GREAT job! Thank you!

[@liljohn830]

Just purchased myself an old Mac 110 (in VGC) for $50, and wanted to know how to take it apart to clean it etc. Perfect video! Cheers.

[@mikefriesdrums]

I love these little guys. They are not as difficult to work on as people claim.

[@kes7774]

It was a very helpful video. I also own a Mac 110. The carburetor wasn't working well and the engine didn't start, so it had to be overhauled. However, I just couldn't figure out how to remove the carburetor and couldn't repair it until now. By referring to this video, I can also repair it. Thank you.

[@redblazehorse]

Great Video- Now I don't have to remember where things go, I will just re-play your video. Thanks

[@UFOGEORGE]

Most impressive video and detailed presentation and commentary ! It's a real shame you did not keep up with bringing out videos. I hope everything is well and that we will see new videos comming through after all ! Best wishes !

[@BuiltNotBought5150]

Dude is good

[@naturundhund]

I also have a 120 and a 140 Mcculloch. Nice saw. Greetings from Germany Peter

[@devonfullerton8160]

This video helped me get it apart. But how on earth do I hook my throttle linkage back up??

[@livinnash7693]

That pull string mod😂 I just acquired a 160S and am getting started on getting her going. Thanx4 the vid. Helps quite a bit👍🏻

[@ColetonGeorge]

Thanks for the Video! First time Mac owner and my 110 started leaking fuel badly. This video was sure helpful!!

[@guygreenwell6493]

Can anyone please give me the sizes of the crankshaft oil seals for the mac 120. Internal & external diameters , also the width. I have looked for these on line but no luck, unless another model would fit. Thanks for a very informative & well presented video. The best I have seen.

[@TheWarbut13]

Today I found one of these MAC120 while cleaning out a customers rubbish . It was complete . I took it home , checked spark was good. Then used a squirt of fuel into carby and it ran for a second. I began to see how to take carby . I started pulling apart slowly . Ended up with it in bits and couldn’t get motor out of back case. Rang a guy I know who fixed mowers for a living . He said there is a good bloke on KZbin who will show you . Anyways I didn’t listen to him and kept going at it . I come so close to giving up and smashing it on the ground. Step by step I pulled apart carby and top diagram looked new. I used some compressed air to clean the carby . Refitted and cleaned coil and gapped. Slowly slowly it was going back together . Got to the stage where I could test start it . To my disbelief the engine started after four pulls . So it’s back together now but I have oil pissing out the bottom. I did guide the hose onto the tank . Anyone got any ideas? Do they crack the tank or is there a valve that gets stuck or hoses split etc . I’ll have another look tomorrow. Cute saw but absolute bitch to get to carby .

[@BuiltNotBought5150]

There’s a molded plastic barb type fitting at the bottom of both tanks. The one on the fuel side is the one that you can remove and also the one with the fuel line. Directly opposite that is the chain oil one, and it’s part of the tank. When pulling the tank and engine assembly, you’ll notice that they aren’t fixed to one another. With that said, the Molded sitting on the bar and chain side that holds the oil on the tank, slides into the Oiler port on the engine assembly. Once the tank and engine are loose from the housing the oil tank will likely not be matched up to that port. I’m putting it back together you have to keep checking and making sure that it’s staying in the correct position by peeking up underneath while you fiddle with getting all the other parts back together and that’s like needing four arms and eyes if you’re not super mechanically inclined and not equipped with the correct tools for each step moving forward. Good luck

[@GoFigure621]

Love the videos. I have A 110 that has no spark. I just want to break-it down to check the points and coil but it seems that parts are not available for this? A lot of work just to find out that you can’t get parts. Any comments are appreciated. Thank you snd great video.

[@kelvinsparks4651]

Great video and very informative thank you . I've been given a pair of 120's both with no spark so this has been a great help. Thank you .

[@waylonlegend4603]

I have a 130 with no spark. Did you find what was wrong?

[@kelvinsparks4651]

@@waylonlegend4603 I've only had time to get one up and running andd the problem with that one was the ignition condenser. I got a similar size new one from a car parts store and modified the bracket too fit and now it performs like new and starts in a couple of pulls . Hope this helps, good luck.

[@jeremymatthews2164]

Is there a video of you reversing the process? I took mine apart like you but things happen and 3 months passed. Now I can't remember lol

[@albertmorton4754]

I striped my Mc Culluck chain saw to replace new fuel lines now I am having trouble reassemble the handles and spring position .

[@tedmiller1745]

What spark plugs are the best for these? Link would help...

[@devonfullerton8160]

@manicmender do I know it's been 6 years but I'm desperate. Do you have a video re assembling the saw? I cannot figure out the throttle linkage for the life of me

[@jpaulo9490]

Super demonstration, thank you...

[@barrydiesing48]

The bar on my Mac 110 is 12" and sloppy. I cannot locate another replacement 12". Can I put a replacement 14" from Tractor supply on the 110 withot any problems? Also need a new bar securing bolt with better threads....suggestions? Thanx.

[@minkslabbers7886]

awesome video man! just bought a mac130 for 45€, looks like its in great condition, but it stalls and wont run properly so i have to take it apart. Much obliged!

[@jaymanxxxx]

I just replaced the crank shaft seals on my mc 140. it runs like a top.

[@ranchwagon500]

Thanks for the great how-to. I need a carb kit for my Eagerbeaver, it looks like the same one as in the video. Any idea of the part number?

[@lloydmartinez2330]

Great video so how can I get parts

[@lloydmartinez2330]

Where do I get parts for my chainsaw

[@ricardocYT]

I have a Mac 160s and found the parts diagram but how do I know if it uses a zama or walbro carburetor?

[@tonyrobbins6]

Good video. Why not remove the tank before removing the engine, that will also make it easier to remove and reattach the throttle linkage from inside the housing. That tab on the bottom is actually on the tank of the Mac Mini 35 which is almost identical to the 120. They didn't put the tab on the fuel line until after the Mac Mini 35. I also do not remove the aluminum handle nor remove the bolt by the spark plug.

[@ManicMender]

Hey, great question. I removed the tank with the engine in this video so people could see what it looks like assembled in the case, and so we could check for fuel leaks at the fuel line connection.

[@robbiej2805]

Can you do a clip on a 510 pro mac. Finding it difficult to get to condenser out. Cheers

[@ManicMender]

If you want to send me one. I don't have a 510 hanging around. Heck, I don't even have this 110 anymore.

[@robbiej2805]

@@ManicMender Bud i live in Australia. Im sure you'd have a better chance of find 1 there. And also do away with the points and put a electronic start on it.

[@remb9614]

I just got two of these saws and they need alot of parts. I hear they are not worth fixing. What is your opinion?

[@chrisradla]

Junk saw, poor design, no power. Another words by the time you take that turtle out of its turtle shell you could have other brand saw already fixed and tested

[@remb9614]

@@chrisradla yeah I lost interest in that project

[@sst568]

@@chrisradla Yep, I just tore down a Mini mac 6, must have been designed by 6 guys drinking in a crowded bar, turtle in a shell is correct, impossible to get back together.

[@universalmechanic5170]

I found one of these in a barn. 1978 and absolutely mint . Bar and case paint are like it was used once or twice and set down yesterday. I put fuel in it and she fired right up . Every part is original and nothing missing..it even has the bar sheath and scrench . I can't find anything on the internet that is nearly as nice to compare it to . Does anyone know what it could be worth? I may put it in an online auction it's so nice i can nearly appreciate it the way some fellas will. I posted it on craigslist barter for Rochester NY if anyone wants to check it out. She is purdy!

[@gtw9998]

Hi I am trying to find out about the McCullough Titan 7 I can not find any information about it on KZbin. Do you know of any. Thanks.

[@samdeblois643]

Great info but what's the trick to reconnecting the throttle linkage

[@MyKonaRC]

I just got one of these babies today, I don't have that "fuzz" on that air cleaner. I thought it was kinda funny there was only this metal mesh thing filtering the air.

[@annelafleur5057]

I have a mini mac 25 like new. what is it worth.

[@matthewsgraeme5943]

in the mcCulloch chainsaw how to put engine back and excelerator linked and spring , can you help

[@TheWarbut13]

Very fiddly to get back on. Used long nose pliers . Took me 3 goes but got it in the end. Put linkage on carby first then guide engine back in slowly and hook other end of linkage onto plastic end and use flat blade screw driver to push and clip it in place

Gazoline ou diesel?

What is being popped on the throttle

[@eduardopinto2478]

O motor trabalha normalmente durante 30 segundos e pára. No ralenti aguenta-se bem. É a alimentação que não chega ao carburador? O tubo não está entupido. O que está mal? Alguém pode ajudar p. f. Obrigado

[@joehojas181]

Hello could you help me.. i rebuilt the carburetor on my 130.. i noticed oil leaking from exhaust area.. what does that mean?? I got no start.. i haven't checked the points.. im no good with electrical..i also played with the throttle and idle screws and nothing..has clean fuel. It has spark..

[@remb9614]

Mine have the leaky exhaust too it will go away once its running. Try setting both hi and lo jets and idle screw 1 full turn out from all the way in tight. That should be enough to make it run. If it wont run, put a little fuel directly in the carb. If it runs on that and shuts off, you have a fuel delivery problem.
