McCulloch 250 Oiler Repair

[@65895555]

Thanks for the work around on the duck bill gas cap.

Sounds strong. Low and high are dialed in perfect and i like where you have the idle set. Bbq paint looks great on those bars with a coat of oil for gloss. Sand bar, wipe with alcohol. Heat metal with heat gun, apply paint, heat again. They also look good with the tips painted krylon 'sun yellow '-- from tip back, on a forty degree angle.

Very nice chainsaw, 87 cc I think, runs great. Well done.

404 chain. She sounds very good and no smoke. I own one, a 10-10 A and a ported 310 step child

[@thankswillie]

going to do a test cut,with the 200,without bar plates(cant find any),i did use the permatex motoseal on those oring style seals inside the fuel tank...thanks again!!

[@jkgkjgkijk]

You might be able to use aftermarket Mac 10-10 plates. They look the same. I have both saws. I have plates on both.

I have a McCulloch 250, Thank You for posting this information. Where do you get the cone shaped seal and gaskets?

[@j.k.mcclead9207]

The cone shaped o-ring is part of the “plunger assembly”, I salvaged one from a dead 1-43. The 1-40, 1-50, 200, 250, 300, series and most other 80-87ccc saws in this form factor have the same plunger

[@thankswillie]

i put mine together (dry) with new gaskets,did you use any gasket cement/sealer?...also got my oiler working

[@j.k.mcclead9207]

I use a very thin coating of “Motoseal” on most of the gaskets I install, especially the split-type fuel tanks.

[@thankswillie]

hey jk,i finally gave up on the flatback for my 300,,saw runs great ounce you get it going,,,i ordered a HL63E w/an adapter plate,but not sure if its the right plate,?,could there be many different...thanks and waiting for your next vid

[@j.k.mcclead9207]

It Should be correct, just make sure the pulse hole is correctly aligned and you should be good to go.

[@acoustics450]

Hi, your video is very helpfull! Can you please tell me where you found the new gaskets?

[@j.k.mcclead9207]

eBay. Part #65580 is the tank gasket and Part# 65654 is the gasket for the stuffer plate side.

[@curtisdalrymple7488]

Where did you get the gaskets and new plunger

[@j.k.mcclead9207]

The gaskets I fleaBayed, part # 65654. The plunger I removed from another dead 80cc saw. The 1-40, 1-50, 200, 250, 300, series and most other 80-87ccc saws in this form factor have the same plunger.

[@curtisdalrymple7488]

@@j.k.mcclead9207 ok thankyou

[@thankswillie]

200 is the same,, plunger assembly available?

[@j.k.mcclead9207]

Yes. The 200 and the 250 are practically identical. The 250 just has a few cosmetic upgrades like a vinyl coated handle on some models.

[@thankswillie]

@@j.k.mcclead9207 haven't got mine apart yet,but leaks externally,,,maybe just the o-ring,,if it needs a cup...any ideas?

[@j.k.mcclead9207]

@@thankswillie The cone shaped o-ring is going to be a tough find. According to the IPL, the plunger and o-ring came as an “assembly” Part # 63122. And a “cup” # 24104a

[@thankswillie]

@@j.k.mcclead9207 yes i have the parts list from leon,maybe someone has a substitute or gerry-rig something...
