McCulloch Pro Mac 700 Leaks Fuel

That exhaust has a beautiful crack to it, love it! Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

You're welcome.

[@drmikeyb1]

I know you're been doing this a long time but you make it look so easy. I wish I had just an ounce of your mechanical talent. Thank you for another great video. Take care brother

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Thanks. I guess all I can say is that the longer you do it the easier it seems to do.

[@drmikeyb1]

@@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.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@drmikeyb1 Being honest with the customer is more important than BSing them and taking cash for something that isn't fixed. It just takes time.

Love the sound of those old saws

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I got to hear it again yesterday. Bert brought it back with a coil problem and of course it needed a decent test run.

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.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

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.

[@alanshaw6161]

I wish you would have let it run a little longer. I love those old saws.😀

[@BertsCustomCuts]

I will be doing a video with it soon.

[@TopD90]

Great Fix Scott! Love those old McCulloch's...!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Yep, cool saws.

[@BertsCustomCuts]

Thanks Scott. Ill be putting it in some wood and doing a video with it soon.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Good deal!

[@steveriggenbach90]

Not your first, but first one for channel. Glad you addressed the soft fuel line. I saw a line when dry was great. When wet it became a noodle and collapsed. Great video.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Didn't give it any thought but I think you're right. First Mac.

[@MArcinPaszek94]

gotta love the mcculloch sound

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Ya I would fire it up now and again just to add the proper ambience to the shop. I get tired of listening to surging four strokes that are all in at 3600 rpm.

I wish my local shops would address older stuff sometimes, everyone around here would much rather sell you a new saw and its obvious

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I always find it funny when I hear that. There is way more money in repairing vs selling new.

Ageed. Gotta try.

That runs sweet great job

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Ya it sounded good.

[@homopit42]

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 have a old 510 mcculloch chain saw but cant finish restoring it. there is a little fuel nipple on the bottom side of the fuel tank and cant find it any place.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I wish I had one for you.

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

Sweet repair. BTW, it's viton not vitron.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Thank you for that correction. What is it, like a blend of plastic and kryptonite?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I took a minute to read a few paragraphs about viton. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

[@gobangs1117]

I remember as a small child McCulloch was " the " chainsaw, what killed it?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I'm not up to speed on mac history.

[@outboardfixer]

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

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

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?

[@tomasznumrych7187]

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]

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

[@nightshadefern162]

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.

[@JourneyOfIdleHands]

Where can I find one of those carb holders?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I'm gonna make a bunch and offer them if I feel I can at least break even. What would you consider a fair price?

[@JourneyOfIdleHands]

@@TheGreasyShopRag I would pay $25 for one without hesitation.

[@JRHAWK9]

I have a barely used 10-10S that leaks just like this.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I wonder what the factory was expecting for life expectancy on that original gasket?

[@JRHAWK9]

@@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.
