In this video we will fix a fuel leak on a McCulloch Pro Mac 700 chainsaw owned by Bert from Berts Custom Cuts RU-vid channel. We will also dive into the carb for a refresh. #smallenginerepair @BertsCustomCuts
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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?
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.
@@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.
