Felixx's little chainsaw

[felixx]

So  few years ago I acquired a little chain saw. It was seized I was told.

 

Perhaps a McCulloch mini mac 3 or 6

Very similar to this one.

It sat in my shed after I poured ATF/acetone mix in the spark plug  hole and left it after it was still siezed

[felixx]

There it stayed until yesterday when it fell off the shelf.  And its handle broke.

I stripped it down and found its clutch had smashed and it wasnt siezed.

I put fresh fuel and a dash of ether in the carb and it ran for 10 sec

[felixx]

Anyway then the pull start jammed and the only way to access it was by removing the motor.

So I have stripped it down.

I epoxied the handle together too 

Fingers crossed it holds

 

However I cannot figure out how to connect the throttle linkage while the engine is in place. And cannot get the engine in place with the linkage connected

So my challenges are

1) reassemble... youtube may help

2) source a clutch

3) prune prune prune

[felixx]

This runs.

Is smokey as farq

Wont rev hard but as half the clutch is missing thats not a priority just yet.

Hi team..

Looking for clutch/flywheel and manual oil pump spring for this thing. 

does anyone know of someone thay stocks vintage parts

[tortron]

lots of parts on ebay. postage is lots tho

[yetchh]

Yeah, there's heaps of parts in the states for us made stuff. But who knows how long it'll take to be delivered. Last thing I bought at the beginning of the year to 7 weeks.

2-3 weeks for the stuff I have gotten recently. But might be better looking for a complete saw here

Is this the thinking that has lead you to own 10 Dr200s at once?

[tortron]

basically that, because i can just buy whatever cheap  bike and have enough parts to get it going and sell for max profit

$30 a side cover, $100 a wheel

 

or $400 for a whole bike
