Chain moves when trying to start
Either the sprocket bearing is dry or has broken up, or the clutch spring has broken, either way you need to remove the side cover, bar and chain, if the drum does not turn freely it is the bearing in the centre giving problems, you should also be able to see the clutch and springs from here, check there condition.
Chain came off
Loosen the bar and if there is an adjustment screw, turn it so the bar moves in the direction of the motor. Slip the chain back into its groove and turn the adjustment screw in the other direction until the chain is at the proper tension. Tighten the bar.
Chain has come off how
The chain drive links may well be damaged now, it may need a new chain, however,if it has a chainbrake make sure this is off by pulling the hand guard fully back to the top handle,wind the chain adjuster fully back, remove the the side cover nut and remove the side cover, push the guide bar fully back, loop the chain over the drive sprocket, and lay it into the guide bar rails ( the cutters on the top bar rail should face away from the saw ), refit the side cover, if the adjuster pawl is in the cover make sure it aligns with the hole in the guide bar, fit the bar nut finger tight, adjust the chain so as it fit snuggly all round the bar, with a gloved hand pull the chain around the bar to ensure it it is sitting in the sprocket and rails properly, re adjust the chain if it has come lose, now fully re tighten the bar nut. If you fit a new chain there will be an amount of initial stretch, so re tention after a few cuts.
Can you help me.
My "trigger"
I was able to make my own by going to the local hardware store and buying 2 nylon parts and doing some careful milling/filling. The following dimensions were checked against an original EM14e trigger. These instructions may or may not work with other McCullough Chainsaws, but they worked for me!
1.) buy a nylon thumscrew with a 3.20mm (.125 in) outer diameter and 13.2mm (.5 in) THREADED length (overall length varies depending on type of flat head used for thumbscrew and overall total length will likely exceed 18mm or .75 in)
2.) a nylon spacer .25in length and .125in inner diameter that I cut in half and used a shop grinder to loosely fit onto a mounting nail. I used the shop grinder to gently mill down to 8.7mm outer diameter by slowly pressing the spacer/nail combo against the grinder wheel.
I then tested in the EM14E handle to check for fit and after several trips to the grinder for the spacer, it works great.
3.) After checking for fit I glued the thumscrew and spacer together and am now able to use the trigger. Please note if you have a working loose fit for the trigger, do what I have and simply use masking tape to keep the trigger with the chainsaw so it does not get lost.
Where can I buy a fuel priming bulb, vinyl/soft
You can go to the carburetor manufacturer's website and look for parts. You will need the numbers of the carburetor in order to get the correct one. Alternately, you can go to a mower shop near you and they should be able to get you one or point you to a place that will have the part you are looking for.
Removing a link to shorten...stretched
It is never a good idea to shorten a chain, if it has stretced that bad you need to replace it, or it will snap, the chain does not have a joiner, you would need to break the chain, and re rivet a new pre set tie strap.
I have a Mcculloch electric
This is a full strip, and split side covers to get to the pump, this may well be a job for the local repair agent, having been apart it should then be PAT tested to ensure the double insulation it still good.
How do I assemble the
Start by removing the bar nut/nuts, and remove the side cover, if the chainbrake is in the cover make sure this is off by pulling the hand guard fully back to the top handle, before removing the side cover, wind the chain adjuster screw fulley in toward the rear of the saw ( it may be in the crankcse, or in the side cover ) now assemble the guide bar onto the bar bolt/bolts, loop the cutter chain over the sprocket,and into around the tip of the guide bar, and into the bar rails, make sure the sharp end of the cutters on the top of the guide bar are facing away from the saw ( the chain rotates clockwise as you look at it ) now align the adjuster hole in the bar with the adjuster pawl on the machine, now re fit the side cover, if the adjuster pawl is in the cover make sure this lines up with the adjuster hole in the bar, assemble the bar nut/nuts finger tight, adjust the chain so as it touches all the way around the guide bar ( not sagging on the bottom of the bar ) with a gloved hand pull the chain around the bar to make sure it is free and sitting in the sprocket correctly, re adjust the chain if required, now lift the nose of the bar and fully tighten the bar nut/nuts
I have a Mcculloch 48
There are vey few different makes of carb, Tillitson, Walbro, Zama are the main manufacturers, take the make and model from the carb and approach any good chainsaw shop. they should carry most popular diaphrams.
