Making progress on the McCulloch BP-1, but I need some parts....

Nope. These saws were one-offs, they weren't even produced a full year before being recalled, hence few replacement parts ever made it to market. They supposedly produced 10,000 or so, and recalled most of them back because of the possibility of runaway throttle.

 

Lol, got sidetracked. I'll go out to the shop in a bit and get some pics. Keep in mind, these parts aren't clean yet

 

Have you ever heard the phrase "rare as hens' teeth"? Lol

 

Are they on our forums? If not, do you have any contact info?

 

Mag Craft, here's pics of the parts I need repaired....

Small chip out of side cover needs welded and sanded flush...


Fine crack in backside of fuel tank needs welded. It leaks fluid. Non cosmetic.


Chunk missing from back corner of bottom piston chamber/case. Merely for cosmetics. I'll make the replacement piece, it will just need welded.


Worst part of all is the bottom handle mount on the gear case. The entire chunk is missing and will basically have to be built back up by layers of weld. There is also a crack associated with this missing piece and gear case oil leaks out of it. We'll probably have to open up the crack with a die grinder to clean it good so we can weld it. You can see brown epoxy from an old repair


This saw hasn't ran in at least 40 years, maybe longer. I bought it out of California, where I believe it was found in a junkpile. So I don't expect miracles, let me know if you think repair is possible. I will media blast all parts that need repaired prior to sending them out.

 

I may need to borrow a bar cover to copy. If yer willing to loan one out.

 

Thank you sir, I'll do that. Probably won't be til after the first of the year.

Do me a favor, keep an eye out for a carburetor. I think mine will function, but it's really rough inside......

 

I'm on that page too.
