  • Here we dive a little deeper in our Mac 120 chainsaw. In this video, we tear down to the block, removing the carb, flywheel, clutch, ignition coil, and talk about some key maintenance and inspection points.

    How refreshing to have something explained by someone who thoroughly understands what they're talking about. None of this making half of it up as I go along then digressing into an unrelated shaggy-dog story rubbish from you sir! Top marks all around (as well as for Part 1) plus extra credit for pointing out the potential pitfalls along the way; especially the not so obvious stuff. Details like that half-hidden spring, those double washers on the carburettor and the correct orientation and seating of the seals and cover in the points, etc. are easily overlooked (or even completely missed) particularly the first time around and are both time-consuming and frustrating to troubleshoot when you do. You really should do more of these videos; you're a good teacher.

    Great video! Watched “part 1” first. Helping my father-in-law with his 110. This is identical to his and now I can go back through it for a much more thorough refurbishment. Thanks!

    As a retired foreign car mechanic I have to say this the best engine tear down video I've seen yet, and I've seen a few. Nothing slip-shod about this presentation. He's obviously put in a lot of time into making it as clear and understandable as possible so that even someone without a lot of mechanical experience will get it.

    I have a frozen up Mac 120 that I got almost for free out in the shop. I have the cylinder full of Marvel and will get to it after I finish rebuilding a Stihl hs45 that I picked up in similar circumstance. I love my little MAC 32-16. I call it One Pull Charlie, because it usually starts in one pull. After cranking my big Stihl saws the little Mac is a doll. Thanks for the disassembly information on the 120. I will get around to it this spring when it warms up.

    Thats probably the reason I lost my spark I tightened that screw super tight that holding one of the points.

  • @johnclarke6647
    @johnclarke6647 Před 6 lety +2

    Most points run .016 to .020 gap. If I do not know I set them at .016. Points arm is also probably made from a phenolic compound.

  • @JakePlisskin12
    @JakePlisskin12 Před 2 měsíci

    Man I just bought a brand new looking mini mac 120 for 25 bucks with the case 3 chains. The bar is barely even worn. And then just today I bought a a almost mint furry Eager beev for 20 bucks with two chains. The original bar is bearly even scratched. Both start 3 or 5 pull. I'm Syked becuase the first two I have looked like to got pounded on by the entire town. The 25 I have took me a while to realize the clutch drum rim sproket was blown out. Was so hard to move the chain. Took me forever to figure that out. I just didn't even think about it. Nice video though. Not to many mini macs vids

  • @jameskrivitsky9715

  • @jgibs81683
    @jgibs81683 Před 6 lety +1

    I have the same chainsaw that leaks gas. I was assuming it’s the gas line (which is still may be), but after watching your video I think it might be as simple as that o-ring. Any idea the size of that o-ring? If not, you thing I’d be able to find it in one of those mixed bags of o-rings and rubber washers?

    Hey I was taking apart mine to clean the carb and after a few pulls it won’t pull good with the spark plug inserted, but when it’s out it pulls normal. I need help!!!

  • @FULLMETALCAR
    @FULLMETALCAR Před 3 měsíci

    Do you need to take the handle off to pull the engine out or just the bolts under the saw behind the air filter the tab under the saw and the bolt by the trigger and the front cover bolts

  • @tedmiller1745
    @tedmiller1745 Před 2 lety

    Question... I picked up a pair of 110's but it does not have the black plate under trigger. What is the difference in 110's besides auto? This just looks like an Eager Beaver. Thanks for the help.Finally, what spark plugs should I run in these?

    I picked up a 120 for $20. It has a frozen cylinder. I have the cylinder soaking in MMO right now. I figure it needs new seals and bearings, plus a cylinder and rings. I figure some idiot let it sitting in the rain. It is second in line on my bench. I have a Stihl Hs 45 to rebuild before I get to the 120. The HS 45 has a similar problem - left in the rain. It has a growling bearing but pulls over, fine.

  • @spartinaspartini
    @spartinaspartini Před 2 lety

    Hi I am writing to you from Italy, they gave me an old Mcculloch 120 chainsaw, I did a restoration, but I have a problem with the piston rings. I removed the piston to replace the rings, but now I don't know how to put them back because the piston does not have a pin (stop / fixed connection point for the rings). I knew that in 2-stroke engines, the rings can rotate on the piston and break at a cylinder exhaust port. So what do you advise me? In what position should they be placed? Thanks.

    The isolation washer is probably phenolic.

    Hi MM, hi, can you still get new or used gas tanks for a 120? I'm asking because I have one I'm trying to rebhab and all seems good so far but I wonder what's the chance that the gas which has been in there for decades, I think, clogging up whatever is in the bottom of the gas tank. I flushed the gas tank w WD-40 waited and a brown lacguer comes out but very slowly.
