mac 335

[WoodED]

came across an old mcculloch mac 335 kicking about in the shed, it wont start and one of the springs on the handle has snapped,

is it worth finding parts for or shall i bin it

Take the muffler off and look at the piston - if it is scored - 9 times out of 10 it is, then ebay it for spares - £25 roughly. If the piston is ok then the spring will be a couple of quid - I have probably got one somewhere and checking the spark and fuel wouldbe the next step.

 

If it is running it is worth £50 - £65 depending on overall condition.

 

Are they any good? Typical home owner saw, a poor mans MS170/180 and would be blown away by anything from Stihl/Husqvarna in the 45cc range.

 

I have personally given up on repairing these as they are worth bugger all and it really isn't worth the time working on them unless it is for a friend or neighbour!
