Flywheel came off ok. Recoil spring was covered in crap so cleaned it off in petrol and reassembled. It still seems a bit tired and slow to rewind but I can't find anywhere to buy just the spring without the pulley etc. I also will need a fuel line for it as it isn't sealing in the fuel tank so I shudder to think what state it is in along the rest of it. Any ideas where to look for these online? :001_rolleyes:

 

 

i would have thought that you'd get more/snappier recoil if you put another turn on the spring with the starter cord. For fuel line I'd measure outside / inside diameter then bite the bullet and buy a roll of tygon or oregon on ebay - painful but will do many saws/tools to come - don't buy cheap fuel line - very false economy

Given up on the McCulloch Titan 50 for now, it runs and oils but is leaking fluids a bit - needs more work:001_rolleyes:

 

Got the seal back in the MS660, fiddly little bugger - would have been easier with a chamfer on the crank shaft where the seal slides on but thats life. Found a method that works and now got a decent seal and it passes checks:thumbup:

Fuel line is only like £1/ft Felix, just take a bit to a dealer and ask them for some more

It's all one moulded bit which is also the plug which seals the fuel tank so it's that or nothing unfortunately. :001_rolleyes:
