Question I have Mcculloch 10-10 promac saw Probably 25yrs old or so? I was getting no fuel to carb.So i went to chainsaw dealer asked said to put rebuild kit got a Walbro carb.kit He looked at carb so i know its right kit. i put together but do not know if right.I had no directions.I think somethings messed up?
Now i'm getting to much gas it seems to be running right though carb and out the muffler and when i check plug its way to wet.I've looked on net trying to find directions on how to rebuild and had noluck. The dealer wanted 50-60 bucks to rebuild and saws not worth that much so i hoped i could get it right? I really need a page on how carb goes together that i could see ?Hope you can head me in right direction.Thanks for the help Dale Koenigsknecht
Answer I can't point you in any specific direction for the information but I think you have assembled the needle & seat and diaphram incorrectly. This would allow the carb to flood the engine. The kit should have come with an assembly diagram for the carb. If not, ask the dealer if he can provide one or go to Walbro's website and ask. Hope this helps.
