Hi, Can any one help me with a McCulloch Eager Beaver chainsaw, I cannot find any model or serial numbers on it, probably just not looking in the right place. It would be more then 30 years old and described as a 14 or 15 inch saw.

It's never let me down other then a few small problems (if you shut it off or run out of fuel it gets a vapour lock in the fuel line and won't start for at least 30 minutes, but I need a break any how.) but the last two times I have gone to use it I started before I left, got to the log and it would not start. Brought it home and cleaned the air filter and it started and ran as always, got to the log next day it would not start. Left it for a few weeks and had a look at it yesterday, took the jets out and sprayed a little carbie cleaner through them (it looks like you have to split the outer case to remove the carbie). Saw started first pull, don't remember it ever doing that before, ran reasonably well I warmed it up and adjusted the low and high mixture. Started the saw a couple of times and it ran and idled with rapid acceleration.

Would not start today, pop or fired but would not run.

I am open to suggestions but if anyone has any information about the machine itself or a parts list for the carbie, (that's where I will start) it would be greatly appreciated. With any luck it is a standard Walbro or Tillitson and I can get a kit for it.


If I can get a large enough hammer it will run for awhile just trying to get away from me
