Gac,
I was unable to locate the air filter sorry. Do you want to go ahead with the clutch?

Yeah for sure.For the amount of use it will get now it's "home"I can live with the current filter.Just would have been nice to start fresh.The whole project hinged on wether a clutch was available.Send a PM with the details.

 Hi to Bruce and everyone concerned,Great sucsess today as I finally received my carby kit for my Titan 50 saw,after a 4 week wait. After carfull dismantling and reassembly with new diaphrams and gaskets the big moment arrived.Loaded up with fresh fuel,I flicked the choke on,and on the third pull she came to life!!!Then I noticed the warning where the bar goes,(and after I stopped it),about not running the saw without a bar and chain. Hope running it for a short time (20 seconds ) doesn't do any damage,as I had to start it once more to double check it all wasn't a one off? Bruce,the clutch is all I need now to get her back cutting wood.Just need the postage costs. Hope to hear from you soon, Regards Greg

Bruce, Payment sent today.Check for a PM. I also tried a guy in QLD that deals in McCullock parts pre 2000 but no luck with the air filter again.Would it be possible to place something over the filter to boost its effectivness,or would that open another can of worms as far as performance went? Just a thought.Regards GAC

:(Hi bruce,
The clutch arrived in the mail as expected.There is one small problem,the threaded hole in the middle is too small.The original would be around an 8mm threaded hole whereas the one you suplied is approx 6mm (this of course is approximate as it will possibly be an imperial thread,if it was manufactured in the states).I can get the thread re-taped to suit no worries at my local engineering work shop,but is the clutch suitable for my saw??? A smaller output shaft size may be for a smaller capacity saw and a weaker clutch??? Overall the thing looks exactly the same except for the centre.Don't know where to go from here,any thoughts??
Regards GAC

Gac, As the saws operate at the same RPM it should not make any difference. The centre hole will be not be metric as McCulloch is imperial. If you can get the centre hole drilled out and tapped the clutch will work ok.  The supplier of the clutch (Genuine) advised me that it was correct according to the picture that you posted as well as the part number that I supplied.

Howdy! I would not throw it away. The more work you do on it, the closer you get to understanding the machine; and others. Cheap machines can work very well if you you look after them and take the time to reset them for optimum performance. A lot of dudes restore old machines, even the cheaper ones. You may be able to pick up a second hand one for $7 at a community market; not going, for spares. Also look at some hard trash gear in your local area, at specified times. I met a guy the other the day that purchased a ship container load of various old chain saws etc. Even if you loose money, it is great to see your project running! I suspect you may have a pop off pressure problem. You really need to understand your own machine when dealing with older 2 stroke engines. Cheers and good luck!

Hi everyone just an update to say the saw still runs fine and starts, most times ,first pull.Just not enough trees around my home to have an excuse to pull it too often and fire it up. This is great site.Cheers GAC
