After seeing dozens of videos, searching for hours on the net, ordering a new carb, and disassembling my carb 100 times. Your video showed me my problem. I had replaced my hoses and installed them wrong. ****Thank you!!****
I have multiple serious chainsaws, but one of my favorites is my little Mac 3216, identical to yours. It is well over 20 years old yet still runs and cuts great. I recently rebuilt the carb for the first time ever because it wouldn’t idle properly or hold a tune. The metering diaphragm was a bit stiff just like yours, and so I easily replaced it (for $5). Afterwards it idles and revs perfectly again. These little old obsolete 32cc Home Depot McCullochs are still bulletproof little workhorses. I bought mine new for $89 22 years ago and its been through several 9”, 14”, and 16” bars as well as multiple chains, doing the dirtiest jobs on my 8acre wooded property. It just keeps on begging for more, and has been more dependable than my Stihs or Husqvarnas. It is my light-weight, go-to, never-let-me-down saw for stump grinding, limb-trimming and even tree felling. I would’t sell mine for all the money in the world. For $10 you got a real “steal”. Dr. K.
@@HomeGaragechannel Own 2 MS1435"s (38cc"s) . These are GREAT saws! another weakness can be the bar studs stripping out. try not to over tighten them as replaceing them has you dissasembling as you did in this video. obsolete now parts can still be found on ebay for these. paid $79.00 new for 1 of mine at menards some 20+ years ago. Yes, I have a large stihl, but prefer the macs.
My local repair shop told me it would be a six week turnaround to fix my chainsaw. As I was walking out the guy looked in the gas tank and said the fuel lines were trashed. I asked if was an easy fix and he said not really. I found this video, bought parts from the local shop and in a couple of hours later my saw was running. This video helped tremendously. Be careful with the throttle trigger when taking the case apart! Take pictures because it will fall out.
What a clear and concise video.No unneeded comments or information that is not relevant to the problem. Clearly one of the best I have viewed. Thank you for your time and for sharing your expertise.
I can’t imagine how you could have improved this excellent video. Manuals are near impossible to find online and this was the only place I found telling me where the fuel lines go. Thank you for such a useful video.
Murphys law. I got just enough out of your first video to figure out with trial and error how to put it back together. The next day this came up. Very happy to say that my chainsaw started first pull. Thank you, thank you, thank you. There is an army of head scratchers out there that will be most grateful for your tutorial.
Thanks for your video. I have an old McCulloch chainsaw unused for many years. The fuel ines had pretty much disintegrated. Without your video it would have been challenging to fix. New fuel lines as you described and it is working like a treat. Thanks
My Mac 3200 saw ran a few seconds and then stalled. Would not stay running. Carb seals looked ok. Found main fuel line brittle and snapped at entry to fuel tank. Replaced all fuel lines, carb foam filter, and start primer plunger. Now saw is running fine. Very clear, helpful video and to the point. Was going to throw away my saw but keeping it now. Repair cost: $8 with Amazon kit and 1.5 hours work. Thank you!
Excellent video! I have an old MS1635 with the CS38 engine. Wouldn't start and I just stuck it on a shelf and have been using my Echo 14". Finally thought I would try to get the McCulloch started, and found broken fuel lines (and oiler line) everywhere. This video is EXACTLY what I needed to understand what to do next. Thanks!
Awesome!...You da Man!....I just took out my dad's 2002 18" MS1838AV/CS 38 Em that was used probably once and has just been sitting all this time (19 years) to find the purge bulb just crumbled when pressed and after further inspection so had the fuel lines and air filter.I've only become a "handy" diy'er later in life thanks to videos like yours.Now if I can only find all the correct parts online and duplicate what you did here I'll have a practically new chainsaw and can stop struggling with my Remington electric 10" pole saw.Thanks!!!
@@HomeGaragechannel Thanks again!...and again.....and again...I just replaced the fuel lines and primer bulb and she's running like a champ (other than a slight stall in the chain rotating after pulling the throttle trigger, but I can live with that for now), but I did notice the oil line was also missing.I put it away for the night and saved some videos to watch tomorrow that may (or may not) help, but just curious if that oil line is the same size as the fuel lines and is it as "easy" a fix or will there be more complications accessing it and replacing it?
Excellent series, for anyone wondering, a Power Mac PM 145 appears to functionally be the same saw under a different name, as I used this series to redo all the fuel lines on my PM 145 with great success, saw is finally running again after all the lines fell apart when I replaced the primer bulb. 😂 👌 Thanks for the awesome video Home Garage!
Outstanding video. It's exactly what I'm going to do. Because I'm not mechanically inclined, perhaps in future, identify the type and size of tool being used and the size of the fuel line. I got my parts i.e. fuel filter from the small engine repair shop. Had no idea McCulloch was sold years ago to Husqvarna. Thanks again !!
thank you Robert Waller, I used to state the tools I used and other pertinent information but the problem is that there are so many variations of the same equipment that they are not uniform. So what I end up with are angry messages saying I stated the wrong tool. So I leave it up to the viewers to make that determination themselves.
Just found this April 2021. Perfect solution for me! Many Thanks for your clear even paced video. For others, I cut my gas line the right length. I would have cut it another 1" longer to make it easier.
this video was very informative because I got a 3200 coincidentally from my uncle and I have parts arriving and tomorrow for it and thank you for great content and your videos are always helpful for when I'm fixing something and need a reference for it.
I'm pretty sure I picked up this same model used bout a week ago. Used it once then some trouble keeping it running after I added new fuel this weekend so I really appreciate this vid as I may need to do some minor tuneup work. Great vid & Thanks!...
I just found a mc culloch 839 under my stairs and I was delighted as I had just gave my old chainsaw to my local Lawnmover/chainsaw mechanic who rang me to say the chainsaw was no more good when I went to use my new chainsaw I discovered the primer pump was in bits it could only happen to me if it wasn’t for bad luck I’d have no luck but your video has restored hope I can get it fixed it’s practically brand new
Smashing job!! I have two 14" Macs and two Mac hedge trimmers that have (From memory) split fuel lines, Watching this video has made me want to get them out of the shed and fix them!!, Many thanks for a great npair of informative vids 👍😎
The wire to the kill switch also has grooves that they go through. I found out the hard way. Thanks for the video. Easy to follow, plus I had to take the fuel tank off to change the oil line Under the tank.
I just got through doing the same thing to a MAc 3216 that I picked up several weeks ago. I also did much of the same things you did to your little Mac. One word of caution when working on the pto side. I cleaned the sprocket and lubed the sorocketbearing but I must have been a little careless with the grease on the sprocket bearing because some got on the crankshaft and the clutch would not seat on its tapered part of the crank. I had to take it apart and clean up the clutch and crankshaft with break cleaner. It then seated, properly, and turned the sprocket. I did rebuild the carb, a C1Q, Zama, while I was at it. I now call it OPC, for One Pull Charlie. One problem I had with the 3216 was the idiot that had previously owned it had replumbed the fuel lines and had them all wrong. It is correctly plumbed, now.
Thanks for this video about the hose replacement on your Mcculloch 38cc saw. The only difference with my Mac 3818 is the 18" chain; yours has a 14" which is probably a better length for that size motor. I gave up the struggle and got a 52CC "Husky" for use around the farm. Now to change the lines and bulb on the Mac and see if I can get it running after all these years in the shed.
Great video. Straight forward step by step fix. Great resolution as well....now product another on fixing the Mac 3516 automatic chain oiler. Thx again
TYVM for this Video. Even a small repair shop wouldn't try to fix my 3516. Said parts to difficult to get. What a joke. I ordered the parts replacement on amazon. Arrived in 2 days. Used your video to replace lines and diaphragms. Starts and Idle on first try.
Thanks for the great information. my brother gave me a mcCulloch chainsaw because it wasn't running, so now i feel like after seeing your videos part #1&2 i can fix this chainsaw. Thank you
I was clearing out my dads barn 2 months back and found this chain saw buried in the back in its black case. The bottom was full of chain oil where the seal gave out. It’s been there for nearly 20 years. Today I couldn’t get my Stihl 290 to start so I thought I’d give the Maccat a shot. It started right up.
@@HomeGaragechannel I was think about sending it to a repair shop but the maccat was so much more lighter and comfortable to use, I wonder if I just need to “retire” the stihl.
Getting ready to start this project In a few minutes. 1:33 AM 7/21/2021. Already apart. Carb been soaking In berrymans. Not going to take it apart yet. Great video and clear explanation on what lines go where. And Go.
Done at 3AM. All fuel lines were brittle as a Taco shell. All good now. My friend gave me this saw over 10 years ago. First problem was the spark plug being to long, and the piston hitting it. Put the right plug in, and replaced the primer bulb, and fuel lines. Now I have two operating chain saws, with about 10 bucks invested. Thanks again Sir.
I watched your video and had the fuel lines and primer bulb replaced in less than hour in a Mac 3216 . Biggest holdup was trying to find my torx screwdrivers. lol Thanks for posting this excellent video. :-)
Chain saw (MAC 3200) wouldn't start, purchased rebuild kit with filters, hose, primer, new spark plug etc. Followed the video instructions and it started up as soon as I put fresh gas in and 2 or 3 pulls. Great idea how to install the fuel supply and return hose through the gas tank holes by cutting the hose at an angle and pulling it through. Thank you!
I was the 500th like!!! I have the identical saw and am putting a primer bulb in this week, your video is fantastic and the explanation of primer bulb, fuel lines, and which goes where was very helpful, many thanks!!
Well damn it....i had all my lines the wrong way around and this video helped immensely. Thanks so much and regards from Andy from Aussie Homestead NSW Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘
I put the 24 year old mcculloch together and she is running on second pull! I tried to be sure of fuel line connections as you stated. Mine moves fuel but never pumps up to full bulb, think its normal? Could you re-verify the fuel line connections please. Would it move fuel and run if I crossed them? Thanks for your help and 5 at-a- boys for your channel I have two brothers watching learning and subscribing.
@@tedmiller1745 i have a damn near zero hr MacCat 38& just put all new hoses on oil & fuel and filters.....new clutch too!! Would sell it...dont need it. Pix on request.
Very well made video. I would have thoroughly CLEANED all the components before putting it back together. Even a small fleck of sawdust or dirt in the carby or fuel lines can create an enormous headache. Cleaning all the outer components also helps with cooling when you live in a hot climate like I do.
Thanks for the informative video.. I gotta say, My Mac was, and still kinda is, close to being thrown off a cliff.. lol.. I'll go over it again, after watching this, and hopefully, get it going again..
@@HomeGaragechannel Thank you so much , should have it working by Saturday morning this weekend. Yessss I have all the parts coming together. Blessing's 😎
A coworker years ago brought in a small McYellow, one that you have to dismantle the whole thing because it quit. Seems like it was an 'Eager Beaver', just s dinky thing. I started tearing it down and found out the fuel line was shot but it was winter and too cold to haul concrete and me and the other driver were in the batch house, maybe 12 x 12. The coworker came in after delivering his load of concrete stone to see if I knew what the trouble was and I purposely scattered it all over the building. He about had a stroke when he saw it but I got him to go get me a chunk of fuel line and had it back running in a short while. I couldn't do it now but it was sure fun then. Thanks and Blessings!
Hermosa la McCulloch. Tengo la misma aquí en Arg y es sensacional. Y pensar que es del año 96 y sigue funcionando. Un producto extraordinario sin dudas
McCullouch chainsaws remind me of National Lampoon’s Christmas vacation. How Clark Griswald has gone crazy and sawed up part of the wooden stairway railing to ‘fix it’
Thank you Tomas De Paz for the comment. I'm glad you like it. I'm still on the fence about 10 minute videos as I'm not set up for it. I'll try to make them enjoyable.
Thank you very much for your instructional videos. I found my fuel line was deteriorated and the filter had fallen off. Needless to say, that was the reason my saw would not start. Now I need to locate the correct parts, make repairs and get it running again.
@@HomeGaragechannel I have not reassembled yet, waiting on carb kit but this question could be asked in general for all my two stroke equipment i wondered is low for best low ide and high for smooth running while a max power? Always wondered the proper way to adjust.
@@monkyshine5543 yes it's more of a enough fuel for smooth idling and full throttle. Proper adjustment is done thru experience. Some people use rpm meters to help visualize how its running.

you are absolutely correct. Thank you Jim S for the comment I appreciate it
Look up the brand "Tallon"
Same saw. May be able to source parts under that name.
Now show the chain adjustment and a link to these carb parts. Thanks for the vid, showed me two errors and I subscribed
thank you very much. The only part I replaced on the carb was the diaphragm so I'll make that change.
@@HomeGaragechannel top and bottom diaphragms would be nice to have a link to. McCulloch SE2000.
one link is there, and I don't know the other one. Good luck finding parts for these. These are no longer supported in the aftermarket.
Uno de los mejores video que he visto explica posibles fallas y cambios de diafragmas rápido y conciso aprendí rápido muchas gracias
Muchísimas gracias. Lo aprecio.
Great video! going to do these exact steps to get my Mac 3200 chainsaw going again.
Good luck!
Nice little homeowner chainsaw.
My thoughts too
Very well made video. I would have thoroughly CLEANED all the components before putting it back together. Even a small fleck of sawdust or dirt in the carby or fuel lines can create an enormous headache. Cleaning all the outer components also helps with cooling when you live in a hot climate like I do.
you are absolutely correct. thanks for the comment.
@@HomeGaragechannel Quick comeback, keep up the good work.
This and the part1 was great straightforward video THANK YOU!
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Great video. Just what I needed to repair my old chainsaw. Thank You!
no problem and thanks for the comment
Thanks for the video. Had some one else repair the chainsaw before I found the your video.
Glad I could help
Thanks for the informative video..
I gotta say, My Mac was, and still kinda is, close to being thrown off a cliff.. lol.. I'll go over it again, after watching this, and hopefully, get it going again..
Good luck and thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Awesome thanks ! I'm working on one as we speak . Just ordered fuel lines , may need that cover which covers carburator house air filter w / 2 screws.
thank you Anthony Harper.
@@HomeGaragechannel Thank you so much , should have it working by Saturday morning this weekend. Yessss I have all the parts coming together. Blessing's 😎
Thankyou that was among the best how.to videos I've seen....
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
A coworker years ago brought in a small McYellow, one that you have to dismantle the whole thing because it quit. Seems like it was an 'Eager Beaver', just s dinky thing. I started tearing it down and found out the fuel line was shot but it was winter and too cold to haul concrete and me and the other driver were in the batch house, maybe 12 x 12. The coworker came in after delivering his load of concrete stone to see if I knew what the trouble was and I purposely scattered it all over the building. He about had a stroke when he saw it but I got him to go get me a chunk of fuel line and had it back running in a short while. I couldn't do it now but it was sure fun then. Thanks and Blessings!
nice story, glad to hear you got it running.
@@HomeGaragechannel That one was way before primer bulb days. AND ethanol!
Hermosa la McCulloch. Tengo la misma aquí en Arg y es sensacional. Y pensar que es del año 96 y sigue funcionando. Un producto extraordinario sin dudas
Gracias por compartirlo
excellent video! ive been given an old mcculloch 3500 and I'm gonna see if it starts this weekend. thanks !
hopefully it works for you.
another fantastic video,thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I just fixed my thanks and God bless you.
Glad it helped
Man I would feel a real a lot better If I can find my tool that goes to my back pack blower
Thanks for posting...this video was perfect!
No problem
Great, tight, nicely edited video. Most of this may apply to my gas weed eater!!
Yes it might
Great fix 👍 I like those little McCullough saws.
Thank you Alan Marshall for the comment. They are great saws. The only real problem is getting parts for it particularly the fuel and oil tanks.
I will try to replace the tubes tomorrow on mine. I ordered the kit last week.
good luck with it
Video is really helpful and informative good set of straightforward vids
Thank you for the comment I appreciate it
Great demonstration! Thank you.
No problem and thanks for the comment
You sir are talented. I hope u are very successful
Thank you lloyd wilder for the compliment. I appreciate it.
Awesome fix buddy. Great work as always.
Thank you sir. I'm very appreciative for your support.
A good fix! I have one of these to fix, but it has no primer bulb.
nice!
Very excellent instructions.
Thank you for the comment I appreciate it
McCullouch chainsaws remind me of National Lampoon’s Christmas vacation. How Clark Griswald has gone crazy and sawed up part of the wooden stairway railing to ‘fix it’
I really like that comparison
Awesome video Mate, very informative, much appreciated!!
Thank you Cesar P the comment I appreciate it.
Good video sr long videos is better I learn more
Thank you Tomas De Paz for the comment. I'm glad you like it. I'm still on the fence about 10 minute videos as I'm not set up for it. I'll try to make them enjoyable.
Thank you very much for your instructional videos. I found my fuel line was deteriorated and the filter had fallen off. Needless to say, that was the reason my saw would not start. Now I need to locate the correct parts, make repairs and get it running again.
Good luck David3880 and thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Thank you for this informative video.

Thanks for the video! It was really helpful.
no problem and thanks for the comment
Very nice video helped tremendously. Could you mention to me proper high and low adjustments on carb? Just wondered proper adjustments for this.
There are no proper settings for this saw just a default one from the factory. Have you turned them and need to get it back to factory?
@@HomeGaragechannel I have not reassembled yet, waiting on carb kit but this question could be asked in general for all my two stroke equipment i wondered is low for best low ide and high for smooth running while a max power? Always wondered the proper way to adjust.
@@monkyshine5543 yes it's more of a enough fuel for smooth idling and full throttle. Proper adjustment is done thru experience. Some people use rpm meters to help visualize how its running.
@@HomeGaragechannel thanks for the rebuttals, when parts come in this 22 year old saw of mine should be singing.
@@monkyshine5543 I hope so. Thank you
Great video .you saved my ass. Thanks so much it works after I got the parts.
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it

thank you John Turner for the comment I appreciate it.
Thanks for the info great vid!!

Looks identical to my Mac- 3516. It's nearly 30 years old and still running strong.
They can be great machines if taken care of.
you made it easy thank you
