Barn Find

[Jug-head]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Went to the old farmstead yesterday to look around the barn and behind a pile of old hay bales I found a 1964 McCulloch 14.1 in Great shape. I removed the cowl/cover and to find that the fuel lines had rotted and dropped.
I'll buy a manual but can' wait to get started working on it. Where do the fuel lines go? There are three spots for lines on the sediment bowl/filter one in front of the bowl from the main line. One on the bottom going to carb and one on top going to the head. Lines have dropped off and only the clamps remain. Does this sound correct? Also, I'm calling it a sediment bowl/filter because I don't know the correct term, Sorry.

Re: Barn Find

You need a manual. If the fuel quick connect is three prong, it may have run off a pressurized tank with two lines...so no fuel pump needed on the motor/powerhead. If the quick connect has only two prongs, it uses a one line tank like today's outboards...so the sediment bowl/filter could actually be a fuel pump with a gas line in from tank, gas line out to carb and hose to the powerhead to provide pulse/suction to work the pump. Not sure about McCulloch motors, though...definitely scare up a manual.
