What fuel flow characteristics indicate an effective fuel filter and how is an insufficient flow determined. If the filter is too clogged what remedies are available. The filter appears to be permanently and securely fixed in place.

You have to remove fuel tank and in the hole on bottom is where the filter is at. Fuel just flows out. Mine was clogged so I replaced it.

Thankyou for your responses. I have one of each mini-McCullochs. The Beaver performed very well until the CDI died so I compared the fuel flow with that of the Mac 110. They were much the same tho a little better for the Beaver. As the 110 was given me for it's ignition coil [unsuitable for the Beaver as the 110 has points] I worked my way thru a full check-up, found the fuel line was not connected, mixture screws incorrectly set, cleaned everything and it runs very well tho 2/3 as powerful as the Eager Beaver. They look close to identical and the same size otherwise. The fuel filter in the Mac 110 is very securely glued in place inside a tubular moulding formed in the bottom of the fuel tank. New McCulloch parts are not available here in New Zealand. Many thanks again for your answers. P. S. I am still looking for a CDI unit for the Beaver [chainsaw].

99.9 percent of chain saw fuel filters are replaceable, it should be attached to the end of a fuel line inside the fuel tank. Just Replace it. Without seeing the saw my best guess would be a 125-527 echo filter would fit or a rotary 4995 should also fit properly.

The question should of course specify 2.1 cubic inch or 16cc capacity, not 2.1cc as shown. Can you help?
