Nice touch with the early clutch cover. Just needs a spike now. If you can, weigh the powerhead full of fluids for a reference.

The reed valve muffler is just showin off. :msp_biggrin:

Yeah, but I took the reed out.;)

I won an aution on ebay a couple years ago with about 8 of those new reed muffler covers. It's an easy way to dress up a 10 series saw.

I had a NOS black clutch cover with the textured paint, but it won't fit. It hits on the engine like it was made for a different 10 series model. So I just sand blasted an old one I had and painted it yellow.

I have a NOS black one with the new "mountain" styl logo that works fine. The one you have may be for the 80cc versions, or the CP AV like CP55/70, etc.

I'll trade ya Muffler covers straight up for the reed type cover. I have NOS cowbell shaped ones, but they have regular louvers instead of the reeds. I prefer the reeds.

Done!

Ok I'm done now. Who wants to by it now? Need to sell it and move on to another restoration.

Looks really good!

But I'll have to pass on the purchase. That yellow plug wire is just weirding me out!

The Shop Monkey has a job now and should be getting a check any day now ... :monkey:
 
Yeah we noticed, I just figured it was a newer design.

The first pic is of the donor saw that I stole the top handle assembly from. I didn't use that engine or coil. I used a 10-10S engine with a mcculloch electronic ignition coil. I just replaced the stock worn out wire with a nice yellow one.
 
JMO, but I'm thinking you need to work on that low-hour 1-76
one of these days. At least get it back to running!
Igpoe:cheers:

I'm trying to get to it, but first I need to sell this saw so I can afford the parts I need for the 1-76.
 
thanks for the info. All of my 10-10's are the same as your donar saw, with points ignition. Nice job btw, it should sell quickly.
 
So, you must have taken some time off from making your own stinkbait to restore some saws,LOL.
That 10-10S is real purdy. I'm thinking you should maybe list it in the classifieds and see what offer you can get if you must sell it. I've seen NOS ones bring $400, so a nicely restored one should bring half that or close. jmo
That 6 you got from me would look good w/new paint!
