McCulloch Chain Saws

[Gizzard]

I got everything preped for assembly. Bearings oiled, rings clocked, seals greased, sealing surfaces cleaned and so on. I usaually rough up the crankcase flanges lightly with 400 wet/dry paper to have a very clean surface and give something for the motoseal to stick to. Then I wipe all sealed surfaces down with denatured alcohol to remove any oil or grease. Assemble the two halves and torque the large bolts in the oil tank to 60 in-lbs and hand tighten the small outer bolts with a 1/4" nutdriver. Dont forget to put sealer on the heads of the large bolts inside the tank so you dont fill the crankcase with bar oil


What brand of torque wrench is that on your table? Any recommendations on one for in-lbs use?

It is an ATD. Its is hard to find an in-lbs torque wrench at the store. usaually you have to order them online or go to a speciality store. don't buy one from harbor freight or the like. no point to a torque wrench if you cant verifiy the quality/accuracy.

Does any body understand the starter/generator wireing diagram for the electric start 10 series? I hooked everything up the way it came apart and nothing happens when I throw the switch. the wiring diagram shows no ground connection and no power supply to the motor. I need some help from an expert! the pictures in all my manuals are very grainy and I cant tell in detail where the wires go.

Appreciate the info on torque wrench. It has been a couple years back, but tried to get one at local NAPA and didn't have any luck. Memory is bad sometimes and they may have found something in their catalog and I just got price shock.

Hope these help Steve.

I didn't take many pics when assembling mine. I did have to replace or add a wire. It's the brown on in the pics.

If anyone needs it I have the full service manual for the 10 series with a good wiring diagram

I could sure use one for my PM700 and SP80

Thanks

Ok guys you have all been very helpfull. Joey, Your pictures make lots of sense, Thanks as always but here are the diagrams out of the manual. the top one is where it shows to short the battery to the resistor and doesn't clearly show a body ground. the second pic is what I think it should be wired with the resistor in series with the battery and the generator

 

[ethar]

That would make sense to do it like that is there a place for a bolt in that area for a ground. From joey's pic there seems to be a plate on the coil that uses the coil grounding as the chassis ground. It looks like a wire from the battery pack a jumper wire from the ground and another jumper wire from the resistor all attach at this point. From my electrical experience the circles on here should represent jumper (attachment) points.

I don't know anything about the 10-10E and I don't own one but I nicked this print off fleabay today.
It's easy to make out the wires but I have no idea if this is right.
I hope it helps.
