Just an update, Mrs. is still in the hospital but is becoming increasingly cantankerous each day. That is a good sign. She should be able to come home Tuesday or Wednesday, until then I will keep cleaning areas of the house and figure on sticking close for the next week or two until she regains strength.

Good to hear Mark!
I hope getting home crushes the cantankerous.

You can't count on Acres' site to be 100% accurate.It's best to have an IPL or some other source of info as a backup.
The Mini Mac 6 has always intrigued me. I may get one someday. Right now I'm covered up with dead saws.
Gemme's and brought ones.
Very cool video Clint53!
Once again Vinny has come through for me.I bought a 7-10 2 yrs.ago & I called it the 7-10 from hell.I put new points & condenser in it & a different coil as the original coil was dead & had a frayed plug wire.I also rebuilt the carb & yet I couldn't get the saw to fire.I guess I had a plug in it that wasn't hot enough,so Vinny put one in from his saw & my saw fired up,but wasn't running right.He ended up replacing the FW seal & presto - he had himself a nice running 7-10! My thanks go out to Vinny once again & congratulate him on a job well done!
Was that you who just got an SP81 Ed?
Youre welcome ed!!
HAHA Cotton Eye Joe, I haven't heard that song in a in a dogs age.
Most people have colorful words besides "fun" for those little guys. I like'm! After you take one apart a couple times it's no big deal, and they'll run hard all day long.
That's funny. 'Bout 7 different versions of that tune and I have all of em. (Was in the music business in a former life.) Only differences are different players dropping in for a solo or some hollerin' or whatever and a couple longer dance mix variations -- like it needed to be any longer. LOL They all get a little old after about the 3rd verse, but one version has a particularly outstanding harp solo that makes it worthwhile. Matter of fact, think I'll give it a listen!
Sorry for the sidebar, gang. As you were.
I know you said you got an ipl for the cp55. My cp70 ipl shows no dust guard like on the sp saws. Same for cp55?
The first instance I was able to find of that dust guard was in a 1973 SP60 IPL and found it on no other models except the SP's.
There is a sawdust guard in the ipl for the cp55. Its not like that of the sp models. It is bolted to the top of the starter cover. 
But im not wilking to pay $22.00 total for it. I made a sp model cover fit on it. Im picking the kids up from the bus but then im gonna put fuel in it and start it up this evening. Ive spent the better part of today putting it together. Im not done yet but close. Thanks though for the info.

I had a bit of a problem with the DSP valve on the 7-10 sticking open.I pulled it out & just worked it a bit & blew through the holes in the nut to clean out any carbon build up,put it back in & it fired right up & seems to be working now.
Vinny,you were right about not using the choke to start it.If I use the choke it wants to flood.I found it startsd much better too with the plug wire attached to the plug,Lol. I forgot to put it back on after I was done with the DSP.
