Mcculloch Eager Beaver 16"

[gbailey588]

I just recently disassembled my 16" Mcculloch chainsaw to fix a leaking gas line. While apart, I cleaned everything including taking the carberator completely apart for rebuild. The carberator is attached with three screws that also hold the coil onto the engine. Once back together, I now do not have any spark. Several questions: What is the clearance necessary between the coil and flywheel and how are the insulators supposed to be placed that isolate the coil from the engine? I am almost sure this is where my spark problem lies but can't figure it out.

Does anyone have a schematic or blown-up view of this chain-saw?

Thanks in advance,

George

The clearance should be about a business card thick. I'm gonna e-mail you a ph# to call for an illustrated parts list.

Seesaw, thanks for the tip on the business card and the phone number. I will give him a call today.

Check your ground wire and connection. Those saws are good at loosing grounds and also make sure your switch wire is not grounding out on the saws case.
