crank seals or coil.

If it runs fine, but won't start when it is hot, you probably have the incorrect spark plug, otherwise, yes, a coil is a likely suspect too.

incorrect plug? if it fits in the hole fine, and doesn't hit anything, it will work weather it's hot or cold. this is a mcculloch. you can thread in a spoon and it would still run

haha yeah that is true i have used other plugs in this thing and they have worked fine. i was thinking that the coil was the likely problem. now the real question is where to i find a coil for a 1970's mcculloch saw haha. the other thing i was thinking was the carb may be shot as well.

thank you for all the input

I found a coil for my Super Pro 81E online for about $70; it was a combo.
