Gave it a good cleaning. Will do a bit more yet before it goes out. Cleaned all the crap out from under the flywheel cover, clutch cover, in the carb box, around the fins and coil, etc. Blew out the AF. Cleaned out the recoil mechanism, repaired the starter spring by heating and rebending the end. Burned my finger in the process (d'oh!) Installed a new rope. Works much better now that it rewinds as it should.................and no longer has an 18" rope.
Compression is VERY good. Don't have a gauge ATM. Now it's waiting on a new loop of chain from 8433Jeff, and some small bits from Duke Thieroff (gas cap, rear handle insert, etc). I'll put a carb kit in it sometime in the next few days. It starts and runs now, but fresh diaphragms won't hurt. Bar is a 16" McCulloch branded hardnose .058G bar that's in good shape. Most of the paint and logos remain. The # on it coresponds to the OEM bar listed in the IPL.
Color doesn't look the same as what's in the pic. Turned more 'yellow' in the pic for some reason. Only broken bit is a small bit missing from the lower right corner edge of the clutch cover (second pic). Won't hurt anything. There's a few light corrosion spots and some paint knocked/rubbed off............but overall it's a good solid low-time saw that will be a good fun runner for somebody. It has a good rim drive drum too. I'll post a pic or two when the chain is on and I've finished cleaning.
The saw is a Model
600002U 10-10A with an
11 serial # prefix. That puts it between 1970 and 1972. Here's a link for the IPL.
