I heated up the coil in case there was moisture in it, closed the air gap flywheel, bodgee rigged a Victa condensor. Bingo, a big blue spark. I heard there was only one Macullock condensor so if I can't get one, I'll just use a Victa one..... Feels better speedy

OK, I got the Kohler condensor, and fitted it, great spark, bit white not blue, but that was OK. I assembled it and pulled away a bit, it fired a couple of times, but dry plug so no fuel. I pulled carb apart and put correct gaskets in in right order, but with sore arm, I mounted the saw in my vice and used electric drill to turn it over...... it fired once..... But a wet plug......... even used starter spray....................... One of my new year resolutions is to get this Super Mac out of my workshop..............!!!
Yesterday a bee was inspecting all the holes in it looking for a new home.........a big gray bee. Wouldn't leave me alone.... Maybe it was the colour yellow..... want to hear something funny. I was at the pool with a ladyfriend once and she had a t shirt on with a big sunflower pic on it,,,, and a bee landed on the flower...... speedy

Speedy I worked with a bloke with a big mop of red hair, he was always being chased by European wasps, bees never worried him it was always the wasps. He would start swinging his arms around and I knew he wasn't having a fit, wasps were after him. I did tell him to dye his hair black.
I put 4 Orings on machine today, 2 in carb and 2 for fuel and oil caps.... Didn't fire, pulled the spark out, one flash then nothing. I need a coil......... There must be some laying around......... I'll check US forums Even out Mac dealer... he didn't have anything come up for that model, but I will try another dealer.. speedy

The spark was bad, I replaced the two wires and clips on the coil and now I have BIG spark... It starts and runs with carby starter...... so points and coil are good now.... I put a kit in the Tillotson HL 63G carby, but I must have missed something. I see on youtube some excellant videos on installing the kit and learning about this fantastic carb... so many models.... Even new Chinese copies for $16 or $20...... so prospects are looking up. work to do speedy
