Not mine. Might have taken some other shots but cant find them now. There are a few of these drone motors around here.
The cylinders are shapped very similar to the RP Craftsman heads.
Got this one going the other day.. Not many of these around far as I know. A C-70G

That's a dandy, Mark. Is that the proper position of the recoil? Seems kinda odd for the rip-cord to be situated so low.
Yeah a lot of these Wrights had the recoil orientated like that, look close and you will see a roller mounted for the rope to roll over on.

What size engine 60cc range?

That makes sense for versatility. At times, I prefer to start the saw while it's perched on a log with the spike dug in, in which case, the lower position is well suited. Then the roller is there for pulling up, with the saw on the ground method.
Ummm, not quite. Its nearly double that at 116cc. 7 CI.

Need to do a cut vid for us. Not many of those around so im shure a few of us would like to se it in action
Interesting note about the Wright C 70 is that they have a manually adjustable timing feature, the white knob attached to the lever just left of the rear handle operates a linkage to advance or retard timing.
Ok, here is Chris making one of the first runs with it. It will take a little run time to get the rings seated and Chris said his C-70D ran better after the new carb diaphragms had set with some fuel in them for a while.

The very first few saws of those R-P 1200B's had a spark retard lever, too. But they discontinued it a month or two into the first production run in early 1947. R=P made that model from 1947-1949, then came out with the R-P 50 model. I think I see a painted-over nameplate on your saw right over the screen on the fan shroud. It should say either Reed-Prentice or Craftsman under the paint.

Nice lookin job. Neat to see the gear drive version. What do you think of the power? I had two one I couldn't get running and on that had good comp and I was able to get it running. I was able to tune it to sound right but it never seemed to have the snot that I thought it would. I know it's not a 2100 homelite, but I still had hoped for a bit more. A'course I am no expert on these and may have just tuned it all wrong. Did like that manual spark advance for start up though.

No actually I'm not joking that rear middle handle is a twist throttle with a grip and your other hand goes on the front bar, I would have never guessed either but it really works good.
