MAC 1-51 up 'N Runnin

[Moabmad]

Project almost complete! I posted not too long ago with the "OMG what have I done"; where I took a running 1-51 completely apart.

I am very happy to note, that I have it reassembled and it kicked over on the second pull! I dare anyone to find dirt, grease, or grime on any part of the saw.

I set the point gap at .018" using an "ace of spades" and a folded piece of paper.

Set the coil gap with an "ace of spades".

Had to cut four gaskets by hand.

And replaced the fuel lines.

Heres the pics....

I didn't repaint because IMO the saw has earned every scratch on her; I might hit it with some clear coat if she stays clean long enough!

Oh pshaw,they run just fine all coated with grease ,oil, and chips from 40 years of running.

Nice job.See,nothing to it was there.Those old Macs were made to run forever,this one is most likely good for another 40 years.
