Where to buy McCulloch 3-10 coil

[matt_lamb_160]

Hi I have a McCulloch 3-10E but no ignition coil. Any ideas where to get one? I am in Australia and parts saws don't come up often here

Cool saw mate jump into the mac thread and have a yarn. I'm not 100 percent sure about the E version but basically any points ignition coil from a 1-10 2-10 3-10 10-10 more or less any points 10 series coil and Ebay will have 1 usually. Definitely ask on the mac thread though and the guy's on there would love to hear about your 3-10E it's a rather special saw.

Thanks mate. Can you get them new anywhere (unlikely I guess)?

It was my grandfather's saw. It is pretty sad and is missing the battery pack and the e-start disabled, but still special. Plan is to get it running and paint it up.

Don't paint it man that's your grandfather's history on there all those little chips.

No worry about new plenty good used around. Will be able to resurrect the electric starter too no doubt

Good point about painting it. Thanks for the link too.

No worries

Just purchased a coil from SawSalvage.co. Hopefully it is good when it arrives.

Nice mate I'm sure it will be fine. Have ya got some pictures?

If the coil has a problem, it is most likely the spark plug lead is open (broken wire). They can be replaced by unscrewing the wire from the coil and installing a new one. Often the wire will twist off in the socket which will require a bit of creative tooling to get it out. I made one hollow drill from a roll pin, then found an ideal tool designed to remove broken screws.





The electric start saws are pretty interesting, and evidently there were quite a few manufactured. My latest acquisition was a Super 10-10E.



It starts and runs nicely, but I removed the batteries to avoid any further corrosion.

It is a lot cleaner now, but this is how I got it. I have the bar and chain for it. Battery box is missing as you can see and the pull start is broken. I have ordered a new spring for it. Might get a pull handle too because this one looks about due to fall a part

Thanks for the tip on the lead removal. That is a nice looking saw!

It has the bullfrog/flatback carb as you would expect. I think I posted earler that it is s type 5, but I think it is actually a 4. It has been apart and is missing the check ball and seat for the primer. The duckbill is also completely gone. Still considering what to do with regards to the primer. A new carb diaphragm is on the way.

Cool Mark glad you jumped in with some proper knowledge

Looks like quite a project you've got going there Matt will be well worth it especially since its your grandfather's saw

 

[matt_lamb_160]

It will be great to have it going again. Thanks for the support.

Be cool to get the electric stuff working again
