My apologies to Captain Dangers for the long delay in getting to this saw. I received this one perhaps in January or February but kept getting occupied with other projects.
I was intrigued by the photos of the LH and RH versions the captain put up and he was willing to help get one to me. Mike Acres site says "COMMENTS: Saw is virtually identical to McCulloch 1-10 " so I thought I'd see for myself. This one happens to be a RH start version.
The saw would not turn over as received. I like to take them all the way down for a good cleaning in any case so let's have a look under the covers.
Carburetor is a Tillotson HS, the air filter appears to be very close to the hard version found on early -10 models.
Under the flywheel, a few obvious differences are the location of the condenser (attached to the coil) and the points box itself.
Inside the points box, the components are different from the 10 Series indeed. One similarity is certain rubber parts just turn to goo like the grommet over the primary wire from the points.
