hi,
i'm new to the forum. i have a junk-parts circular sawmill project going and need advice for that, but just now am trying to get a mccullock 35a chainsaw to run. it's low hours, been in storage for years. just got it this past august. i put in new gas and cleaned the plug and it fired up. but it wouldn't run more than a few seconds.
now that the weather is cool (i'm in ga) i'm trying to use the saw. but now, it has no spark at all. the points are set so they barely open - i've tried resetting to .018, still no spark. also tried .014 and .0008 and the original setting - nothing.
was wondering if the condenser could be bad - took it out and cleaned the ground and positive contacts.
if it's bad, what is a suitable replacement? there's no parts number on the condenser.
thanks for any help on it.
