The next cab of the ranks is a 1970 MacCulloch Super 10-10A , this saw was extremely dirty
after squirt of degreaser from a $2 shop and a blast with the hose , at least it was clean enough to
work on .

Pulled it down and cleaned of most of the crud with an old tooth brush, removed the points filed
them back to square and then dressed them up with a diamond encrusted file plate came up sweet .

Replaced the magneto coil etc to test for spark refitted the starter and pulled it over , beauty a big
fat blue spark . Squirted a bit of mix down the manifold (carby hadn't been kitted yet ) and pulled it
over it popped and ran for a few seconds , this was just to hear it run as I hadn't heard this saw run
up until then .Found another muffler as it didn't have one on it and fitted it, refitted the magneto
cowling ,shrouds etc, at this point it starting to look like a saw and not a pile of parts . Found
another fuel hose as the one on it was split, resealed the fuel tank with loctite gasket sealant
,removed the oil tank cover and cleaned that out resealed and reassembled .
Next I pulled out the Ultra-Sonic Cleaner and cleaned the carby and reassembled I like to squirt
fuel on the new gaskets to make them a bit soft so that they seal better in the next photo you can see
the screws are loose got a bit ahead of my self there in my eagerness to take photos .
