Mini-mac 30 reassembly issue
By: apprenticegnome Date: May 15, 2020, 6:10 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I was given a McCulloch Mini-mac 30 that had been partly
disassembled about 20 years ago. I have mostly put it back
together and have kitted the carby (problem why it was
disassembled in the first place apparently). I have a wire that
I can't recall where it screwed to. I also have 2 other parts
that were in the box that may or may not belong to the saw. Is
there anyone on this site that might be familiar with these saws
and know where this wire was screwed or bolted to and if the 2
other parts are not related to the build (if they are, where do
they belong?). It came from my old work (a motor mechanics) so
anything could have been picked up and added to the box of parts
before I aquired it. I have watched a disassembly video on you
tube for 1 but the video is too grainy to make some parts out,
the service manual and owners manual don't show the 3 parts in
question either.

Sorry I cannot be any help I have always avoided working on
those. My hat is off to you for taking on the challenge.
But do let us know how you get it done and how it runs.
Parts list and a service manual would be your best bet.

Thanks for the parts list, I already had it though and for the
life of me cannot find the 3 items in it. The only part that
might come close is the small tab in the picture with my finger
could be 1/2 of a revised 2 piece version that goes in the base
of the throttle handle, part No 43 on page 7 but I'm only
guessing there. I have the service and owners manuals as well
but they don't cover these 3 parts either. I did reassemble
minus the chain bar about 18 months ago and it did start but
would not keep running. I disassembled a bit further this time
to remove the engine from the case so I could do the carby. The
diaphragm and pump gaskets were shot and rubbish inside so a
good clean and new gaskets will more than likely let it live
again. I'm mostly concerned as to where to screw or bolt that
little module on the wire so it doesn't get in the road of
anything. If I was positive I had the correct bolts in their
respective holes and wasn't missing any pieces I would have made
a higher resolution video of disassembly as it wasn't that hard
to take down after doing it once.

They probably do not belong to the saw and I would just finish
putting it together and running it to make sure all works like
it should.

check this video if
you look where your right thumb would be when holding the saw
you can see a chrome version of your bent wire I believe its the
manual oiler

Looks to me like the bent wire is to actuate the manual oiler,
and the electronic part seems to be a ignition trigger to
eliminate the points and condenser.
