I added another McCulloch Mite-E-Lite generator recently, and have a few pieces of literature on the way.
My son Jeff spent a few hours cleaning it up on Saturday and we moved it up front into the display.
I found a nice piece of Mite-E-Lite literature on eBay (on the way) as well as one McCulloch piece featuring the Mite-E-Lite products.
If anyone has any information on the McCulloch Mite-E-Lite connection, when McCulloch purchased Mite-E-Lite etc. I'd like to know more.

My bad…I didn’t pay enough attention and it had been a few days since I’d seen the post.

Katelyn is a faller on social media, has a Patreon with pretty good content that I have learned a few things from.

I totally agree social media will be the downfall of the human race. Just think Charlton Heston was certain it would be the damn dirty apes.

I totally agree I am looking for some McCulloch parts. I contacted what was said to be the social media "Facebook Guru" and he did not have to common decency to even reply.

Back to the museum....
I've added a few saws recently and have a few more to get cleaned up for the display.
Jonsereds 111 from Bob Anderson in Oregon. The orange Wright in the background is on of the early model reciprocating saws with the rod to drive the blade coming right off the top of the piston. The little Pioneer is a Holiday II, and hiding behind the Husqvarna case is another Wright reciprocating saw with the double throw crankshaft, one for the engine and one for the blade.
This one also needs attention, an early Mall/Remington. The breaker and spinner (Foley Bellsaw) came from the same auction.

Cleaned up with Pioneer Holiday II (1072) yesterday.
It is missing the primer bulb, but does run on a prime.
Interesting carburetor & primer set up on these.

The Mall GP got the treatment last Saturday with help from my son Jeff. Plug wire is broken off of the coil and I could not see where it was supposed to be attached so this one is for looks only.
Jeff found a photo on line depicting the air filter set up...
...so I did the best I could with the materials on hand...

I cleaned up with Wright reciprocating saw, didn't have a Carter NDR kit but after replacing the crankcase seals it certainly runs on prime. Someone had put the starter together backwards so the saw was cranking in reverse when I received it. The only way I uncovered that detail was the fact it would not generate a spark with the engine turning CCW viewed from the starter side.
I'd really like to find an air filter cover, this saw is in very good condition but looks a bit "unfinished" with the open top. From looking at Mike Acres site I'd say it may be a B316 or GS-2016 ? ?

This is one of the early models with the rod to drive the blade coming right off the top of the piston.
To accommodate the rod on top, the spark plug is on the side of the cylinder.

Entwistle bomb hoist used on aircraft carriers to lift bombs up to the planes. McCulloch PM700 power head.
I already had a power head in the display.

John Entwistle was the greatest bass player who ever lived.
Sorry, it had to be said.
As you were.
