Discussion Of McCulloch Eager Beaver 2.0, 100S, 160S Electronic Ignition Coils!

The cream/white coil is 217031 in the IPL's. The black coil would be part off the 300387 kit. I don't think the two share the same flywheel. If some had previously swapped flywheels on the the project saw, that would completely alter this information, but I do not believe this to be the case.

Thanks for this video! I also have one of these saws with weak spark. I found the black coil on Ebay for $18. It has a longer plug wire because it came off a different model. I found the #22 flywheel also on Ebay for $12. Now it has good strong spark & runs great. If it wasn't for this video & getting lucky finding the parts, this saw would have been trashed. Thanks again!!!

There was also two cranks in those mini Mac's . I had a but load of them and one day I was gonna take the electronic coil and flywheel off of a saw and put it on a points model and that's how I found out there is two different size cranks , the shaft size is different where the flywheel goes on crack . I decided I've had my fill of those mini Mac's so I gave them to a lawnmower shop / lawnmower salvage yard in West Texas I'm friends with . I kept the first one of those mini Mac models made just because a good friend gave it to me case and all it runs but I ain't gonna cut with it . I won't part with all the other Mac's I have .

Thank you for this video. I recently bought a $20 McCulloch Eager Beaver 2014 and got it running with a rebuild of the Zama carb. Google was of limited help, but your videos, along with some others helped me learn a lot. Mine is model 600032-28. As far as I can tell, mine is from somewhere between 6/1993 and 5/1996. Thank you for your content. Bruce Pender sent me over initially when I discovered your channel.

I have an eager beaver that honestly I didn't know I even had. Found it on my shelves one day. I've heard that they are a real pain in the ass to work on. Maybe one day I'll find out if I ever get to it before I forget I have it again😄😄

Did anyone use one of the last US McCulloch dealers, I think it was in Fayetteville, SC or maybe it was MO for parts? I have lost my contact info for them, they were great but shut down, owner retired. Website had a lot of good info covering the later MTD era equipment, long gone now.

As a general rule, the black cased electronic ignition 110, 120, 130, 140, 160s, 2.0, eager beaver, reconditioned 2.0 are all the same. The only difference is the sticker on the outside.

[@thankswillie]

dang just in time,just picked up a 130 ...2.0 no spark...now in a hurry to disassemble.

I have the same problem I have a 29 flywheel and a white coil I bought a black coil and it doesn't run right so I think that I need a white coil

[@lanlantheman]

This is odd, I got one on my bench right now! I had to get a new fly wheel because I couldn’t figure out how to get the starter paws off!

[@lanlantheman]

Now I have to look at my flywheel. But how about a coil for a HomeLite 300? I can’t find a coil anywhere. I know it’s a plastic saw but dang I would like to get it going!

Sounds lazy as hell.
