Small engine with points?

[dfkrug]

That's an old one. I had a Horse with a similar setup, but don't remember much about it. I do recall swapping the engine for a 5HP Tecumseh which my father had lying around.

...and the Tecumseh engines mostly have an oil pump for better lubrication of engine bearings. Just landed a free 5hp mower for my latest project.

I would try to repair the old flathead engine on that tiller if the bore is good. Aftermarket electronic ignition upgrades are cheap.

Pretty sure that reverse pulley is driven off the camshaft, which turns the opposite direction of the crankshaft.

You should be able to find an exploded view of the engine by entering the model number, and type of the engine found on the engine shroud to Google.

My buddy got some gas tank liner from a motorcycle guy. It looked pretty good when he was done. We will put it back together and see.

Points way back in the 60's when I purchased a VW bug
the points had a 1/2 inch of metal on both sides for contact
but when I purchased points in the USA very little metal and
both sides had holes in the middle need less to say they didn't
last very long

I’m not sure the hole in the middle of the points wasn’t designed to dissipate heat.
