RE: What engine is this?
Hi,
It is a magnito engine. All you need to run it is the flywheel and coil. I think that hookup that you are talking may be some sort of auto retard system for easy starting. Check to see if the engine has a spring starter in the motor mount. If it has a spring it will help with starting. Figure That tank should give you fifteen miniuts with fuel to spare. Use a good quality chain saw oil at manufactures recomendations. Do a search on oil and you should get a bunch of good info on oil.
