Default RE: What engine is this?

What you have is a magneto motor and what appears to be a jump start electronic ingnition used only for starting. I use the jump start on my Q52. You energize it with a battery to make a hot spark for starting then remove the battery and fly on the magneto. The magneto motors require a fast spin to get spark but with the jump start it is a zero speed spark. If I remember correctly C&H ignitions sells the jump start. There should also be a switch on the jumpstart "unless someone removed it".

At least that's what it looks like to me from the pics. Jim
