hi John
if im not mistaken its a magneto ignition it just doesnt have points ,the number 55008comes to mind. just bought two for converting the other week
one is done, the other is back burner for now . its a ryobi engine mtd is the parent company harbor freight sells remanufactured
weedys ( mostly re-adjusted needle valves) almost like new .good prices good for converting .for 50.00 I might buy another one (dont tell my wife )
and yes search ryobi lots of guys convert ryobi's and take a look at wacker engines .com. Pete makes some very affordable and nice parts ,check it out !
