RE: Help ID this engine please ?
With the plug out of the engine and held against the fins, I get NO spark what so ever and Ive worn my arm out trying to spin the prop faster. I should get spark when I do this ? ? Yes
No , spin it with a starter , with the plug grounged to the engine.
On the ? magneto ? (I dont know what its called for sure) there are two blade type connectors but nothing connected. What if anything goes here ?
this is where you hook a wire going to a switch and on the other side of the switch hook a wire and run it back to the engine and hook it somewhere on the engine,IE , mounting bolt,cylinder bolt , something that will ground the wire.
OK, I needed to be more clear in my request.
The engine does not have any wiring other than the lead from ? magneto ? the spark plug. This lead is sheathed in a wire mesh sleave. The last 2 inches of the plug lead has a type of aluminum foil wrapped around it. There is a wire that is tech screwed into a cooling fin adjacent to the plug, that runs to and winds around the plug lead. If you look closely at the above picture you can see all that is there.
the lead on the plug indicates to me the previos user must have had an interference problem. Make sure you have a resister plug before trying to fly with this engine, 2nd the coil may be bad, you probably can not spin it fast enough to see a spark by hand, once you have it all in top shape and carb set and working proper then it should hand start. The wire tech screwed to the fin should be for a ground to the coil , that should be ok , it is needed to kill the engine with a switch
Hope this helps I normally do not do this much typing at one time, lots of poking lol
