Power pack?

No power pack in this old boy. It's basically an aircooled lawnmower
engine with an outboard leg. (I have one sitting in my garage)

To the OP... I'm thinking sparkplug wire maybe? Can you check with a
spark tester to see if the spark can jump the same gap on each
cylinder?

I got a new coil (w/ spark plug wire), and switched coils, etc.




Also, where ever did you find an electronic igniton for one of thses
things?


Ah!, simple!. *Since* the flywheel has only "one" magent, you can
use these $13 universal ignition modules/breaker point eliminator
modules - I've been using them on ALL engine that comes thru here with
breaker points. Works great for 1, or 2 cylinder engines that uses a
magneto ignition where "one" magnet in the flywheel swings past a
coil(s).
Its called a "Nova II", or a "universal ignition" module for small
engines,
and can find them on line at any small engine supply outfit on the web.
They are about the size of a postage stamp, and eliminates the condenser,
and most importantly, the breaker points! - no more points in a
2-cylinder
means you don't have to worry about matching up point gaps, *or* worry
about situation where the lobe is worn that opens/closes the points
(which
is how I got involved in these modules in the FIRST place). I re-did a
1974
Sears Gamefisher 7.5 (made by Eska w/ a Tecumseh engine) where the
lobe was too worn to open the points far enough. So pass this info on!!
For 1, or 2 cylinder OB's with flywheel/magneto ignitions, take the
points
and condenser(s) out, and put one of these little things in, they are
very
reliable! 2 terminals, and one screw, thats ALL there is to it!! Look
:!

So yeah, I simply can't say enough about these little miricles!.
Now, back to my problem, any ideas ??

Change the module? :)

...This is the best you can come up with Tom? ...
I was somehow hoping for a different answer.
(hehe, never mind that inch and a half blue spark
I can draw off of the tip of the new plug wire that
is attached to that "new" coil driven by that brand
new module).




Later,
