My 20 year old engine is on it's last legs/bearings/whatever. I've kept it going with parts from a later engine, probably 10 years old. Mechanically, the two engines are identical so it seems.
I've got another engine, also ~10 years old, that I've just put back together. I note that the connector blocks on the generator/ignition pickup are different. Rather than hack off the connectors and wire up the new engine to the old loom, I thought I'd just use the whole engine casing/cover from the old engine mounted to the newer one. (The casing houses the generator and ignition pickup.) I will need to look at the magneto thing, to see if they are the same I guess.
Also, the newer carb has a single eletrical spade connector and the old one doesn't. Again, to keep things simple I will re-use the old carb. No idea what this connector is for; a wiring diagram would help I suppose. (Yep, I've done all my recent engine repairs/rebuilds without a manual; and I wonder why it's kn*ckered!)
Anyone tried this swop before and have any useful tips or comments for this model?
