CNew 404 #32 Posted November 15, 2019 This one may be a shelf unit too. I don’t have any immediate plans for it in an application but we’ll see. I need to start tackling my Aquabug project! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice find, looks in need of a good clean and as usual the starter mechanism needs repairing. Apart from the air cleaner assembly I can't see anything else missing in the above picture.

Did the replacement coil fit the starter housing OK? I found out that an older coil doesn't fit a newer housing. Did you get the original insulator cap for the spark-plug when you bought the engine?

David The coil fit rite in place the wire was to long and cracked had to do a little repair there. I don't like using new parts because once you put them on an engine there gone. still have a few used ones to use first. Yes I got the insulator cap with the Engine I'm missing about 6 of them don't know what I'm going to put it on. p.s. Those are plug wrenches Edited November 17, 2019 by JUST O&R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #42 Posted November 17, 2019 For th insulator cap would it be possible to wrap a little foil around it and then use heat shrink tubing to make a custom fit cap (then remove the foil of course)? 17 hours ago, JUST O&R said: body filler. By the way, what brand/color of red paint do you use- that’s a pretty nice match to original O&R? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JUST O&R 237 #46 Posted November 17, 2019 I like that stretch that out at the bottom and maybe heat it with a heat gun to swell it a little that would be almost perfect. Will try that thanks . If you made a small template that dip-and- grip looks like it would work great too. Might just have to try that too. I will let you know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #47 Posted November 17, 2019 Usedtoolman Jim is a machinist and he did exactly that with using a template he made to match the original caps. I like the cap idea Joe posted too. Kind of funny how the picture they use to sell them looks like the bottom of it was cut off with a clam shell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #48 Posted November 17, 2019 I thought @usedtoolman might have machined a mould to make those spark-plug caps. If you need a later style cap then Tecumseh part no. #610118 is the same, just make sure it's an original one and not a later version (with same part no.) before buying, been there bought the wrong one got the t-shirt.
