This may sound foolish but I have never seen ignition like this before. This old H50-65378K, s/n 3067R does not have any wires connected to the points? Dad says he had this old tiller running years ago but, one spring it did not start. He claims he just parked it and forgot it but…………. ( He doesn’t remember taking it apart or working on it, but…..)
Anyway, I pulled the flywheel and it has internal points. The condenser wire had been cut and taped off and the coil wire is run to a small, 1 ½” square solid state? module that is mounted to the sheet metal shroud. The coil ground wire goes to the mounting screw that holds the condenser. But, there are no wires hooked to the points?? Can this run this way?
There is no spark at the plug and I expected to check the points and condenser but I have never seen anything like this before so I am stumped. Thank you for any enlightenment that you can offer.
