Eric is right. I haven't seen such a original, complete example of a Hillbilly/Sherpa. Thank you for posting the pictures. Your 665 is looking good, too.
When I get it put back together... I will be trying it for the first time.... I am not sure... my guess is you would need to stop.... Richard May know the answer to that...
Pneumatic governor, the wind vane connects to the throttle butterfly by way of the fulcrum. This was a Tote Gote throttle set-up and may be different on your Sherpa
I think that is the kill wire. Touch it to ground to kill motor. You have the early coil. They don't make them anymore. Sometimes you can find a NOS from someone but it is best to protect your original; Always have the plug wire grounded when not on the spark plug ( or ground the kill wire). If you need to update the coil, you will need to update the flywheel as well. Probably from 1958.
The earlier model 14 cast iron motors may have the same coil, I have no way to cross reference them. I've found it easier to find a newer flywheel and upgrade.
