They do things on the farm that are not always by the book. White was probably the closest or only wire available at the time. In answer to Flying Scotts post, my regulator is new and points set correctly so that shouldn't be an issue.
For the benefit of others looking for this information I determined that the generator used in the 60 hp Scott is a type A generator. This can be verified by consulting the Delco Remy Service Test Specifications Bulletin #1G-186. Further information on the generator is available in the Delco...
Thank you for the replies. Unfortunately, removing the generator is not an option as the points are part of and driven by the generator. The real problem I was hoping to solve is referred to by roadrunner when he refers to an a or b circut. I am unclear as to how to determine that and don't...
I HAVE AN OLD 60 HP SCOTT THAT HAS A HUGE GENERATOR RATHER THAN AN ALTERNATOR AND I AM ANTICIPATING THE NEED TO FLASH THE GENERATOR SINCE IT HAS BEEN LAYING DORMANT FOR YEARS. I HAVE A GENERAL IDEA OF HOW IT'S DONE BUT WOULD FEEL BETTER IF SOMEONE KNEW FOR SURE THE PROPER PROCEDURE AND LET ME...
I WOULD LIKE TO CONVERT MY 1958 60 HP SCOTT FROM AS LONG SHAFT TO A SHORT SHAFT AND UNDERSTAND THAT A DRIVE SHAFT FROM A 60 HP IS THE SAME PART AS THE DRIVE SHAFT THAT WAS USED ON THE 75 HP. IF THAT IS TRUE, IF I FIND A SHORT DRIVE SHAFT FROM A 75 HP, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THE CONVERSION. I...
POINTS AND CONDENSER ARE FINE. THIS IS A THRE CYLINDER ENGINE AS YOU KNOW, SO WHEN I IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM, I SIMPLY SWITCHED THE COIL THAT WAS SUSPECT TO ANOTHER CYLINDER THAT WAS GIVING ME A GOOD SPARK. IT THEN CONTINUED TO GIVE NO SPARK AND THE GOOD COIL CONTINUED TO GIVE ME A GOOD BLUE...
I TRIED AOMCI, BUT NO LUCK SO FAR. THE ONLY SUGGESTION I GOT WAS TO TRY A COIL FROM AN OLDER OMC ENGINE. TRIED THAT-NO LUCK.
HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE BAD COIL. IT IS A REPCO COIL, BUT I SEE NO PART NUMBER ON IT. IF I COULD COME UP WITH A PART NUMBER (OTHER THAN THE SCOTT NUMBER) MAYBE I COULD...
I HAVE A 1958 60 HP SCOTT ATWATER THAT HAS A BATTERY OPERATED IGNITION SYSTEM MUCH LIKE ONE WOULD FIND IN AN AUTOMOBLE OF THAT ERA. IE, POINTS CONDENSERS AND ONE COIL FOR EACH CYLINDER. IT IS NOT A MAGNETO OPERATED SYSTEM. ONE OF THE COILS IS BAD AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE ODDS OF...
THANK YOU. THAT'S THE REPLY I WAS LOOKING FOR, AND MAKES SENSE. I'LL GO WITH THE MECHANICAL PUMP AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THE ELECTRIC PUMP. ONE OTHER QUESTION, I'M ABOUT TO START THE SEARCH FOR THE WATER PUMP IMPELLER AND FROM WHAT I SEE, IT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE. HAS ANYONE COME UP WITH AN...
HERE ARE THE PHOTOS YOU REQUESTED. THE PARTS BOOK CLEARLY SHOWS AN ELECTRIC PUMP IN THE JUNCTION BOX, BUT INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, I CANNOT FIND A MECHANICAL PUMP LISTED ANYWHERE IN THE PARTS MANUAL. THE PHOTO OF THE ENGINE SHOWS THE AREA I BELIEVE THE MECHANICAL PUMP SHOULD BE AS EVIDENCED BY THE...
I RECENTLY ACQUIRED A 58 FLYING SCOTT 60 HP AND I'M CONFUSED ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP. THE ENGINE WAS NOT COMPLETE WHEN I GOT IT, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS MISSING. THERE APPEARS TO BE A MECHANICAL PUMP LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE MOTOR THAT IS NOT THERE. ACCORDING TO THE PARTS BOOK...
