If it's a sport four, does it have the belt driven generator? Do you have a model no.?

[Ezrider_92356]

it has what looks like a belt drivin distributer

[R.Johnson]

We really need a model no. here. Those engines had a belt driven dist., or mag. A belt driven generator, or a under flywheel alternator.

That would have a belt driven magneto at the rear. The generator kit was an optional accessory, and if it has one it is another belt driven unit looking similar to the electric starter. Most motors don't have one.
