Anyone familiar with this motor. Just acquired and is not running. No spark, has good comp, and seems ok everywhere else. Just cant find many support links. Thanks for any help on part numbers or possible solutions. :facepalm:

Re: 1962 Elgin 7.5hp McCulloch help

I have some Scott-McCulloughs. Can't say for sure, but checking magneto magnets for strength with a heavy screwdriver might reveal a weakness there. If you have a multi- meter try testing coils and condenser for continuity. I came across a site with video on this process. I think it was Dave Gingery? Might try ebay and click on his video. Not sure where I got it. Good kickin'
