I had my 1976 CHR 140 running. Then I messed up the CDI. I need help to source an older breaker distributor. Hoping it might mount similar to the current one.
( I am not super tech savvy but reading I see it will require some timing adjustments.)
If I can find the distributor the motor can be saved from the junk yard.
Besides racing winter up here in Canada, getting parts not in the catalogue is next to impossible.
I see one fellow found a distributor on a smaller engine which gives me hope.

Putting another magic box on does not seem practical and is not in my budget anyway.
PS Planning to use auto coil with internal resistor and a condenser, plus standard plugs.
(So much for the new hotter plugs with out tips
TX in advance for any tips.
