I have converted a Victa points mower to pointless ignition (coil from a side pull full crank) Today just to show how easily it can be done.
This hasn't been explained before doing the conversion this way ,but is simple enough.

Vm ,that is why the lead wire for the spark plug goes to the bottom of the coil if possible with your coil.
Just out of interest vint_mower is the Stens Module wired for negative or positive earth ?, now it's working.
The edges of the coil needs some filing so the flywheel doesn't rub after reversing the coil.
I have installed a Powertorque module instead of the full crank module.
As far as I know if you don't reverse the coil and use a Victa module the motor has to spin a lot faster than normal to get a spark.
Also leaving the points in and connecting up a Victa module with the coil not turned around (standard points coil) will work but uses the old points as a switching mechanism.
From what Norm has said about the size of the Powertorque Coil ,I haven't bothered trying that coil.
