OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers Hello Everyone

Can anyone tell me if the crankshafts are indeed identical and can be swapped.I would like to swap them over and should I also swap the connecting rods?

Update: I found out why I wasn't getting any spark. The spike on the clip (metal part that holds the spark plug) that digs into the lead and is crimped on, was bent and not contacting the wire core. So I ended up stripping the insulation back to expose the wires and soldered the wires to the clip. It should work now, coil is showing 2.85kohms on my multimeter, it was 0 prior to soldering. The condenser also holds a charge. Checked the old spark plug that was in the lawnmower on the edger and it works, lots of spark!
