OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions On Hand Held Blowers/Vacuums Petrol Blowers & Vac's Mcculloch blower/vac engine

Can anyone tell me the make and/or model number and displacement of the engine in my McCulloch Eager Beaver blower/vac, model 400048-06? I've had the engine out of the plastic case but haven't removed the metal shrouds or otherwise disassembled it so I haven't found any identifying marks. There's no info about the engine in the user manual and I've searched the net for info but found nothing.

Does the "06" in the model number indicate a letter, such as "F"? I've found 400048C, E, and F on the Internet but not 400048-06.

I want to convert the engine to a use on an RC plane. Can anyone tell me where I can get an electronic ignition conversion kit other than from CH Ignition? (Yes I know I can buy a ready-made engine but what's the fun in that?)

Thanks,
Bidwin

Bidwin,
Information on your motor has been sent.

I have the same engine. Would you mind sending me the info as well? I'm looking for an ignition coil for mine. It doesn't seem to want to spark. Any ideas about a replacement unit? I'm guessing there are a few units that will work. The ignition just says AM-35 made by SEM 809 201 19.

Thanks for your help!
