mattauto, Ok the easy way to fix your problem is bypass the points and condenser with an electronic module. The problem I think will be moisture. Can you post a picture so we can see the motor. ![cheers2 cheers2](/forum/images/graemlins/default/cheers2.gif)

mattauto, How did you go with your module. Did it work? as I have done the same thing on a Briggs & Stratton motor and I am interested about what happened with yours. ![rolleyes rolleyes](/forum/images/graemlins/default/rolleyes.gif)
