The universal mag was used on the 3 and 4 horse motors until ’84, the 6 until ’76, 9.5, 18, and 40 horse until ’73, 20 and 25 horse until ’72. The 2 horse used it until ’86 and the 1.25 and 2.5 horse motors used it from ’87 on.
Remember the cranky Low Tension mag as used on ’74 – ’76 9.9/15 horse motors? It and the Universal Mag were replaced with the superior CD (Capacitor Discharge) Ignition system as time went on.
