Reply To: 1961 Elgin 25HP

Thanks for the reply Frank, from what I could dig up I see its a Elgin Branded Scott Motor Model 574.60350 – 27HP, Battery ignition.. it does have a diagram pasted under the hood as well.. I havent had tons of time due to other projects to work on this but eager to. What I have tested so far after putting some oil in the cylinder and hand pulling to lubricate things, I removed sparkplugs and tested spark with throttle lever in start / shift in neutral, was not getting any spark. I also tested jumping the neutral switch to bypass that, same result. Also tested starter with batter plugged in, jumping red to white on the wiring block. I suspect ill need to clean the points at minimum but before I go and pull off the flywheel when my puller comes in I wanted to check with someone that may be familiar with the wiring diagram to see if my test is flawed or confirmation it shoulve yielded a spark. Any help would be appreciated.
