    Thanks Mumbles! The parts diagram will help me rig something up that should work.
    Just a while ago, when checking spark plug routing, I came to the realization that
    the threaded hole on the port side of the motor is not for a kill button, but rather
    a friction plug for the magneto plate tension.
    However, on the end of the flange that the friction plug rides on, there’s a drilled hole,
    and that appears to be for the grounding assembly that kills the engine.

    Another mystery is the brass plate bolted on the mag bottom side. It shows it in
    the parts diagram, and has a part number for it, but I do not see it in the list.

    I also see what the spark plug wire hold-down clip, that I’m missing, looks like
    from the manual.
    Much appreciated!

    First photo shows where the plug wire hold-down should bolt to, and
    the mystery brass plate.

    I assumed that the condenser in mine, was a round condenser that someone
    soldered to the top of the old rectangular condenser can, and the diagram
    confirmed this.

    The kill switch hole, flange that the friction plug rides on, and again, the mystery brass piece.
