Jerry,
Thanks for the help. I got both mine running very well. They may be the smoothest running motors I have ever worked on the magneto advance on them has a lot more control and movement than any I have ever seen which I think combined with the Tillotsen carb and Wico magneto makes for a terrific smooth running engine. When you put them in gear they are just as smooth no gear crunching.
I have noticed that the 6 vein impellers siera makes 18-8903 doesn’t work near as-well as the original OEM West Bend 6 vein impeller. The original West Bend impellers had very large balls on the ends of impeller where the siera aren’t near as round. One of the West Bends I took apart had a 10 vein impeller in it I believe this is the impeller http://www.ebay.com/itm/321793969083?_t … EBIDX%3AIT they work a lot better than the siera 18-8903 and will be what I most likely put back into these motors. I am running 2 old 6 vein OEM West Impellers right now and they pump very well. You can see my 12s running here if you would like to watch.

Note: I did try electronic modules on these motors and they would not work they were firing at the wrong time.
