1956st engine magneto conversion

[Emerica1975]

Thanks for the info pumpguy! I’ve had a hard time finding much if any info on these smaller Bendix scintilla magnetos. There’s quite a lot on the ones that went into the mercury outboards but like you said they’re bigger. The one I found came out of an old Remington Mall 2mg chainsaw. But the points cam didn’t come with it. If you think of any more info or particulars on where I might find parts for them I’d be much appreciated. Thanks again!!

you dont have to look far. I have all the mounting parts as well as the mounting plate and bolts/spacers.

And you put food on the table...and made it happen. Did the same myself. I like antique M/C people because they're good people. Rock on Mutt.

That’s awesome Mutt!! I’d like to get the rest of the pieces I need. Thankyou!! It’s really been chore finding much of anything on the web.

let me get one of these magnetos set up on an actual motor, so I know that the spacers and arbor are right. I have 2 different arbors so I got to see which one is actually right. The cam I have is an extra, so you're good there.

[Emerica1975]

Sounds good to me. Thanks again for the help.

This is the magneto/generator on my 55 Hummer. Does anyone make a refurb/repo generator coil?
