C-101plowerpower 1,606 #4 Posted July 7, 2014 welcome to rs, are the magnets in the flywheel plenty strong? can't remember those engine's having a seperate coil, are the point's just cleanend? or did you adjust em to the proper settings. Koen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pondtet1 2 #5 Posted July 7, 2014 the magnets in the flywheel are very strong. the coil has a wire that goes down to the condensor or something. and i only cleaned the points. didnt wanna go messing with them without knowing the specs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,498 #9 Posted July 7, 2014 I have 4 of these 35's and know a little about them. From my understanding in 57 you could have one with a kohler k90, clinton 1200 and I believe they offered a briggs but now sure what model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,185 #10 Posted July 7, 2014 Straight from the Horses Mouth lists '55-'56 RJ-25's as having B&S model 8's rated at 2.5 hp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #11 Posted July 8, 2014 Briggs models were only offered in 55 and 56... which was a Briggs Model 8 as Craig has stated. Steve is on point with the engines offered in 57... you may also even see a Clinton A1200 on a 57 RJ35 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
