Callen 64 #1 Posted October 12, 2014 Got this K91. It has battery ignition.What do I need to get to put Magneto ignition on it? Will I need a different backing plate? TIA I'm going to put a regular carb on it and run gas,too. Chester Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH nut 553 #2 Posted October 12, 2014 I did a k161 and the backing plate didn't have to be changed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 15,960 #5 Posted October 17, 2014 Pull the flywheel, probably a coil and a bad condenser in there. The previous owner took the easy way out and just added an external battery coil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,865 #6 Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) That is a utility k91S. Came with a starter/generater set up and battery ignition. May be easier to put it back that way than to find the right stator for it as long it will fit in whatever its going to be mounted on. I have a "few" of those engines.

AMC RULES 36,954 #7 Posted October 26, 2014 Then, isn't that one of those tapered crank engines? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,865 #8 Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Then, isn't that one of those tapered crank engines? Its a regular crank as i see it. You need to remove flywheel and see whats missing from it. For sure the ignition coil but probably also the bracket assembly for it. I f none of that is there thats what you will need along with a condenser. Coil and condenser are easy to obtain but the bracket may be a bit of a chalenge. Edited October 26, 2014 by formariz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
