Looking at purchasing above motor. Are parts still available? Hard to find? It has a nuetral clutch. Don’t want to purchase if going to be impossible to get running. It’s in good to excellent condition. Thanks

Shouldn’t be that hard to find what you might need. I went thru one a couple of years ago,
and I wouldn’t have even called it in “good” condition, but it didn’t take much to get going.

It might have those coils made of unobtanium. Water pump impeller is make-your-own.

I didn’t think it had the universal magneto. But if impossible to find ignition parts I may pass. I like to make them run. Not looking for a wallhanger. Other than pulling the flywheel , any way to know what ignition it has? I have pics but not a model number at the moment.

Yup just like Buc says, my ’52 has the standard coils also! The low speed adjustment is left hand tread. Not a bad motor, the gearcase can be a mystery! That motor looks good, it has a screw driver in the handle. You probably know that!

This is model 4443. If my search was correct this also has the universal magneto And I had forgotten about the screwdriver in the handle! I think it may be worth a shot

Well, couldn’t pass it up very clean motor One owner I’ll Post some more pics once I get home and cleaned up And the screwdriver in the handle is pretty cool! And came with the original owners manual. Have to learn more about the carb. And figure out the impeller.

I’m quite sure your motor has a Tillotson carb on it. Maybe not though.
