James, can you tell me a little more about the engine you have for sale?  Is the carburetor original to the engine?  Why the external coil?  Why is only one spark plug used and the other capped off?  Has the engine been rebuilt?

Thanks,
Bob

the engine looks real clean but i cant say for certain it was rebuilt, its got what appears to be the original carb which is also very clean. i dont know why the engine is using an external coil this is the way i got it. the second spark plug hole is fine, just capped but unscrews. it will come with the exhaust manifold as seen in the pics.  i also have a 150CC with phelon ignition which appears rebuilt and ready to install the barrel and new piston the serial begins with an "h" on that engine. if there is interest, ill sell that one also. id like 1300 for that one.

you can email me  jim062568@yahoo.com

Well a external coil would get a good spark to the plug. I would like a peek under that flywheel.  ???

I was just wondering. I have a McCullough motor that I"m trying to part with. If you are looking. It is need of a overhaul and near complete. It even has a mount to bolt it on to whatever.  8)
