Anybody here know a lot about the breakerless kits for small engines? I have to admit I am a little consused. I read many posts in many forum and am now even more confused.
I have several small engines that I am fed up with dealing with the points. Two small two-stroke-cycle outboard motors (1936 and a 1948). Also my 1980s vintage Tanaka two-stroke water-pump. Note the Tanaka is already breakerless but has ignition problems and no new OEM parts are available. I have a box with two-dozen new ATOM and Nova II breakerless kits that I had in new-old-stock from a dealership I used to work at. My confusion is the many different kits they made and what works with what. There used to be green, brown, blue, etc. modules for different engines. I do not have all the different colors. I know one kit used to be just for engines with coils that moved to advance timing. Others for coils that did not move. And more. I guess I could to this trial and error but would rather know what the heck I am doing first.
