moggyjim replied to the topic Merry Tiller Briggs Magnetron Clone Coil in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 5 years, 8 months ago

i have used the clone coils with no problem. But i look out on the internet sites for used genuine ones from scrapped mowers. My titan gt has a 7hp briggs and that has a bigger version of the magnatron . If the paint has gone from the shroud and has no sticker you can tell the size by the number of bolts holding the shroud on, one bolt at the top…[Read more]
moggyjim replied to the topic Howard Rotavator with Howard 360 engine in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 5 years, 8 months ago

moggyjim replied to the topic merry tiller info in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 5 years, 9 months ago

yes mine is the earlier model i have a 5hp shroud and it is miles to small. There is little wear on the machine just a shame no blower cover???
moggyjim replied to the topic merry tiller info in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 5 years, 9 months ago

Yes is was used as a paddock mower and spent its life outside.the engine has compression and the 3 pin coil so no points to worry about.I am not sure if the cowl size varies from hp to hp so not sure what to chase down.
moggyjim started the topic merry tiller info in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 5 years, 9 months ago
