could someone help if they can. i have a 1970 scrambler basket case. i want to get it running again and have some fun with it. my problem is that someone has taken and put a briggs in it, and it dont run. i want to put a Tecumseh back in it. i would like to get one with an Alternator/generator. i found out that a Tecumseh makes a new engine that would work but no lighting coil. so after all of that would this work
Product Number: OH195EP-71803
6.5 HP Tecumseh Alternator
Overhead Valve Design
Shaft Size: 3/4" diameter X 2-1/4" long
or stick with the other that will work without the lights?
any help would be great on this.

I have no clue if the later TEC OHV motors will fit in the frame. There is a complete 70 Roadster on ebay. That bike has a lighting coil in the motor and could run your lights

an2wan,
So..............if you can wait a little......I will have a lighting kit on EBAY that fits the new engines and is wired for Rupp's. ( HS40, HS50, HS35 powersport engines). That way you will get an engine that fits without modifications.
My kit uses a standard Tecumseh lighting coil from larger engines to get the amps needed to run headlight, tail light and Brake light. The problem was figuring out what magnets to use to get the typical dimming at idle that the Rupp's have (hey, finally got to use my college education....) The magents I found have to be cut in half, which is messy. Then I have to clean the magnets and weight them to get a balanced set. (here's where there is a motivation issue....who likes to clean...). Also, the connector is no longer made, so I had to create one that met my standards. It plugs right in and has heat shrink tubing to keep the mud out.
My son's Hustler was the Guinea pig for the concept (minus the three prong connector). It's been running for a year now with no problems. But, his is not a Powersport engine....and is not an Roadster. So, with a tiny bit of coaxing, WFrutchey offered his son's R2 with a HS40 powersport engine to experiment on. It ran great at the minibike reunion. So my idea works....
With all my son's summer sports, I think it may be August or Sept. timeframe before the I get another kit together. I want to do an Ebay sale first to see what people will pay for the kit. I have enough stator's to do four right now. Just have to type up some instructions (thanks WFr4utchey for letting me take pictures....) and... cut and wieght magnets.
