Regarding a magneto for a scout 45 engine. I have a magneto that has the body of a HD sportster or morris type magneto but the base is different. The mag has a aluminum machined base that fits the cast iron oil pump.
This mag has sat on a scout engine that has not run for 20 years. I am rebuilding the engine and want to use the magneto.
There is no drive from the magneto to the oil pump and the points cam appears to be for a single cylinder engine.
My question is assuming i am able to machine a drive to fit oil pump gear what can i do to make the points cam work? if a cam grinder shop was able to re-make the points cam what would the spec be?? could i use a points cam from a distributor and weld on.
its a cool mag and i want to use it, any help with ideas out there??
