1150 power head

[katbird]

Someone just brought me a different power head same year 1976. First thing I did was check the compression and #1 thru #6 checked 125 lbs. I had to give $375.00 for it but he left the starter and stator and flywheel on the engine.The distributor puzzles me, I thought it had points but this has a rotor plate, neveer delt with anything like this before.Is the rotor button made on the dist. shaft? I'll have to purchase a manual to learn to replace the timing belt and set the timing.Been a auto mechanic for years but these two cycles are greek to me. Thanks

Re: 1150 power head

Yes, get the manual. It's a CDI ignition. Set it up as per the book.<br /><br />Also run a can of "Mercury Power Tune" as directed through the new one.<br /><br />You might wanna see my other post and "do the toon" to your old powerhead while it's set aside. As an emergency spare.<br /><br />Once you've done it once, you can swap powerheads in an afternoon. <br /><br />-W
