I have a users manual for that model, unfortunately it does not include a parts list. I will get a copy to you.

Have you tried a new plug?
With old plug cleaned and dried or new plug, try pouring a drop of petrol in plug hole replace plug and see if it will fire. This should help prove the ignition system is delivery a good spark at about the right time.
Does the magneto have an impulse unit on it, setting the timing for these is different, something I have not done.

I may well have a manual for the engine depending which one it is. Can you see any identity numbers eg S34 or S80 etc on the engine. JAP made a wide range of engines.

I assume you are releasing the decompressor once you have the engine swinging over nicely??!!

Please reload images as smaller files ie less than 3072KB. There is a guide in help and information section of the forum explaining how to do it using MS picture manager.

I have an idea the magneto is a WIPAC item from memory.

There is also a guide to adding photos and using MS picture manager to resize them in the Help and Information section of this forum.

Looking at the Briggsbits website it could be that the part numbers have changed, I would suggest giving them a try. Or Meetens may be able to help.

You are correct, the Ransome MG requires RTA cover as would any garden tractor/ride on mower. Pedestrian machines such as British Anzani Iron Horse, Trusty, Barford Atom etc even when fitted with a trailer or riding bogey are still covered by the NFU insurance. This is a specific question we have asked them about.
Terms of the insurance are covered in the BAVCC Safety Code which is sent to all members, copy will be included with April issue of The Cultivator.
Note it is possible to obtain RTA cover for shows and rallies only, these policies do not cover use on public roads where machine would require registration etc.

Not one handed if you look, there is a side handle for left hand.

Which model of Uni Horse? Photos will help with identifying it.

The magnets induce a voltage in the coil so no external supply from a battery needed. Circuit diagram for a Villiers flywheel magneto.

If not already featured this would be a good one for the main stream tractor magazines to see if anyone can come up with more information. I wonder if Nick Baldwin has any information from his A-Z of tractors series?

Look for ward to seeing photos. There is a guide in the help and information section about uploading photos.
