Tecumseh Electronic Ignition Conversion

[23 Reo 229]

I have an older Tecumseh 10 hp that I would like to convert to electronic ignition. The engine number is HM 100  159  9120M  SER 713SD. How would I do this and what specific parts would I need?

Do you mean the solid state ignition Techy used for several years or are you trying to replace that...

If you have an engine with points and you are looking to eliminate the points. This will do the trick. It is an electronic pick up designed to replace the points.

Just added electric ignition to his tech 12

@Ed Stoller isn't on Redsquare very often but he's been working on perfecting a kit for many years. I have one of his kits here that I'll likely be using on one of my OHV160 engines.

I am trying to get rid of the points.

If you're trying to get rid of the points all together I would highly recommend calling Ed. I have his contact information here. If you send me a PM I'll get it to you.

 

Another possible option would be to leave the points in there or install a new set but change over to the small module that is sold for the pulling engine crowd. I can't remember the name of it but it might come to me eventually. It replaces your condenser and it takes almost all the amperage away from the points.

I've used these with good success on chainsaws but also had to change the flywheels to account for about a 10* difference in timing.

Think this is the thread. Fairly inexpensive fix.

From other emails, the Tecumseh HM100 has a capacitance discharge ignition but it is not a 610748, 610855, 610759, or a 610906.

Thanks for chiming in Ed. I was hoping you'd see a notice.
