Correct 'Fish... this one also has a SG and trying to finger out if this is the original motor. Was thought to be magneto ignition but no magnets under the flywheel.

Some signs say yes some say no. It has the correct hardware but lots of blue paint under red. Not to say it was repainted for OEM. All comes down to who knows what in 50 + years. 

DEMCO = Design Engineering & Manufacturing Co. Paul...short lived company that was bought out by ...you guessed it ...AMC ... who wanted to cut corners and led to the demise of Amigos.
