Old school ....

Aw crap, thought I'd seen the last of those when I converted my old A series to Lumenition 3 - 4 decades ago...  

Be sad to let it rot though, so we'll persevere.

Very simple thing to do on those if you didn't already know is disconnect the lead to points form stop switch, remove coil and fit a coil from say a 6800, this is the stand alone type, no need for trigger, it's in the coil! connect the cut of wire from the switch and away to go, straight swap does away with points and runs better. I have used many cheap Chinese coils for this swap, only because of cost and as yet no problems with any. Points are ok, but prefer hassle free coil set up. Let me know if you need a link. Nice looking 112 by the way😉

Thanks for that. I got a sniff of the coil swap after a bit of goggling - seems like the 112 was upgraded to 'coil only' later in its production run. I think deleting the points is the obvious thing to do with it so any experience would be a great help.

Saw is in very good condition - I think it has had its problems, so probably stored for most of its life. It does now run, but behaves like it has an air leak so I'm being a bit cautious with it. Also signs of previous tinkering, gets the alarm bells going....

 

Thanks again.

I've got a 112 and pretty sure that has no points. Not absolutely sure of the year but think 77 or 78.
