Does anyone have any literature on the Owen Dyneto starter generator used on a 1930 Elto sr speedster? I’ve acquired a complete engine and it appears to be in great shape. The starter engages but no spark. I’ve got the parts coming to build a coil out of the military coil. (Anyone know a part # for a condenser for this?) under the small cone on top is a set of points/ timer? Not sure but they look all intact, however under the larger cone their is another set of points/timer that the VERY TINY wires have lost their insulation . Im gonna try to replace this wire with new but looks like maybe one end solders to the points themselves I’m sure this part is hard to come by and don’t wanna mess anything up for sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure why they did this because it’s just a simple slide type 3 position switch (I think) nothing to really break or go bad. I just touched the battery cables to a lawn mower battery and it turned over. (After spraying penetrating oil in the cylinders)

The naked wires I was referring to are on the brush ring assembly. as I said I ordered a military coil to rebuild the coil what is difference in 6 volt-12 volt? The parts list shows one for 6 volt and one for 12 volt application Once I get home I’m hoping I can look at the wiring diagram and make heads or tails of it. It IS a 3 position switch so…… OFF- ON and START so another question, could I start the engine then move switch to ON and eliminate the starter motor turning all the time at low rpm’s (seems it would last a LOT longer if this wasnt happening)
