Breaker Points on Wisconsin AEN Engine

This video is a brief introduction to the old breaker points ignition system on Wisconsin single cylinder engines using an AEN as the example.

Thanks for the video, I have two Wisconsin engines I got. One was said to run, other is unknown and sat 15 years. I'll see if I can find that website to look up the specs. Never had to work on a magneto or messed with them but good to know more about them now.

Is the condenser a special one for this engine and are they still possible to purchase?

[@mdnt_ramble7]

Hey if you have anytime, could I ask you a couple questions about a Wisconsin AENL?

Points should ideally be set with a wire gauge as opposed to a flat feeler gauge.

WHY? I've never seen anybody doing that.
