[SEL] IHC Famous "Could you...."

[Peter Stauffer]

Mike,
 
My 6 hp Famous was built in 1911, hence it was fitted from the factory with battery and coil ignitor ignition.  Webster made the conversion kits available for many engines so that the user could update their engine to the latest and greatest form of ignition (at least in Webster's opinion) and at the same time do away with troublesome batteries.  I'll try to get some pictures of the setup on my engine this weekend.
