I'm a newbie with a 149. Previous owner did not appear to be big on electrical knowledge. The battery was installed with polarity reversed which I assume was responsible for regulator failure and all the battery electrolyte boiling away.
Anyone have a regulator for sale?

It was also fitted with a coil marked "12V" "external resister required", mounted using a bracket with mounting holes too wide to engage both coil mounting holes on the engine and with condenser mounted to the unbolted coil clamp bracket ear with a hose clamp. I assume the lack of a resister and/or improperly grounded condenser is what caused the points to fail completely. I see ICC coils for sale on eBay but not all appear to have a provision for the condenser mounting on the coil mount bracket. I can imagine this part might have had limited usage due to its requiring the coil mounting bracket to be properly grounded. On the other hand, I notice the new condenser I just purchased is not intended for mounting on a flat surface such a under a coil mounting bracket bolt (and the hole is too small to boot) but appears it would be suitable for mounting on a coil mounting bracket incorporating the little tab intended for condenser mounting.

Is there someone here who knows the correct condenser mounting for the 149?

Anyone have a proper coil (I assume with internal resister) and bracket for sale?

Your information is sought and good information will be appreciated.
