I wanted to get one of these engines. The engine is bulletproof, the new ignition module is rare and will costs as much as new engine.
I thought there was a fairly inexpensive aftermarket ignition module available for that engine. Or am I confusing it with the Toro/Lawn Boy/R-tek engine module?
I haven't done a lot of research on the 47P so, I could very well be mistaken.
Nonetheless, I've converted to using Tecumseh HSK8xx and TH139 engined SS machines, other than the one and only Toro I have. Which hasn't been out of the shed once this year. Not sure if I'd classify the Tecumseh two strokes as "bullet proof" yet. However, considering the use/abuse they've been getting whithout so much as a whimper, at the very least, I'd have to say they're pretty stout.
