Damn, this back burner is getting full.
Have an opportunity to pick this engine up. It is not seized, and I can only really nail down 4 things that it's missing.
The gas tank, the valve pushrod, the skids, and the little lever that goes from the governor to the throttle rod.
1922 Fairbanks Morse Z 1.5
.
This is the gov to pushrod piece. It may be a challenge to make something functional, but it'll have to be on the list at some point.

Buzz box??

Buzz box??

No, It's a low tension magneto unit. The piece and the picture that is missing, goes from the governor to the throttle linkage

Seen a whole bunch of similar engines this last weekend.

I can try to see if anyone close by here has some info for you.

That's not low tension, it has a spark plug. Looks like a Bosch AB33/34 mag that someone has put a horseshoe magnet on. Originally they were just flat magnets on either side.

Yeah, it's a 33. Figured that out and forgot I called it the wrong thing here.
The magnet: I found a pic of one somewhere else with one like that.
Is it possible it was an upgrade?

The magnet was never an upgrade with F-M but I've heard of it being done. The problem I see is that the mag was held down with a crossbar and bolts on each side of the mag. You're going to have to figure a way to mount it.
