But is the spark happenng @ the correct time? Did you try a new plug? Check/gap the points to like.018 and since it has spark plug directly over the piston, you can check to timing-to-piston TDC interval. (That is how old 2-sycle's were set up. You initially gap the points and dial in the timing with a dial indicator throught he plug hole. And use a battery powered coninuity test light to ley you know whent he points open and the spark is released. Massive Vsti Crack Mac. ) Definately a neat little motor ya got there!

Johnson Iron Horse Background Production began at Peterboro Ontario and Waukegan Illinois in 1935 and continued in Canada until 1952. During the seventeen years of production there were approximately two hundred and fifty thousand engines made in Canada this does not include generator sets as they had there own series of serial numbers.
As production ended it turned to a two-cycle aluminum engine with a horizontal crankshaft. These engines filled the gap left by the original Iron Horse and would also be used on washing machines, lawn mowers etc. Whether these engines were not reliable or the fact that the rotary mower was now flooding the market, the need for a gas-powered washing machine was limited and this engine was soon discontinued. The name Iron Horse did continue to be used on the two-cycle rotary engine until the early sixties. There is not as much information known about production at Waukegan. As I stated in the beginning, production started in 1935 but exactly when it ended is not known.
It has been speculated that it ended about 1947. This is based on the fact that there were never any US engines made with air vain governors and recoil rope starters both of which appeared in Canada in 1947. I have started a US made engine serial number list to try and track US production. At this time I have engines with serial numbers up to 168502. In time I hope that this number will rise as more engines appear. As with the Canadian engines this does not include generators. It should be noted that Lawn Boy mowers were sold under the Evinrude name with Iron Horse 4 cycle engines.
These engines did not have a serial number attached and had a Lawn Boy decal tag. There were several types of generator sets with Iron Horse engines but sold under other brand names (Blue Diamond, Sampson and Sears). Models There were five basic model groups excluding generator sets. These groups were the bases for all models that followed.
As this engine was accepted by industries for its reliability and durability the model base grew. For instance in the beginning there was one basic model the X101. In 1936 the X200 and X300 series were introduced with ten models each to comply with industries demands for variation. For example some required different types of exhaust, choke cable, pulleys or kick pedals depending on the application.
The variations grew with demand, as each customer wanted a tailored model for their application. See chart below for model numbers. The model base and descriptions I have made below will be kept simple in order to avoid any confusion. X100 series one-piece block with Vacturie suction carburetor (see Type 1) X200 series one-piece block with Vacturie suction carburetor (see Type 1) X300 series one-piece block with Johnson suction carburetor (see Type 2) X400 series two-piece block with Johnson suction carburetor (see Type 2 & 3) X500 series two-piece block with Tillotson float carburetor (see Type 6) I have put together the model list below to help identify models and give a better overview of the models themselves. Some of the model numbers came from collectors; the rest came from Johnson manuals themselves.
