I have an old gardenmaster 100 rotovator (beaver powerspade) with continual spark problems. I want to convert it to electronic ignition, but can find no identifying marks on the engine.
The label on the frame says gardenmaster 100 by landmaster ltd serial number E10845.
The plate on the flywheel cover says beaver powerspade number 80112 0242-01 78020801.
I believe it is a B&S engine but there does not seem to be any marking on it anywhere, it certainly looks like a B&S and the magneto looks the same so I hope one of their conversions would work.
Can anyone identify the required conversion unit from the above info please.

B&S have solved this one for me. I emailed them the details above and within 2 hours they came back with a complete parts list with drawings and the part number for the electronic unit. I have now fitted this and it works great. Easy fit too just cut off all the old wires from the points, bolt it on, set the flywheel gap and away you go.
Full marks to B&S for standard of service.

This certainly sounds like a B&S motor and you'll need the electronic ignition coil system that bolts onto the outside. However, I don't know if the magnets on the original flywheel will work - should do I think - and also is there some location for the new coil to bolt on to?
