Soooo The wiring is a mess. I have to figure out what goes where and some of the wires are melted through and need to be replaced. Who knows how bad the carb/points are :P There is no key so I need to figure out which wires to twist together for now till I can get a new switch with key. Some of the belts look pretty bad and need to be replaced. I am still not sure if she even runs. Plug looks black like way to rich and or possibly burning oil. i want to get the wiring pieced together enough to hear it fire up before I go any further. So right now I am posting in the talk forum to get some guidance :)

Looks like a PROJECT! I would start by downloading a manual from the Simplicity site. Those 725's are pretty simple without too many wires. Looks like someone converted yours to coil ignition, the original ignitions cab be troublesome. Good luck

At least most of it is complete, they are often missing the emblems and original seat. I see someone has made many modifications over the years, You could stick with the car coil but you could replace the 3 leg magneto (under blower cover) and rewire it as original if you prefer.

I've seen a lot worse being restored. Looks like quite the project.dOd Good luck!
