I just bought this engine in mid-October (2009). I spent a couple of weeks cleaning it up and repairing a few things, and got it started for a test start. I started it using a battery and coil, but then shifted over to the magneto to make sure it would run on the mag, and to make sure I got the mag properly timed. Works fine!
Photos of the cleanup and repair can be seen here:
