Well I am new to the site/forum as of today and saw this post. I am not sure where you got with the project but the one thing I don't see mentioned it the possible swap of the wiring harness. I was going to attempt a similar repair to an old Murray I had but decided against it when I discovered that the original ignition switch on the Murray did not have a 12V switched source to use to power the solenoid. I am not sure if this is the same in your case but hope you were able to complete the project.

I did manage to get the swap completed with one minor complication. The wiring was not a problem, it was as easy as plug and play. The only item that I had to swap over was the throttle cable from the donor. Other than that everything was easy. I was actually surprised the exhaust worked out. I thought I was going to have to do some modifications, but it bolted on and fit between my hood brackets perfectly. If the weather permits tomorrow i'm going to try and take some pictures, and get em' posted on here.
