Re: WD-3 Wizzard outboard motor?

Thanks to an observant friend who kept track of magnetos on motors that passed thru
his hands data indicates:

Post war Wizard WD3S Eisemann Model 61H magneto
Post war Mercury KD3 (early) Eisemann 61K, KD3(late) Bendix Scintilla K1-6
1947/8 Green Tank KE3 Bemdix Scintilla K1-6

1940/41 Sea King single( a basic model made for Montgomery Ward by Kiekhaefer)
and 1941 Mercury KB3 used Wico FW 1329B
No data on prewar Wizards

Mercury chart indicates all other prewar models use Eisemann Magneto
need observations to confirm model and version for both singles and twins
of both Mercury and Wizard. Kind of a hair splitting subject ,but, magnetos
are often in need of service and parts may need to be sourced.

More date would firm up matters.
Note: the Wizard and Mercury use different models of Eisemann 61 Magneto

It is possible to swap Eisemann and Wico magneto models listed above as the
mounting is the same. Models with Bendix Scintilla magneto are mounted
differently to a revised crankcase casting which will not accept either
Wico or Eisemann magneto.
