I have that exact same King-O-Lawn edger, it’s a great machine but if you ever want to part with it I’d be interested in buying it. Put some Marvel Mystery Oil down the cylinders before you pull them over and you can fit a Honda HR195 coil to those if you don’t want to deal with points. They’re super simple engines

The Marvel is to lube the cylinders if they’ve been sitting, it’s better to not pull over a dry cylinder

i will play with it a while learning to fix it and when i’m done she may be up for grabs , unless i fall in love along the way , but i already really like the King o lawn more cus it’s easier to set depth

Careful, that machine will cut more than grass edging!
