Rotoettes came with two different engines, either a Briggs & Stratton NP or a T - both 1.5 horsepower. They were made in Troy, New York ca. 1948 - so perhaps the first "Troy built?."
Ignition points are behind the flywheel and are set at .020"
For spark plugs, the engines used either a J8 with 14mm head, or a D14 with the 18 mm head. If you replaced the J8 with something different, it won't make a difference as long as it has the correct threads and the same reach. If the heat range is way off, it won't affect starting - it affects how long the plug with last - stay clean - etc. CJ8 is the same as J8 except it takes a 3/4" wrench instead of 13/16" and takes up less space. CJ6 also works, so will a J8J, etc.
You can get parts for the carb.
