So I installed the pertronix electronic ignition along with all the updates to my 641. First crank it started right up and ran beautifully. After about 2 hours of total run tim I was doing some final adjustments to the carb standing back listening to the engine and all of a sudden it sputters out. I tried to start it back (nothing). I trace my voltage all the way to the plugs. No spark! Pulled the cap rotor and dust cap and what do I see? The dust cover was actually touching the top of the rotating magnet of the electronic ignition kit and melted the bottom of the dust cap and wore a serious groove in the top of the magnet. So there was obviously a clearance issue that I was unaware of. Has anyone else had this problem? This sucks since I have to purchase another ign unit (crap there goes another $90).
