Hi Tractor Guys: Have a Fairbanks Morse mag. from a small 1 cyl. eng. It has very weak spark. Even after cleaning all electrical connections and filing the points the spark will jump only the thickness of a post card. The impulse mech. works fine. How do I trouble shoot the problem?

It's sad, but can you give me some advice. Thanks Bill
