Thanks to all who helped with my earlier carbeuretor related post. Alas, my first IH is turning out to be a bit of a pain -- carb now fixed, she still won't run worth a darn. The machine in question is my newly acquired Cub SN 5233. I replaced spark plugs, plug wires, points and condensor, inspected and cleaned rotor and cap and still only a weak spark at a test spark plug. Put a test wire directly into the high voltage discharge of the coil and the spark will only jump about 1/16 in. and is yellow. I'll try and see if a coil is available locally and swap it. BUT, if that doesn't do it then I'll need to get into the guts of the magneto itself, and the books I have so far whimp out when it comes to the mag -- they just say "refer to your IH dealer." No offense to IH or to dealers, but in my area I wouldn't bet on the dealer recognizing a mag, let alone working on one. Where can I get a GOOD DETAILED manual that will cover the mag? I have a little magneto experience so a more technical manual is okay. Are there any parts sources other than IH dealers? I'm hoping that once I get all the kinks worked out of the old cub that she'll be a dependable runner, but so far it doesn't look good. Many thanks, Pete P.
