Case SC magneto problem

The magneto on my 1949 Case SC will put out a spark. The tractor ran perfectly but the last time I ran it was in November. During that time we had a lot of humid weather here in Georgia so I suspect it is the points that are fouled. My problem is I have never went into a Case mag before. 1. Should I remove the cap with the mag still on the tractor?
2. What do I need to watch out for when I take the cap off?

Thanks a million
Randy

Seems like I read some where that a dollar bill could be pulled through the points to clean them.

Randy, You Can Remove Mag Cap While Mag Is On Tractor. Rotor Button Gear Is Timed To Mag Main Shaft. Dot On Shaft Must Align WITH TWO BEVELED TEETH On Rotor Button, Beveled Teeth Are Facing Rotor & Have Red Paint On Them. Can File Points & Set At .015 TH . To Check Timing Or Remove Mag. Remove Pipe Plug On Right Side Of Clutch Housing. Turn Engine Over By Hand & Look Through Hole Untill You See 3/16 Hole In Flywheel, Losen Mag& Push Top Of MAG To Engine. Then Remove Mag.

Brent,

I had a question about your instructions, and was hoping you could educate me please:

When you have centered the timing mark in the inspection hole, why do you say that you need to rotate the magneto flange towards the tractor to remove it?

Regards, -Schotte

a one dollar bill will work to clean the points but one hundred dollar bill works better.

I recommend using a Canadian 20 dollar bill ,at the top of the queens head is a crown and there is diamond dust in that area that is very good for this purpose.
