Hello again. I have made considerable progress with my S. As John S told me, the points were coated with a rough surface that needed rubbing. I have rubbed the surfaces. When I have rubbed and put the magneto cover back on, I have a nice blue spark. OK, I put gasoline on the tank, and crank the engine till my face turns blue. And - no start. When I take the spark plug out, there is no spark. So, I am back to rubbing the points, have a nice blue spark, etc. etc. Anyone who experienced anything similar? If the points are to worn, where can I get new ones? Are they "standard"? What kind of spark plug from todays sortiment should I buy?

Thanks!

Steinar Moen from Gudbrandsdalen, Norway

I don't know what brands of spark plugs you have available to you. Autolite 295's or Champion J8C's will work. The Autolite is probably the better plug. I think the plug may need to be grounded against the engine block to fire when removed from the head. You might get replacement points from John Saeli or magnetoparts.com.

This method takes two people but confirm that the engine is in time by holding your thumb over #1 spark plug hole while the 2nd person cranks the engine. BE CAREFUL WHILE DOING THIS!!! Confirm that the spark plug fires at compression. My SC has a distributor but a lot of the guys on the board talk about getting the mag 180 degrees off. Also make sure that your point gap is at least .018" (english - don't know the metric conversion) and your plug gaps are at least .025" for the best spark.

Hey Steinar: You have spark @ the points. That is good, but are you getting spark out the end of the wire to the plug. If you don't have Copper Spark Plug wires, get them. Spark plugs get fuel fouled & won't spark. I dry them out with a torch. Not too hot & slowly so you don't damage the porcelin. The porcelin will turn white. I like Autolite Plugs best. Keep us posted & good luck
