Hey guys, im new to the forum and also new in this world of restoration. I recently picked up my grandpas 1948 B and want to restore it and bring it back to its old glory. Got it home, and surprised to find i had not problem cranking the engine, so that was good news. After doing some minor maintenance in order to get it ready to try to start, i found that my magneto was cracked and completely corroded inside. I was able to relocate a used magneto that stated it had spark so i purchased it. Sadly no spark.
Bought a new cap, new plug wires and new rotor. Still no spark. Im new to magnetos but online searching is telling me that it could be the coil or the condenser. Anybody have any thoughts on the best way to test these two items.
