I have an early 60s Lincoln SA200 and was
not firing after sitting for several
years. It was running when it got parked,
so I know that much is in good shape. I
took the magneto off, checked everything,
and lined the C up on the timing gear with
the mark on the smaller gear and now after
I put everything back together and set the
rotar at the 4 o'clock position, the gear
in the back is straight up and down, not
crossways as I understood it should be.
And I have no spark anywhere, but I know
it's putting out power because when I
turned the gear on the back my left hand
was against the coil tab and it bit me
enough to know that it's hot. What have I
done wrong?
