I have a stover hit and miss not sure hp but piston about 8 in and flywheel is about 36-40 in diam. ran good but now won't fire. has mag points inside chamber seem really wore. when points are snapped there is a little spark but not sure if it is enough. alot of carbon had built up also but after cleaning with a little emery cloth (like last time) it failed to fire. what now? can I get new points or can a guy silver solder or stainless to build up? should there be a gap? and where can I get parts for repairs. thanks alot folks

If you do need ignitor points they are available,
they are tungsten points so I don't know if silver
soldeir would work. They only cost about $3. from
the suppliers on Harry's web page as previously
recommended. Ignitor engines have a low tension
spark so even at the best of times it won't be as
thick a spark as you'd see from a high tension
mag. You might have to check to make sure that the
points are being tripped wide enough and that your
springs are OK. If you are ordering ignitor points
you might want to order a stack of mica washers
while your at it. All ignitors use them and they
are essential in keeping the stationary point from
grounding out. Goodluck, Wayne

Stover's are good old engines, still easy to get parts for and are good solid runners when everythings right. Try your question out on Harry's...lotsa good folks out there. Kind of the YTMAG site for old engines.

Let me know how you turn out!
