BN magneto spark from coil to plugs

coutrycousin · Jul 24, 2018

I have spark out of coil but no spark to plugs. New cap and rotor. Could I have put it out of time by taking cap off points? #1 piston is up on compression stroke. Rotor points at #1 pole on the cap. Should it be 1/2 way between, or have I got it out of time?

If you took the little cover off over the gears the drive the rotor by mistake while looking for the points, the gears that turn the rotor could very well be out of time.

When cranked slowly, the otor should stop a ways ahead of the #1 high tension terminal as the impulse spring winds up, then snap past the #1 terminal, with spark occurring as it is more or less centered on the terminal.

Fortunately, it's really easy to verify if it's right and correct it if not.
