I have what I believe to be a '44 A. I inherited it when my granddaddy passed away and no one agrees on the year. There is no serial number plate on the machine at all so the only thing I have to go by is the engine serial number. My question is about the magneto which has quit firing. What can I do to check and repair it or what do I need to do to convert the machine over to a distributor type setup? I am also tinkering with the thought of converting it to 12v negative ground. The only electrical system part intact is the 6v starter. I have most all of the original parts but they have not worked in many years. I am a diesel truck mechanic so I am able to do this myself, I just don't know what I need to do it. (Magnetos were just a little before my time) Thanks for any help you can be. AK
