Did I mention I hate magnetos.Ive never been fond of them,I guess since 1976,June I beleive it was.Dad took one off of an A,dont recall why,maybe he was changing it to a distributor i dont know but i was playing with it and got quite a jolting shock from it.Anyways,I hate magnetos.Been working on mine today,bought a new coil,70 bucks at dealer,or stealer,new points condensor,cap plugs,and wires,total about 125 bucks.took apart old greasy grimy mag and cleaned everything up at work in parts vats,(please dont tell my boss,that was suppose to be sold yesterday.(company closing))installed the points and condensor,put in the new coil,put the caps on and connected the coil wire.Put on my workbench and spun it over slowly with the impact wrench and impulse is working fine.Got spark when I pull wire from cap and put near body of mag.Had good spark from each wire to body of mag,a nice big fat blue spark about a half inch away.Thought to myself,great its good now.Cmae home and put on my M after triple checking my timing.FINALLY,Im ready to try it out.NOTHING!ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!No spark nowhere.Pulled back off and took up to shop and tried again with the impact wrench.Good spark again!Put back on tractor and no spark.Didi I mention I really hate magnetos.Thought it may be in the switch I borrowed off of my brothers tractor,so i disconnected the wire,still no spark.The mag is now sitting in my shop in the vise after bench testing gaain and getting a good spark once again.What gives,anybody have a clue?
