I would take that mag to a shop that repairs mags
and has the equipment to check it out. Those mags
have a kill switch to ground out the mag when shutting down the engine. Was that mag on the tractor when you bought it? If you pulled that mag off the tractor, don't rotate the engine. You should've notice where the rotor was pointing
when you removed it.

Hold on to the end of coil wire that goes into cap and snap the impulse coupling and see if any
fire is present. Those coils do go bad, but I would remove the cover over the coil and take a screwdriver and touch those magnets with the blade to see if the magnets are strong. They should really pull that screwdriver in against the magnet. The magnetic field is what creates the spark from your coil. Hal
