Check the obvious, like are all the parts there etc.. Then I would verify/set the point gap or replace the points as needed, more importantly check the wire that comes out of the magneto, this is called the P-lead with a multimeter(volt-ohm). Place the red meter lead on the wire and ground the black meter lead to the chassis or engine block. Cycle the kill switch ,when the switch is in the off position you should read zero ohms, when the switch is in the run or on position you should get an infinity or open circut reading. The condition of the P-lead is very important in the operation of the magneto. Good luck
