Not sure of what type magneto you have, and unclear about how you"re testing it (other than cranking it over), but, you didn"t mention anything about having your wires and plugs attached to the magneto, and that has to happen. Also, the base of the plug has to make contact with the frame or engine block to provide a ground for the mag. The other thought, is that you should here a "snap" coming from the mag as you crank it over--- that"s the sound of the impulse coupling spring winding up and relesing, which creates enough speed for the mag to fire. If you"re not hearing the impulse operation, that"s a place to start. I hope I haven"t confused you more, but, you"re not very clear on your testing procedure...
