How are you checking for fire? Do you hear a click in the magneto when it is turning over? this will not make any differance when looking for fire, but you do need the impulse working to start it later, it retards the timing to make it easier to start. The easiest way to check it is to mark everything, take off mag, take a 3/8" air impact and spin it backwards, while grounding plug against case. it will show you if you have fire. If nothing, take a voa meter and see if you have coninuiuty between the point contacts when they are closed, if nothing, then you need to replace or clean points and reset to .017 point gap. If this still does not get you fire, then replace points and condensor. If that does not do it, then you may need a coil. You might also stick a small screwdrive in and touch the rotor area and make sure th magnet has not lost its charge, not very likely, but is alwasy possible.
