I decided to bench test this magneto that I have. It had been setting for who knows how long but when I opened it up, it was clean and neat inside. So, I decided to give it a little bench test. I had an extra drive assembly around here so I attached it to the magneto and put it in the vice. I took the top cover off. I hooked a piece of #12 wire to the side of the metal building and held the other end in my hand as I began to spin the magneto with my electic drill. I then brought my left hand and the wire towards the nipple on top....blue flame came sooting out of there over to the wire and it was getting to me somehow through the drill...the spark was a pretty blue and it knocked me backwards...I inspected that hot horseshoe fast and dropped both the wire and drill to the floor! My educated guess is...the magneto is good. :-) Tom Windsor
