Making a magneto weatherproof

Posted by Steve W (NY) on December 01, 2004 at 13:59:39 from (24.213.210.222):

Had an interesting experience this past weekend. I was cutting wood when it started to pour buckets from the sky. Got the BN started, and heading fast for the barn, when she started bucking. Quit right in the pasture. Pulled the coil wire, and no spark. Not fun in the rain. Grabbed the Stihl and made a run for it. LAter the sun came out, and I went down and she started right up. She runs great normally, so I am sure it is moisture. Is there any good way to moisture proof a mag? Normally, the hood would keep it dry, but did I mention it was pouring? and the wind was driving it straight into the mag.

Thanks in advance,
Take Care,
Steve
