Just a recap, H with H4 magneto sputtered and quit. Spark from coil wirw to ground, but not from plug wires to ground. I replaced the cap, rotor, points & condensor with no change in the situation.
I tried disconnecting the kill switch wire on the off chance that there is a partial short that weakens the spark and still no change. Someone suggested that the gears behind the rotor could be out of time. I haven't taken them apart, so I thought that couldn't be the problem. I was just taking a closer look at it and found that the rotor has about 15 degrees of rotation in free play. That doesn't seem right to me. 1. Is that right? 2. If not, can I get just a set of those gears to change out? 3. If it is o.k., it was suggested that the coil may be getting weak but I should check the magnets before replacing it. How do I get at the magnets to check them? This was a rebuilt mag about 15 years ago and has been quite reliable. Thanks, Ed
