Apparently, the problem was that the contact on the rotor was somehow too far away from the contacts on the cap. I pulled the rotor a little bit away from the rest of the magneto and then put the cap back on. I then got the #1 spark plug (connected to the distributor cap) to spark once. After that, I took the rotor off and put some pieces of burdock leaf in between the rotor and the shaft that turns it (but with the rotor still far enough onto the shaft that it can't turn without the shaft turning) and the magneto seemed to work properly after that.
