On a regular a half inch of spark would jump the safety inside the mag, your looking for 1/4" of bright blue spark. Time to disassemble the impulse and clean all the rust and crud from inside it.

You should consider sending that mag to someone like Nebraska Kirk for a rebuild and eliminate the question if its the mag or not
