When I put a screw driver up to mine it does not stay. Sorry this answer is no help to me to help you. I am not trying to joke around I am only trying to understand what you have done to your Magneto. You stated it is not firing a spark did you pull the magneto off the engine and then put it back on? If so did you put it back on time and made Shure the Magneto is on time with the engine? Some time Magnetos can be hard to put back on the engine because when you think they are in time they can be off after they snap and send the spark to cylinder. Thus means if it snaps and send a spark if this is off it will spark late. This means that the spark than is a back fire and it will not run meaning the amount of timing is off. Means than you have to determine the degrees it takes for the snap to happen to make it fire on time. I should know I have pulled and fix many Magnetos Thus understanding most people do fail on installing them. They forget that you have ex mark degrees for that snapping to happen before the spark. I might add the contact between the rotor and the cap must be in line when firing the spark to that cylinder. You might have a good magneto but it may not be on time. Some thing to think about.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
