on a 48 wico magneto.
On the magneto cover/cap there's a little round glass window.
what is this used for?
I always assumed it's for timing - so you can see where the rotor is without removing the cover... (though mine is so cloudy you can't see anything through it, so I could never see what I was supposed to see...).
I can't imagine what else it could be.
But I'd like to know for sure - so then when people ask I can actually answer without adding "I think..."
