magneto on an M

Having issues with I believe the magneto on an M for the neighbor. Sometimes it fires and sometimes it doesn"t. when it gets hot sometimes it will just shut off and never fire again. How do you check the magneto? would the bearing be goin bad or is there too much gear lash?

Thanks
 
You may need a new set of points and a condenser. They're the cheapest to replace on the mag. Then pull off a plug wire and use a pair of insulated pliers while the engine is running. You should have a hot blue spark from the plug wire. If the new condenser doesn't help you probably need a new coil on the mag. Hal
