Hello all,
My 1944 H with magneto ignition wouldn"t start for me last week. I narrowed it down to the magneto wasn"t giving any spark. When I pulled it off I tested it on my bench by putting a spark plug right to the coil wire, and was getting a rather irregular spark. So I got another good mag off the shelf, put a tune up kit into it and had good spark when I bench tested that one. I reinstalled and timed up the second mag and when I hit the starter it took right off. After cleaning up the driveway I let it run for a bit to help charge the battery, and all of a sudden it quit again. It refired once and ran for another 10 minutes or so and then it stopped again and wouldn"t restart. I checked the mag and sure enough, no spark again. I am kinda stumped now and am hoping someone here can be of assistance. Thank you.
