I aligned it to the wrong set of marks before. Now I was able to time the magneto just like everyone said, and it trips right at TDC. Still doesn't fire though. Could something have happened to my magneto to make it give a weak spark, just from taking it off and steel brushing it? One thing that I'm suspicious of is, I used Engine-Brite and water. I was very careful not to get the lug side wet, but I'm sure some water got one it. I'm guessing there's an oil seal there, but seeing as I was cleaning it with brake cleaner just before, and all the brake cleaner disappeared, I think that seal failed. How hard is it to ensure nothing inside looks bad? I read that the iron core can get rusted, and result in a weak spark. To all those that replied to my previous posts, thanks for your help! ffolkes
