here are a couple pics of the magneto. pretty sure this is a spark issue since I took the carb apart and found no issues. I know it’s hard to tell from a picture but do you see anything out of the ordinary? I changed the condensers when I changed the coils 3 years ago. the motor has sat since being run after the new parts were installed. points were not replaced and so I cleaned them up and re-set to .020. now I’m having trouble getting one set to be still when re-tightening after setting to .020. as I tighten the anchor screw, the points seem to wander.
on one of the coil heel sets, it’s looks like there may be a bit of rubbing. it is ever so slightly proud of the boss. I will fix that and align it properly.
also, the contact points themselves are either aligned or not, correct? there is no adjusting them as they are riveted at the factory, right?
please let me know your thoughts.
Make sure the thin washer is present under the anchor screw.Tighten the screw before you adjust the points.
