    P.S.
    Mr.Asa I too have had problems with magnetos not being grounded to the engine. Actually you have two complete magneto systems & two GROUNDS.
    If one mag is not grounded the energy made will travel into the other mag system. TRY THIS: Run a small ground wire from the bottom of the mag plate & take the other end to the block somewhere & try that. My Mercury KF5 had new everything & would not fire. It needed a ground wire & now it runs perfictly. Think about it. THE PLUG MUST be grounded>
