I don’t want to stretch the spring. I noticed in the picture of the ignition plate that the rods appear to be protruding out at least 3/4 to 1″. This means that those rods extend down into the hole some undetermined length. Mine are barely 3/4″ long.
How can I find out if anyone has these rods for sale or knows the original length of the. I can get conductive rods from McMaster Carr, and I think graphite can be machined. But I would at least like to buy the right diameter and then cut them to length and radius the tops.. If those rods are not making good contact I can see where they would cause a problem with the engine firing properly.
Are their experts out there on the HS39 1939 Johnson Sea Horse?
