I am working on finding someone to rebuild the magneto. In the manual upgrades are mentioned to sealed bearings. Mine has the old style with a cork spacer and a seal in the case. I find tractor mag rebuilds and the Kiekhaefer mag mentioned so that part is underway.

There seems no reason not to do a total rebuild as everything is there. Any bearing I have uncovered seem rough so I will keep going. The bearings in the lower unit were rough as well as the mag. I can see into the cylinders and don’t like the look of the walls of the cylinder. Rings don’t look bad but all that has to come apart.

Thanks for the response, at the moment I am stymied by the lack of a tool or too…
