    may not be faulty coils… maybe the magnetic field is weak… maybe condensers are bad… have you tested them ??

    I guess that’s possible. I don’t know how to test a condenser. On mid 50s motors I usually just install new ones since they’re so readily available.

    I tested continuity in the coil. The primary windings tested fine, but the secondary was very week. The needle on my meter barely moved. And so I figured that is why the spark looks so weak and white.

    I will search for a good way to test a condenser. I don’t have any testing equipment. Where would I find the microfarrad requirements for this old magneto? Any ideas?

    Thanks!
