the retaining plate under the magneto has 4 screw holes which must line up up the 2 long coil bolts and the 2 small base bolts
the 4 holes come as 2 pairs and must line up with the bolt positions so what I do is take a bamboo skeweer and poke it down a coil long bolt hole till it fits (lines up) in the retaining plate mating hole
when that happens all 4 screws (blots) will line up…
if not you are off-set by one screw hole …. remove the mag plate and readjust the retaining plate holes under the mag plate to line up with the bolt holes
poke the skeweer as before and begin turning the mag plate till the skeweer drops (lines up) with a screw hole..under the coil . retest and all 4 should line up with the retaining plate.
voilà… bolt it up careful with the point rub blocks and oiler pad when fitting the mag plate
takes a few tries but you will succeed
did you download the Johnson manual ??? see pages 29 and up
Johnson (leeroysramblings.com)
retainer ring is tapered… flat side goes UP taper DOWN
for ??? ….the ignition lead hold downs are difficult to release or tighten with magneto assembly mounted to powerhead.
the plug wire hold downs must be accessed and tighten while the mag plate if off the power head. when all is tiddy.. reinstall the mag plate
