    First I’ll tell you what I do know. These little
    magneto will put out a spark just by giving
    them a good twist with your hand with the
    spark plug out. With the module its not even
    close.
    Will it start pulling over with a rope? Not
    sure as I didn’t try to. When I get the mag
    turned around and try it again that will be one
    thing I will try.
    How does it work? I don’t understand how any
    of this crap works. I believe the module senses
    when the polarity of the magnet changes as
    it passes over the coil and then produces the spark.
    How that is possible is beyond me and I may
    be totally wrong here and that’s not how it works
    at all.
    Here is something I’m curious about. If you
    put them in a 2 cylinder. Like the OMC universal
    mag that has points for each cylinder would you
    need to switch the plug wires?
    More experiments to come. I’ll be posting the
    results.

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
