I will tell tou another way that works on any magneto: First locate your two magnets on the flywheel, Use a straight edje to mark the outside of the flywheel. Next disconnert all wires from the points & connect a wire going thru the armature plate, about 24″ long. now mark the laminations on the plate. With flywheel just set on the shaft install a small lamp & battery to the wire. As you rotate the flywheel you will feel the firdt set of laminations, there are three to each coil. It will pass the 1 & 2 laminations, then 2 & 3 with the magnets, at that point your coil has recieved the max electro-magnetic energy & the points should open firing the coil. If these events don’t happen your points cam may be upside down. Try turning it over 7 retest. It’s failproof with any magneto.
