Well, I pulled the flywheel on my old Elgin. My magneto is complete and functioning properly although it looks.like the pinto need to be gapped properly. Looks like more than 0.020 gap there to my eye. Other than that it throws a mean spark and you can’t hardly turn the flywheel slow enough to not make a spark at the plug. I took some pictures to show what the complete magneto should look like. I’m glad my coils are still good. No way OMC coils I’m used to are going to fit over those laminations. My later Elgin has different coiks than this one. I believe the poins are the same between the two though. Also, the points appear to be contact points rather than breaker points. The points cam keeps both sets of points OPEN until they close to fire the plug. You can see the cam has a low spot cut in it and the rest is a larger diameter. That’s another thing I’m not used to.
