    Just a quick update…….have not run it again but closer examination in the daylight showed the coil laminations were splayed out and rub mark on the magnets. This was caused by super excessive wobble on the magneto plate. Since we are using the ATOM igntion modules instead of points this does not affect spark however that much wobble to cause the ru bmarks can’t be good! My friend is switching out the mag plate with one from a spare poarts motor which has minimal wobble. Thsi could be the magic bullet. WIll updated again on the next session. Thanks!
