Re: phelon vs scintilla magnetos

[chinewalker]

I’ve only ever had issues with the later Bendix magneto with the Bakelite cover. I’ve had good success with the earlier Bendix mags with no cover and the points with parallel arms. Not sure what the difference in performance was, but the later ones always seem to drop a cylinder at low idle. New parts, clean points, etc. and they always seem to be a bit weak at low speeds. I’ve never had that issue with the earlier mags…
