Re: Flywheel Magnetizing

[Tubs]

What you describe is typical for that magneto.
Take the spark plug out and ground it to the
motor. Then spin the magneto as fast as you
can with just your hand. When the magnets
are in the proper location to the coil it will
produce a spark. You wont get a spark every
time because the magnets wont be in the
proper location every time. As a magneto
produces a stronger spark the faster it turns
producing a spark this way would indicate
that you have enough magnesium for the
motor to start and run. Or you could just
put some gas it the tank and try to start it.

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