Re: Swapping low tension mag to universal magneto

[rco]

Well, I got impatient and put the magneto from a QD I had in my parts bin on it. Switched over the cam and throttle link. Expecting I would have to change the flywheel, I decided to try it just for kicks with the original. It fired on the first pull and runs like a Swiss watch. There is two opposite pairs of magnets on the flywheel, so you end up with a waste spark ignition firing at the top and bottom of the stroke like most snowmobiles. I can’t see this causing a problem, but I guess time will tell.
