    Someone mentioned once, on some forum, about trying to use
    an old thermostat mercury switch. Not sure if there’s be a way
    to mount them, etc. Cant’ imagine the wire attached to it
    would be heavy enough.

    I didn’t have the crankcase apart, but that’s not saying it couldn’t be leaking.
    The magneto has new wires, etc., and was bench tested on the Stevens tester.
    Can’t imagine it’s arching. I’m hoping it’s just the carb way "out of whack".
    Will experiment more tomorrow.
    Thanks.
