Thank you Buccaneer,
You stated: “On the inside of the flywheel hub, there is a bakelite drum with a brass patch”. Should this brass patch have continuity to ground/flywheel in order to ground the plug that is not firing… The one I have is open !!!
Yes, the brass contact is grounded to the flywheel under the bakelite plate
with a little spring. Most likely it rusted away.
I carefully ground off the bakelite plate’s rivet heads to
get mine apart, then epoxied the rivets when re-installing it.
Perhaps someone will have a better idea. Photos would help
when you get to that point.
I just found photos of my HD-15, with the same type of magneto……
Make sure you mark the orientation of the bakelite plate before
you remove it.
