Just to be certain- the kill switch should be open, not closed, to start. On aftermarket switches, this will be the “off” position.

I have tried it with the switch on and off and the actual kill switch wire completely off too. Tried everything. I believe it is bad or I am missing something beyond my expertise in it. I have reached out to some to see about help.

Sounds like you need some personal attention to do this for you.

Pretty much! :-) I’ll be reaching out to the local Co-Op to see if they can help / work on it or if they know anybody.
It sucks this is the only thing stopping me from getting it kicked over after 2 years. Haha

I once owned a 1938WC, beautiful machine. The mag would make spark when held in my hand and turned over with a thumb over the plug wire holes, oh yeah. Reinstalled it and timed it with the "F" on the flywheel and cranked a few hundred times in all "correct" positions and with #1 in compression stroke.So for the meantime I Fab'd a battery box and installed a distributor starts every time, even after sitting for 9 years. I guess I am a procrastinator. |
You don't time it to the F unless it's running and you have a light on it. F is fire and is not used for static timing. TDC is for static timing the mag. I doubt it would ever pop, if you time it o the F mark.

I don’t know what your talking about. LOL - however, the magneto itself isn’t generating power. I have tested the magneto every which way. Watched videos, posted posts on here, tried others suggestions. Etc.
No spark is coming through at all. What I have done though, it set the #1 piston to TDC. Then put the magneto cap to set at 1. Put it all back, plugged the wires up properly. Nothing.

So....maybe you have a bad magneto then? Have you checked the points? Have you checked the resistance of the coil?

Is there any chance the stud that the kill switch is connected to is grounded against the mag housing or the wire to the stud has come off inside? I believe it is supposed to be insulated from the case. Hope I got that right.

b, Guys that know the electrical on these old mags make it look easy to trouble shoot problems. Or even electrical in general. When we had the mag on the WD when it worked it was great. When it didn't Dad had to get the local expert to stop and get it working. Regards, Chris
