Is that why Rachel wasn't up to Hutchinson to see Creston... to busy creatin sparks in her life with a magneto...  Would have liked to seen her twist the mag over and jump some sparks...  ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not.

| Wrapping the insulator around the bearing is a nonstarter. Try nesting the paper in the bearing bore first, then work on pressing the bearing in. |

DO NOT adjust timing on your hand crank tractor the way she tells you to move mag around , Static Time it. ------------- He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless ,still dead. If all else fails ,Read all that is PRINTED. |

Actually she’s a Gingell. She and her Dad did videos working for Steiner for a long time, but I saw no mention of Steiner on this latest video. Trivia that’s probably only interesting to me, but I started watching her videos when I started reviving my Dad’s B. Only after a few months did I realize that she is the daughter of the neighbor of my Aunt and Uncle and her grandpa owned the farm across the road from my grandpa. This is in rural eastern Michigan north of Detroit. The only thing I would have added was some mention of what to do if the magnets are weak. ------------- 1951 B |

| It's not a bad video if you want to familiarize yourself with your mag before you tear it apart. The harder parts, like removing stubborn seized screws and such, are glossed over. Show us how someone else pressed the parts out. Was the fire mark done on the compression or the exhaust stroke? |

They’re still in business? I walked into that place 30+ years ago and they had some 25 year old NOS ham stuff. I bet they still have some of that. |

Why Fred?? dont trips to the ER to fix broken arms thrill you???  What Fred is saying is this. If you hand crank your tractor it is imperative that the impulse trips at or slightly after TDC. If it trips prior it will kick back on you,, one day. If the points are set correctly and you have the correct impulse coupling in your magneto the total timing will be correct when the impulse trips at TDC.

The ubiquitous "they" say you generally don't need to recharge the magnet of a magneto made after WWII. "They" also say you generally do more harm than good. The author of the site I've listed below claims you should never remove the armature of a magneto without first installing a keeper on the magnets. I have no opinion on the subject. https://www.gasenginemagazine.com/gas-engines/recharging-magneto-magnets" rel="nofollow - https://www.gasenginemagazine.com/gas-engines/recharging-magneto-magnets |

That’s how I contacted him. I talked to him on the phone about my mag and he told me about the magnet recharging, but I ended up buying a rebuilt mag and sending him mine for a core. ------------- 1951 B |

Everything I read says that alnico magnets do not need to be recharged. FMJ magnetos use alnico magnets. |
