I am trying to get my B running and I am fairly sure that I dont have any fire. I have tried two different mags and no fire. Hooked a new spark plug to wire, no fire. Opened cover to see points, no fire. This was on both mags, anybody point me in the right direction. Thanks

Hi, and welcome to the unofficial allis forum. Boy, we want to help but there sure are many unanswered questions in your post. Can I recommend a quick magneto primer (lesson)? Check out RodNH magneto page at the link below and let's see if that helps any. If you are following all of these procedures/timing/tests, we can go from there.

last year i printed out that web page and rebuilt my dead mag and timed it correctly the first time. now i have done my share of wrenching but that made it very easy. thanks for reposting the web site. my allcrop is running great now
