Remove the left side cover and look for signs of moisture. We always suggest sealing the magneto by squirting some sealant around where the ignition wires exit the case and making sure there is a gasket on the cover. Magnetos don't like moisture. You could try drying yours with a heat gun or a hair drier but if it got really wet there could have been some arcing in the coil that damaged it. While you're checking make sure the splices in the blue and black wires are making good electrical contact.so just buy a new magneto and i should be set?
THANKS!!
The kit supplied spark plug boot is by far the weakest link in the chain. I preach this almost daily, that the plastic thing should be tossed in the trash and replaced with a good automotive quailty spark plug boot and a plug with the top cap installed.
Thanks, quick queston sorry to keep bothering you, how do i change my boot/wire? will i need to solder and all that?
Later kits have been gluing the plug wire into the CDI which makes replacing it a challenge. If the wire is long enough for your purposes, leave it alone and just install the new plug boot by crimping the metal contact onto the wire making sure you have a good electrical connection to the core, or conductor inside the wire. I do solder my plug boot connectors but everyone doesn't.
