Does this magneto look burt out?

It could be or it could be something else, I think most of the magnetos look like that. They all look burnt up even when brand new.

It was running great for a while any way does my magneto look like the problem?

The coil looks normal. It's impossible to burn out the coil under normal use. You would have to intentionally apply a sufficient voltage/current to the coil in order to ruin it...plugging it into an A/C outlet would do it!

I assume you have checked for a spark at the plug, which led you to examine the MAG.

I would check the connections between the MAG and the CDI. The factory bullet connectors should really be replaced with those offered at Radio Shack, or an auto/marine parts store.

The first two I put together went along fine for a few hours, and then the connectors separated resulting in no spark.

Your MAG looks fine I had to replace mine because that one little wire coming out came off then the MAG fell apart, the other wires soldered to the inner wires came apart. So I rewound mine. I am doing a post on the results from the rewinding I just have to wait till I get my new CDI in which will be any day now.

I checked and rechecked all my connections (I never liked those chinese connectors I removed them right away) I have over 1500 miles on my bike, mag is turning fine and engine is getting gas, new spark plug, I will check for spark tomorrow night.

Do you have a Volt/Ohm Meter?

Jim

can you blow out your cdi if youve burnt your magneto coil?
