hiya

just a small one for anyone with the knowledge,
I have taken my magneto out again and with a spark plug in the HT lead I can get a spark
just with turning by hand, easily.

What is bothering me is that I feel almost no resistance from the internal magnets ?

I bought an old unit from ebay that is for a twin cylinder thinking I might rob some parts from it
but turning that one by hand there is a noticeable magnet resistance when turning it by hand, so
much so that I have to put a spanner on the shaft..

should i send it off for re-magentizing even though it sparks ?

A good mag should give you a nice blue spark that will jump at least 1/4".
