if this doesn't work out thats what i might do. heres whats happening now. I took off the magneto and found out the key seemed to be in the right place. the magneto just spun in an out of step manner because the action of the piston seems to have a tight spot or sticking point almost. i put the magneto back and crazy glued the nut on and put my new spark plug in. now i have no spark again. I think i may have put the magneto on backwards from the way it was. would that be a cause? i am going to change it back around tomorrow and see if that was it but maybe somebody can just tell me whether or not that should make any difference. if thats not the problem though then i don't know what is. i don't have time to do it today because i've got to make some food and go to work. I like tinkering but i'd like to hear this thing turn over on its own at least to make me feel like i'm getting somewhere. that would be enough for me to let out one of those tim the toolman grunts.
