Last week the diagonal bar on my bike broke at the front motor mount and I crash landed. The bike was a Columbia 18 speed. I limped on home with it and removed the wheels and the engine and began looking for a new bike to mount the engine on. I just bought the 70 cc from Dax and do not have a hundred miles on it.
Now comes the dumb part. After reinstalling the engine on a 21 speed Murray I jerked the white wire out of the magneto after I hooked up a kill switch. I am reinstalling a new magneto I bought as a replacement from Kings. The ohms readings are within specs. The problem is that the heavy magnet will not let me center the coil so the magnet turns drag free.
Does it matter if there is a little drag when the armature turns? The engine, after all the false starts, is great. My problem remains, how to I keep the armature from dubbing?"
