There are a couple used coils and condensers on eBay right now.
when you checked the spark after cleaning and setting gaps did you put the starter housing back on and pull the rope or did you just turn the flywheel by hand to check for spark? I’ve had engines where if I used the starter rope it helped turn the flywheel fast enough to get spark whereas if I just tried to spin the flywheel by hand nothing would happen.
also, when you cleaned the points did you clean the little posts they fit on? I’ve had cases where the slightest corrosion or oil on the little posts messed up the spark.
No I did not, but I will try both of your suggestions. I really appreciate your help.
i usually just loosen the flywheel nut and unscrew it until it’s about flush with the end of the threaded shaft. Then give it a sharp tap with the end of a wrench (or very small hammer) and it always pops right off. The rapid shock from the impact is what loosens it from the tapered shaft. You really don’t have to hit it very hard, more of a firm tap.
Thank you. I was able to get it off with a puller after modifying the puller. The reason I had it apart was it had no spark. I filed the points, set them at .020 and the magneto to flywheel gap was correct at. 010. I still have no spark. Are there coils and condensers available anywhere? Thank you for your help.
