Thanks howardman!

Hello folks, I followed your advice on the spare engine thanks very much - cleaned and set the points then spun the motor by battery drill with a new plug hanging on the lead. Immediately had a good spark, no spark from the Bantam engine so far. I'll most likely swap the spare magneto onto the machine the next time that I'm around. Howardman, is it possible to have a pdf copy of the AC120 manual thanks, I can cover any costs by Paypal. Also, does anyone know of some easy to purchase solid steel countersunk rivets, around 1/4" D x 5/8" or 3/4". I found some in the US and gave up trying to use a foreign address. regards, Dave

Hello Folks, thanks very much for the many Howard AC120 photos in the links & tips, will follow those plus replace the plug & lead. Any idea of the correct plug type and gap thanks? regards Dave.

Hello PMac, I'm in the same boat with an old Bantam hoe powered by an AC120. I need some ideas to get started, especially a spark from the WICO FW magneto. Is it possible to send a copy thanks very much. btw the flywheel magnets can barely hold a 6" nail as a keeper, is that normal? I wasn't expecting permanent magnet motor type forces but a little better than that. regards, Dave
