I removed the magneto, cleaned the contact points and cleaned up some grease that was slung out of the bearings I had repacked. I really didn't find anything wrong. I found some slight wear on the cam which operates the points. I ordered a new cam and waited, and waited. It finally arrived yesterday, 8 days late, Oh well.
I reassembled the magneto with the new cam and reinstalled the magneto. As the sun set I was able to get the motor running, but there is no improvement at all.
since this magneto does not have an impulse coupling I may be able to fix up a spare and see if it solves the problem. Hopefully tomorrow I can remove the mag and work on one of the spares I have. We'll see what happens.
