I would also solder those connections and insolate them just to be sure.

I did just that, as well as, re-gaping and cleaning the points contacts.

What makes you think it’s an ignition problem?  What is the compression on the motor?  What carburetor are you using?  
The motor is a rebuilt motor by Wayne.
I could be wrong, but I narrowed it down to the spark by using this little gadget. You can check for spark without removing the spark plugs.

Hey Pete,
Let me try and answer your questions...

Magneto came from Wayne, so I'm thinking it should have all the correct parts.

Starting the motor has been an issue all along, I can eventually get it started, but I always have to mess with it, i.e,, no reliable starts.

Spark plugs are new, provided by Wayne.

The points should be brand new from Wayne & yes gaped @ .020

Ok, I'll google condenser test.

***Can you tell me how to test (multi-meter) the ignition coil?

Hi everyone,

Is there someone on this forum that can walk me thru step by step as far as troubleshooting (test - ignition coil, points, condenser etc.) on a Wico magneto?
It seems I get a spark every 3-4 pedal cranks which is causing carburetor to flood.

Thanks,
Okozzy.

After numerous trials and tribulations, I finally got her running, I'm attaching a super short video of her running.
Wayne is out of air cleaners & so, I think I want to wait on it's first run until then.

Enjoy!

Well,
It took a few months, but I'm ready to kick her over for the first time; just need to work out a few last details.

Hello there,
I did the light sanding you all encourage me to do, but sadly no hidden numbers were reveal.

Oil-lamp;
I love the glass lens, you don't see that type of quality now a days, I think I can save the whole unit... I think its just missing the finishing rim around the lens if that's what you call it.



SO GUYS, WHAT's THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ENGINES, (L) or (M)... is it the transmission hook ups?
