Re: Loose Magnets
Happy Holidays to All,<br />I am bumping this post up with an update and a plea for help. I glued my magnets in with JB weld. In comparison to the OMC epoxy, I think the JB Weld will work better than the OMC stuff. It seemed to have a better consistency making it easier to work with. Plus it's cheaper and it comes in tubes. I found that my drum sander on my drill press makes a great flywheel cleaner. Time will tell.<br />After replacing the flywheel, I have discovered an intermittent problem. I have no ignition on either side, determined using a spark tester. During trouble shooting, measuring the various circuits for output, the ignition suddenly returns and the engine runs fine. Next day, same thing, no ignition but it mysteriously returns during testing and runs. I feel like the problem must be in either the stator or the timer base since both power packs are failing to output at the same time. My stator was replaced last spring and was not damaged when the magnets came loose. They did not come loose under power. Can attempting to start the engine with the magnets shifted harm the stator or timer base circuits? My question is what component is most likely to be the source of the problem and what test will confirm the fault?
