Hello guys, a flywheel magnet made a bid for freedom from the flywheel it was attached to last week. Since then, the bike has started sometimes and then quit of it's own accord. I pulled the spark plug and the spark is only coming through occasionally and looks weak when it does. I thought the magneto setup only charged the battery and the current for the spark came from the battery, but reading the write up on the ignition system from the manual seems to suggest otherwise: So this is the cause of my no spark afterall? Because I thought it was just a red herring to begin with.
I can confirm this is that type of ignition, I glued the broken magnet back on and I am back getting a spark!
