Hi there. I found a Rover Rapid in the hard junk collection.

It has a 3.0 HP Briggs & Stratton 148cc engine - but no spark,

investigation reveals: the magneto has 2 magnetic parts - ie one at 12 o'clock and one at 6 o'clock.

one of the magnetic parts is no longer magnetic at all. the other grips the loosened coil like it's demon possessed.

Should they both be magnetised?

If so - is it worth buying and fitting a new magneto?

or should I put it out the front again... smile
