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...
