[SEL] Low Tension International M Engines

[John Hammink]

DeWayne,
If you have an original ignitor with no weare out parts and it's
in good working order and new springs the cap will always be the same.
In this situation the cap has nothing to do with a good spark, because
the points are always open for this type ignitor.
The importend point is the moment that the hammer snaps and the ignition
points open, at that moment you need the most and best voltage of your
magneto. When this happen, the notch on the armature has to be in line
with the notches on the armature bushing.
Some "L" or "R" magnetos need a certain speed to give enough volts, it
depends on their general quality.
Timing and settings for this magneto can be found on my web site at:

Hope it's of any help for ya,

I would like to know how you adjust the points or set the points close on the ignitor so you don't have to use a battery to start
it.  Any answers?  Mags are all hot-nothing wrong with them.  The point gap is too wide.
Thanks
DeWayne
