Give it a bit of heat. That will help a bit.

Subject: [SEL] bending cast iron

i was wondering if anyone has any experience in bending cast iron.... the
mag bracket on my 1 1/2 horse waterloo boy has a slight bend where it bolts
over the ignitor,  causing the mag to lean down just a little and be out of
aligment with the trip bracket,,,, looks like the engine may have tipped
over at one point and fell against the mag,,,,the bend is ever so
slight,,,,,,,,the material is about 1/4 inch thick at the bend, which is on
either side of the oval cut out hole for the ignitor,,,,,, any  thoughts on
straightning it would be appreciated,,,
