[SEL] Moffat Virtue 2 1/4 wont start

[John & Beryl Cooper]

Hi Ash,
There are two positions to connect the magneto. The coupling is a slotted 
fitting and you may have it 180 degrees out. Take out the plug and check if 
the points are opening at the top or the bottom of the stroke.
Good luck,
John,
Bega NSW.
