Have you tried battery and coil to be sure everything else is OK?

 Jim I purchased a complete new housing that had new bearings, etc.
Then re-assembled and charged the magnets.
 I am leaning towards my timing is off and need to make those
adjustments. Hopefully get it running again soon.
 Thanks,
 Curt

 I saw you rebuilt the mag what exactly did you do? Did you have the
bushings replaced? This can be tricky if your machine is not set up
correctly.
