I have a slick left impuse magneto 6351, ~300 hours since new.
At the 300 hour mark I was getting a 250rpm mag drop. I pulled it, replaced the points and condensor. The points kit had the points and little plastic cam insert that the points arm rides on to open and close.The cam had worn down quite a bit so I figured I had the culprit. This was my first time inside a magneto.
Ran fine for ~20 hours. Now at under 1800rpm, she barely runs. 2 cyl out of 6 are running. Higher RPMs and it runs fine.
I took it back apart, checked the egap and points, all seems fine. Im scratching my head as to why it runs fine at high rpms, not at all on lower ones.![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Coil maybe? my egap technique?
My standard MO for this is to just replace it. But geez these are getting really expensive and it seems the only real wearing part is the points and plastic cam thingy.
Thoughts?
Thanks
