[AT] CAT magneto

[John Hall]

Thanks Gene. I'll leave the ball in the court of the fellow with the mag as 
to whether he wants to pursue a new rotor (I recommended it while he could 
still find one). Just by looking at his rotor I couldn't find anything 
non-symmetrical about it. I can't see why the rotation would make a 
difference. That makes me believe it may not be an Eisemann. Either that or 
Cat used a bunch of different mags like some manufacturers did using 
carburetors!

John
