Apparently, the problem was that the contact on the rotor was somehow too
far away from the contacts on the cap. I pulled the rotor a little bit away
from the rest of the magneto and then put the cap back on. I then got the #1
spark plug (connected to the distributor cap) to spark once. After that, I
took the rotor off and put some pieces of burdock leaf in between the rotor
and the shaft that turns it (but with the rotor still far enough onto the
shaft that it can't turn without the shaft turning) and the magneto seemed
to work properly after that.
