[AT] Magneto Question...again!

[Ben Wagner]

Hello,

Thanks for your help on testing my generator.  I was doing some more 
work on the tractor, and we finally got the magneto to throw a spark.  
Some of you may remember my question on that specific problem with the 
mag a couple of months ago.  It sure took awhile, but it is going again! 

I have a nice strong spark from the coil discharge on the coil cover.   
However, I can't get the distributor cap to give me a spark on any of 
the four towers.  I took the cap and rotor off, and the cap's plastic 
had melted on the outside of the towers inside the cap.  The rotor, 
however, was fine.  Would this be related to the fact that I am not 
getting a spark from the distributor? 

Both the cap and rotor were brand new a few months ago.  It was working 
fine before I took it apart.  Is this a timing issue?

Hope my question makes sense...
