Scintilla Magneto Manual [updated] -

Use a very light film of high-temperature grease.

Note: Adjusting E-gap usually requires a timing light or a dedicated magneto synchronization box. 5. Lubrication: Less is More One of the fastest ways to ruin a Scintilla is over-oiling. scintilla magneto manual

Turn the drive shaft by hand. You should feel a distinct "snap" or resistance (the magnetic "E-gap"). If it spins freely with no resistance, the magnets may be weak or the bearings shot. Use a very light film of high-temperature grease

Look for hairline cracks in the Bakelite distributor blocks. These can cause "carbon tracking," where the spark jumps to the ground instead of the plug. resulting in the strongest spark.

This is the moment of maximum magnetic stress, resulting in the strongest spark.
