Magneto identification

[Dennis P]

I have a fm magneto on a y69 continental stationary engine and have no fire. It is different than mags I have marked on in the past, they all had points. I do not see any in this one, so how does it work? What model is it, the only thing I can find is a serial number? Thanks!

Pull the rotor and plate under it. You will see points. Don’t mess with the smaller timing gears on top of the plate.

Amazing , how robust design the h4 magneto is. Looking at the coil and condenser .

Like rustred said, once you have that black disk taken off, take off the 3 screws around the outside. Leave the 2 screws alone in the middle holding the gears together. Pull off that cover and your points will be there. I can take pictures of one if needed-let me know.
