Thanks for the insight Bluejets! One more question and I promise to put this to rest. Does anyone know if the coil assembly contains a transistor or capacitor to help time the spark??
I think the transistor is known as a Darlington transistor if it's used. Not sure if these simple 2 strokes need such a thing.

Thanks all!
magneto coil does not normally have any embedded transistor, no.
it simply operates on induction from the magnet.
