I have converted a Homelite 33cc chainsaw engine and I went to start it. I tried hand starting it and it wouldn't fire. I remove the spark plug to see if I was getting a spark and I wasn't getting one. I adjusted the distance of the magneto to the flywheel and I finally got a spark. I tried to start it again and nothing. I then checked again, the spark with the spark plug removed and found that I have to really spin the prop very fast to get a spark and it doesn't always spark. I have converted a Homelite 30cc weedwacker engine and it starts really easily and sparks without having to swing the prop so hard. I have also converted a Green Machine 7700 chainsaw, (Zenoah G-62) engine and I can hand start that engine too. My question is, do I have a bad magneto? or does the 33cc engine always have this problem? My next question is, can I swap the magneto from the 30cc engine to the 33cc engine? They look very similar. My next question is, has anyone converted the Homelite 33cc engine to a different ignition system and has the old magneto laying around? I may need one. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
