Default RE: Homelite 33cc Ignition?

Jim

Thanks for the input. I went and looked at the magneto for my Homelite 30cc and saw that the coil and the metal contact points are larger than my 33cc engine. So what you said made sense. I still tried to see if I could get the 300cc magneto on my 33cc engine. I think it might make it but you have to enlarge the mounting holes and I'm not so sure I want to risk messing up a good magneto. My 30cc engine runs good, but it's heavy. I wanted something small but more powerful so I go a 33cc engine. Now if I can only get it to start! I don't want to use a starter on these gas engines. The reason why I thought they are so good is that you don't have to hook up glow starters, use electric starters etc to get them to start. You just have to give them a few flips and they start. That is when you have them set up right. I'll try changing the prop location. I have it set up the way I have always been setting them up on my other engines. If anyone else has any comments on the magneto ignition for a homelite 33cc engine, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks
