Magneto ignitions are usually trouble free but it is difficult to start one by hand.
If you are unfortunate enough to have a Phelon magneto ignition system on your Homelite rather than the Walbro, it would be to your advantage to switch to a CH battery powered ignition to obtain a hotter spark
The Phelon systems normally do not go bad or anything, they just have out of balance flywheels and weak spark when compared to Walbro
