to get a bigger spark, i removed the flywheel, sanded the magnets
clean. now, when i tighten the flywheel back on the magnet seems to
drag on the coil. the harder i tighten the more it drags. what is
wrong???

i'm getting a good spark from the wire now. but when i connect it to
the brand new spark plug, i see no spark. the spark plug boot is just
rubber, so it's pretty much just raw wires touching against the top of
the plug in the boot. do i need a boot with metal in them like the
ones in cars?

this was my problem in the first place which is why i took the whole
thing apart. good spark from the wire ain't getting to the plug. wtf?

thanks.
