Magneto woes...

Okay, so after installing the magneto and having a conversation with Jesse at Morris Magneto, we've determined that there is no way to get this style of mag spinning fast enough to make spark on my motor due to the size and compression ratio. He basically said I'd need a "snap" mag (M5 with impulse coupling) to be able to get a spark at such low kick velocity...sweet. I kicked and kicked with the plugs out and a spark plug and wire on the mag, but to no avail. I couldn't get spark to save me life.

Justin and I were testing the mag for spark. You aren't supposed to do this, but whatever.
