[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 48763, member: 161"] It may be too much of a coincidence that the magneto refurbishment is the only change. See if the problem goes away after a more accurate check of the ignition timing. If that fails to improve things can you borrow a known good mag to try? Not very technical but an easy black or white way of diagnosing problems by substitution. Regarding the Concentrics: Check the cheap easy things first. Pull a hose and see if there is there a good flow of fuel to the carbs? You say that your pilot jets are clear but it might be carb related if internal drillings are blocked. The fuel these days seems to leave deposits when it evaporates over time. Sometimes needs an ultrasonic bath to clear. [/QUOTE]
