What happens here

To address the lack of spark, the engine's top cover is removed to expose the flywheel and magneto assembly. The user identifies visible corrosion on the magneto where it sits close to the flywheel. He then uses a piece of sandpaper to thoroughly clean the contact points on the magneto, speculating that the corrosion is interrupting the electrical circuit needed for spark.

Goal: Clean corrosion from the magneto to restore spark

Tools and materials

  • Hover Mower Original California Trimmer — The mower undergoing magneto cleaning
  • Sandpaper — Cleaning corrosion from the magneto's contact points
  • Screwdriver or Socket Wrench — Removing the engine cover bolts

What they say

Hide

that we don't need directions so we're not getting any spark so we pulled off the front cover and we're gonna sand this up in case there's any corrosion on it but it doesn't really look that bad you can see right where it was sitting right there because you see how everything else is the same color except for this one particular spot has those two rust spots right so that could just be why it's not getting a full connection as every revolutionary the brake connection right there so that might be a cause or it might be the whole deal
