Well folks, the points are finally revealed! The nut on the magneto was proving to be a project stopper. I finally dried up on creative, non-destructive ways to get the nut off and took the whole engine down to: www.johnnysmotorcyclerepair.com/. Those guys are really great down there! Johnny himself got that nut off with a couple of special tools in about 5 minutes, and no charge! Thanks Johnny:)! Next, I took it home and got out Dave's gear puller and popped that magneto off. I do, by the way, mean POPPED! I was looking for blood after it came off. No holes in me though, so I continued. Upon inspection under the magneto, I found the stray end of wire grounding out. This could be the problem I have been searching for. The next step is using the ohm meter to check everything and adjust to factory specifications and throw it back together. Now work can start to progress again. Expect more soon!
