part#580243 thank you for any help with this
Coil #580243 would be the magneto coil. I had a few some time ago but they went like wildfire on eBay. I can only wish you luck in finding one.
I assume that you had the magneto belt off so that you could spin the magneto pulley and that you had a spark tester connected directly to the coil brass output button? If not, how do you know the coil is faulty... unless it is actually cracked to pieces.
If by chance you haven't done this test, do so, and if you do have spark at that point... the usual no spark problem (with the magneto assembled) is being caused by a faulty rotor that is shorting out to the metal shaft upon which it sits.
The points of course must be good, clean, and set on the high lobe so that a .020 gauge will pass thru but a .022 will not.
Let us know what you find.
