MS460 clone - no spark

Was the flywheel removed by hitting the crank with a brass hammer? Just throwing it out there. Magnets can be re- magnetized with another magnet or electro magnet.

No. A drop on the concrete or a very close lightning strike maybe. However , the lightning strike would likely kill the coil and any nearby electronics that wasn't shielded.


Reverse substitution is the only way to confirm the FW fix hypothesis. Do you still have the original?

No, I pitched it.
To be honest the machine went dead during a snow storm and I wanted it up and running ASAP. The motor it came off of had thrown a rod so it was shot. At the time I saw no need to save it.

I used a copper hammer to remove both flywheels. The bad one had never been off since it was built.
