I save all these FM magneto parts, then I build my own. I've never bought one all complete (kinda expensive). The original Fairbanks-Morse parts are good - and I like anything NOS (still-in-the-box). I have a great source for charging magnets, checking coils, checking condensers, etc. and troubleshooting. I have a magneto firing the plugs in about everything I run. Most times on a "magneto fired" engine when it won't start, the first thing that gets blamed is the magneto . . . since it's the most misunderstood.
Hey, it ain't Old Sparky's fault !
Just how smooth do your hot mags spin by hand Noot? Mine is pretty notchy and hard to get a spark turning by hand
