    Default Magneto on a Scout

    Newbie to the group so hello.

    Picked up a half done '41 SS bitsa this year. It has an Edison Mag on it. I see a lever on the mag and was thinking it might be some type of cut out or a spark advance but not sure. Anyone running a Mag and can give me a hint?

    Regards,

    Chris

    yep, the lever should be the spark advance. I think I may have a 641 carb laying around.

    T-Bone maybe we should talk soon. Got a few extra parts if you are building that '42... and I'm looking for a few missing things as well. cell 650-580-7198 email canderson88@yahoo.com. Left Coast Time Zone. Chris
