I have a Tecumseh HM80 motor with a points ignition that has a very weak spark that I traced back to a “dead” magnet in the flywheel. By weak I mean it will not even hold a small screwdriver from the magnet. Is there anyway of replacing the magnet or having it recharged? The magnet is not glued to the flywheel it looks as if it is fastened by means of two pins or dowels.
The motor is from an old go kart for my grandson for Christmas. Thanks

Jack

I'm afraid those are not available any longer as the Tecumseh company that made that engine has been out of business since 2009. But post the spec number and someone might still a flywheel in New Old Stock.
