1928 Onan generator

[f350ca]

Finally arranged some time to work on the generator again. Put the carb on and it fired right up. Came up to sped lit the bulb we had plugged in and ran smooth as glass. We're using the vacuum reservoir or what ever it is for a small fuel tank. It ran out of fuel now we can't get it to do more than an occasional sputter or at best run on one cylinder. I'd say it was dirt in the carb but I can see the fuel coming off the jet, pretty sure its ignition. The magnets on the mag are WEAK. Can barely see the spark it produces but why did it fire up initially.
Anyway pictures as promised.






Now I need to find an expert on magnetos. Any takers, this is the first 've ever had anything to do with one. Cleaned the points but didn't help, pretty sure I need to find somewhere that can re energize the magnet.
