I had my Homelite weedeater stop running one day. Check the spark no spark bought a magneto & installed it & it fired right up. I did clean the stator up it was rusted. But the mag was the issue. I thought that was pretty straight up.
One thing with small engines this old man can lift them & put them in a place that is comfortable for me like in a chair. Darn vehicles a guy needs a rotisserie with a BIG chair so you can turn them upside down to work on the underside. You can turn them so you don't have to bend & crawl, etc to work on them.
When you young guys get old you'll understand.

At 22 I was bullet proof. The problem was I thought I could do anything & I pretty much did, because I thought I'll never see 30 years old. At 32 years old I had to reevaluate by then much of the damage was already done.
I feel great but my body doesn't work the same as it did. I was pretty sound until I hit my late 50s then my brain would lye to me about my body. It would say things like you use to do twice that much a few years ago, or you can lift that heck you use to carry 3 of them at a time. So my head still lye's to me. You'll see when you get my age. Then you can think back yea I remember that old man told me this 40 years ago. Damn he was right. Ha Ha.
