Why? If that mag is in working order and timed properly plus no intake leaks. Bike will start. If it's good enough for an airplane, it's good enough for me. A mag puts one hell of a spark out. Go though the mag and clean it good. They don't like crud inside them and don't forget a new lid gasket. Your rotor might have to be re-magnetized. Rare but it happens. Bob L
