Original Post 2009-Apr-21, 02:23 PM

Just bought a cheap scooter off of eBay, not running, but not very old, with low K's, an Arquin 4 stroke metro4 or something.

Anyway the guy I bought it from, said it was possible the scooter wasn't running because there could be some moisture in the magneto and to give it a wipe.

Now my question is where do I find the magneto, what is it, and what does it do ?

By the way, I have googled with not much joy, and also assume the magneto is something similar to points in a car that cause the field in the coil to collapse and cause the spark to the spark plug right ?

The spark is not very strong and very intermittent, so I am assuming it is something electrical Undecided
