I want to use a magneto on my 52 K model. Today, I removed the distributor and put the magneto in its place. It is clear one or more parts are missing. There is a 1/8 inch gap between the mag and the case. I remember my brothers 66 Sportster magneto and the spark was retarded by the left hand grip and the spark was advanced when the engine was running.
Looking at the 59 Sporty manual, exploded view 5F-6, I think I need item 47, adapter. Item 26, drive housing, is already installed on the mag.
Maybe that is all I need.
Yes, I know I seem excessively ignorant but I got this bike for free, but mostly disassembled with many parts missing. So I am learning as I go.
Thanks in advance
