Check both “Switch” and “Retard” circuits. Also check for good electrical continuity through switch and through magneto points.
  6. Retard contact assembly in retard (dual contact) magneto not operating electrically Engine may kick back during cranking due to advance timing of ignition. Retard points may not be closing due to improper adjustment, or may not be electrically connected in the circuit due to a poor connection. Inspect retard points to see if they close.
