I hope that someone can help me.
I have just commenced the restoration of my 1950 Lister D 1.5 HP (after a 15 year wait!) and am now on the magneto. I have stripped everything down, cleaned all parts and replaced points and condenser. There is no spark or any sort of output so I suspected the coil. Before replacing this, however, I thought that I do a simple continuity test to check that the moving points were insulated from the magneto body via the insulated fixing post to the condenser and coil.  Well, wherever I put the tester probes it indicated continuity. I checked all the insulating washers etc and all ok. This brought me to the large bakelite insulating block on the inside of the body and the corresponding screw on the outside front at the top. I have looked through all the information I can find on these magnetos but no mention of these parts.
Mine had a large blob of solder which covered the back of the fixing post for the oval plate that holds the moving contact in place and also the back of wherever the screw on the front goes. I thought this looked wrong and removed the solder. I then discovered that I could not tighten the nut securing the oval plate because the post just revolved round - the solder had been holding it in place. I replaced the solder as it was and now total short circuit. I am fairly certain that the problem lies in the bakelite block but I can find out how it's put together or how it's meant to look.
My apologies for the long ramble but any advice would br greatly appreciated.

I just received this email

Hi Chris,

Thank you for contacting us! Our Induron product is a two-part component consisting of Part A (the paint) and Part B (the catalyst). The catalyst is one quart. When you combine both components, they yield one gallon of mixed solution. Once mixed, it typically dries within approximately two hours. It's advisable to work swiftly to ensure optimal application. I've attached the TDS for more additional information. Have you added and mixed both components together?

Best regards,
Erica

Even with the activator it's short. For the price I paid I want to freaking gallon it's what I ordered is what I want.. .68 paint 0.20 activator still less than a gallon. It ain't about semantics it's about giving the customer what he wants what he ordered what he paid for

Is it a 2 part paint that requires an activator/hardener? I have used urethane paint a couple of times and it comes like that but with the hardener in a second can. When added together it ends up being a gallon. Sounds like they may have forgotten to send you the activator.

I suggest you replace the fuel filter now b efore you startputting new fuel through. Yes, you do need to bled the system at every point along the fuel lines. Once confirmed it starts run it slowly so to give it time to warm up then increase the revs a little bit but not flog it.
Then do all the rest of the fluids in the engine, oils and coolant and filters. These are tough engines and with a bit of care now will outlast the rebuilt genset again.
