Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Kohler Ignition, fly wheel, coil tester

Question
Regarding my Kohler K-241 T, 10-horse air cooled engine, mounted on a log splitter.  Last Fall this splitter was working well  I shut it off and stored it for the winter.  This summer when I tried to start it I had no fire at the points.  I replaced the points and condenser and I still had no fire.  I replaced the coil and I still had no fire at the points.  I then shimmed the magnets in the fly wheel out four thousandths and still had no fire.  I shimmed the magnets out to 11 thousandths.  At this point I should have a drag between the magnets and stator on the coil, but not so.  Every summer I had to pull the fly wheel off and clean the magnets and stator.  I am wondering if this could have cut the stator and magnets back even though I used a fine sandpaper 200 or 220.
Any input on this will be helpful and appreciated.  

Answer
 Hello Edward:

 Did you Clean the Contacts before you Installed them? If Not, then Remove the Points Set and Clean the Contacts with the 220 sand paper and Reinstall them. A New Point Set will have a Coating on the Contacts to Prevent Rust. Most Times this Coating has to be Removed before the Contacts will Produce a Spark. The Coil is Set at .020in from the Flywheel. The Point Set is Gapped to .020in. It is Not Unusal for a Condensor to be Bad right out of the Package. The Sandpaper shouldnt have Damaged the Magnets or the Coil. If Cleaning the Contacts doesnt Help, then the Coil needs to be Tested. Most Small Engine Service Centers have the Coil Tester and Charge about $5.00 to $10.00 to Test the Coil. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. I enjoy knowing the Outcome. Thanks.

 Good Luck
