Bruce,

Well, now that you know the answer, why not share it with us?

Cy,

We are all here to learn...well some of us are. Do you know have the
energy to elaborate as to why? Or do you just enjoy being abrupt?

I do know the answer now because Veeduber went to the trouble to privately
email me and explain the differences between the engine designs. You had a
chance to enlighten others here on RAH. I am sure there would have been
one or two who would have appreciated a more complete answer.

The method that I have used on automotive engines is to take an old
distributor shaft with no cam gear on it. Remove the distributor from
the engine block, chuck the old shaft in a 1/2 drill, stick it down
the shaft hole until it engages the oil pump and spin away. I have
been able to develop full oil pressure on new engines that way. Would
a similar concept work on a magneto shaft hole?
