Magneto Flywheel question

Any techies here? I'm restoring an old Merry Tiller for my Father, its been lying-up years in a damp shed. Last time it was stored as a non-runner due to no spark and no obvious remedy. A couple of years ago in all my young(ish) wisdom I decided to take it all apart and get to the root of the problem. So I took the block…

Any techies here? I'm restoring an old Merry Tiller for my Father, its been lying-up years in a damp shed. Last time it was stored as a non-runner due to no spark and no obvious remedy. A couple of years ago in all my young(ish) wisdom I decided to take it all apart and get to the root of the problem. So I took the block off the Body and started the dis-assemble. I got the flywheel off and got access to the electricals. Nothing looked obviously off, but I did notice that of the 4 magnets bonded to the inside of the flywheel, two were very magnetic, and the other two (next to eachother) were very very weak. is this normal in a single-cylinder 4 stroke set-up? I can post pictures if this helps. The engine is a Wisconsin Robin (Subrau) EY18W from the mid-70's 4.6hp I think.

My fathers birthday is coming up so I want to get her running again and silence my critics !

Any help greatly appreciated !
