Actually, that only means you took the kill switch out of the circuit.  A 
ground fault may still exist.  If the magneto wire is grounded anywhere, it 
will not fire.  Many an owner has killed the ignition by installing the 
shrouds and pinching the wire for example. So check that wire all the way 
back, and make sure no where is it able to make ground.

Those magnetron units are not impervious to simply failing.  Yours may have. 
Just make darn sure that there isn't a grounding problem causing the 
ignition to not fire before buying a new magneto.
