Check the coils in the magneto with an ohmmeter.

pick up coil: Bl/Y - G/W: 100-200 ohms
Power coil: Br-P: 150-350 ohms
lighting coil: O-B: 0-2 ohms

Magnetos put out AC and that's probably why you're getting pulsing readings on your meter.

Which one? The pickup coil? The power coil? The lighting coil? All 3 of those are in the magneto. You may just need one.

Be sure to use locktite on the screws on the magneto. Don't want the screws falling out inside the engine.
