New Drive Coupler Kit Used On Altronic Magneto
Usage:
G3304, G3306, G342, G379, G398, G399 Engines Equipped With Altronic Magnetos
Description of Change: A new drive coupling is used in the Altronic magneto group on the above engines. The new drive coupling is made from a different material and gives improved service life. The former drive coupling was affected by engine heat. Wear of the former drive coupling affected engine timing and performance.
Adaptable As: The new 7W4130 Magneto Coupler Kit (new roll pin and drive coupling) is a direct replacement for the former 7W1403 Magneto Coupler Kit which is canceled.
NOTE: Always use a new 6L5270 Gasket when installing a new coupler kit.
The new 7W4130 Magneto Coupler Kit is in use as shown in the chart.
