TECUMSEH FLYWHEEL MAGNETS

HI
IN NEED OF HELP. HAVE TWO TECUMSEH ENGINES WITH NO FIRE FROM THE COILS, HAVE ANOTHER RUNNING TEST ENGINE, ROTATED ALL COIL AROUND, ALL TESTED GOOD, DECIDED TO PULL FLYWHEELS TO CHECK STATORS, FOUND ALL MAGNETS IN BOTH FLYWHEELS HAD COME UNATTACHED FROM FLYWHEEL AND STUCK TO STATORS. GROUND OUT ALL RUST, CLEANED ALL MAGNETS, USED JB WELD TO REATTACH ONE SET AND STARTED WONDERING IF THERE IS A NORTH AND SOUTH TO THE MAGNETS, DIDN'T MARK UPON REMOVAL, IF NOT RIGHT WILL KNOW TOMORROW, JB WELD CURING OVERNIGHT. HAS ANYONE EVER REPLACED THE WIRE FROM THE STATOR TO THE COIL, BELIEVE THE WIRE CONNECTS TO A DIODE ON THE STATOR.
THANKS
JIMMY
