I'm not sure I've seen a way to test the strength of the magneto "magnet". I seem to recall reading something about seeing if the rotor can pick up a wrench or something on the bench.
Have you read through Doug Rinckes booklet online? Go to the knowledge base link at the top and type "understanding" in the search box. One of the two results will be Doug's booklet.
Rereading...you replaced the ignition coil. What did you replace it with? Was it one of the older cloth wrapped coils or one of the new solid state Emerald Isle coils? The early Emerald Isle coils suffered from insufficient grounding. Vech was helpful in bringing to market version 2.0 of the coils with additional grounding.
