Never seen the magnet fly off or wear out. Stick a screwdriver to it. If it sticks then it is good. You will just have to pull the cover and inspect it. Rust doesn't really affect it much but I usually finely sand the rust off the flywheel, especially the magnets.

You may have some wierd motor design and I'm speaking from a Briggs and Stratton standpoint, but the spark has to be in time. There is nothing to adjust. All you do is adjust the coil away from the flywheel with a business card and tighten the coil(s) down.

The only way it could be out of time is if you seared the flywheel key. You would have to pull the flywheel off to check the key. You will need some PB blaster, a puller, air wrench and a hammer. Spray the splines with PB blaster, tighten puller and hit the flywheel moderately around it with the hammer and repeat.

Something else you should check is take your fingers and manually pull the throttle linkage coming off the carb to the governor. I don't mean the part where the throttle cable meets the governor. That will work the throttle and bypass the governor to see if you have a governor problem.
