I have narrowed the problem to either the speed sensor on the mag or Gea 71 both are very expensive

Well I narrowed down to the rpm sensor. The sensor failed 1 hour after coming out of annual and I found out they had washed the engine with carb cleaner which destroyed the plastic part of the sensor.
