You may be lucky, but I wouldn't put money on it. Remember that just because a magneto can generate a spark in open air when motored that doesn't mean it will perform the same trick when subjected to a fuel-soaked atmosphere at combustion chamber pressures.
There are a number of magneto specialists out there, but I can recommend Peter de Kremer (Rutland Dynamos: http://www.rutlanddynamos.co.uk). Peter is a friendly guy and offers excellent after-sales service; he gave me a very helpful telephone refresher on techniques for finding t.d.c.

Oakham , in Rutland.
He did two k2fc’s for me last year. Beautiful work and exactly 180 degree separation.
