You should normally run with both magnetos on , ie 1 + 2.
But the magnetos are modelled for damage. So if your engine starts running rough, or more usually just stops after beng hit, then try switching to 1 or 2 individually and restart the engine. If it is a damaged magneto then your engine will restart and you can continue what you were doing.

It has happened to me in the past a few times, but usually if your engine gets hit it will be more serious damage to the engine itself.

Hope that makes sense.

Cheers.
