see top of thread mate...magneto repairs..
martin and Andrew do all manner of things Kev,give them a phone and see what they say..
you can post them to them so you don't need to travel..great fellers and willing to go the extra mile for you...

thanks mike i will give them a call
just some mag specialists ask big money for things like £110 for a coil for a villiers and i can get them for £45-£65 pounds to my door
15 years garantee with them just not made in the uk
but to villiers original spec
i would rather the money stayed in the british ecconomy own pocket


i have a load of magnetos in my shed
but if i sold them garantee i will need one months later
when i get my first open crank
been there done it before
but some i have no idea what make or what they fitted too

kev

Like you say Kev best left in the shed guaranteed you will need one one day I have a box full, I clean them up and re magnetise them when I have a spare min

i keep getting another one out and a servicing it to the best you can diy style
i have a wico mag maintainance book and just use it as a rough guuide as the princable in most mags are the same
just use "the force " starwars yoda style. lol lol
and then see if it lights a sparkplug by hand
and then final i us a drill polisher wheel and set the rotation the write way and make shore it works at 100=200ish rpm
as some mags spark at starting impulse speed and nothing higher up the rpms
kev

Sounds like you got it sorted

Il see you then Andrew .

Oh and abes you should get a answer that you can not pin a price on the mag ... depending what is wrong with the mag and parts / time used etc ....

Best thing is to give them a ring and arrange to pop the mag down there and for them to carry out some tests and find out what needs to be done etc .

matt

Funny enough was thinking that when i was writing the post but was just after a ball park figure

Abes wrote:Funny enough was thinking that when i was writing the post but was just after a ball park figure

As been told many times you will have to take it to them and can tell you after when done some tests .... as it could be just a condensor points etc or it could be a whole rewind which would be ££££'s

best thing is to give them a ring Abes .

matt

abes..
andrew and Martyn are very good on prices and do a cracking job...
ive had loads done by them..there very helpful as well mate..
give them a phone..they wont bite..lol

that reminds me they have my john deer mag at the moment..
must contact them my self to see how its going
im in no rush as they were busy last time i spoke to Martyn..
mike...

took a look at my mag, points look ok... condensor looks old prob need replacing, measuring coil from HT pip to condensor i'm getting about 9kohms?
what would be normal?
any idea what condensor i need to order for a 1943/4 lister d
thx
paul

Paul is it the same condensor as this one?
Not a bad price even to keep as a spare as they are difficult to find.
