Magnetos hovis style

hi all does the lister D hovin stly mag, need to be mounted on a shiney surface.

And guess what still no joy

Hi Ryan
sorry you are still having probs...

This is my usual attack for mags problems... :face:
Check that the points aren't shorted out by the mounting washers, easy to mis-assemble, and it's not always obvious..
Clean the points [several times may be required]..
Check the gap 10 to 12 thou...
Remove the top cover and clean the contact on the coil and springy bit..[you may need a modified screwdriver bent at 90 degrees to miss the tank]
Check the HT lead is contacted by using a multimeter...
Wipe over with some WD 40 and put the top back on...
Check lead against engine in case the plug is knackered...

Failing that I take the chain and sprocket off and run it up on a battery drill, with the lead taped next to the mag body. I have seen them come to life this way

Cheers
Dave

sadly i am not very clever at all with mags, but had a expert check it all over and he said it was brill, so im lost, shes for sale now anyway making room for the WLB1 , cant wait
