Wico Series 'A' Magneto

Does anyone have a working Wico 'A' magneto the wish to sell?

Despite the coils showing good readings and having replaced the condenser mine refuses to produce a spark

Don't have one to hand myself but a Model Number would be useful to others.
That said,  if the coils are good my first port of call would be to check the condenser - even new ones can be duff.
Also check for a short somewhere around the points or cut-out button

I'm not sure it matters as the Wico manual / spares list shows a few different parts all fitting onto one body, as long as the rotor spindle is the correct length any working 'A' series (bottom mount) should be able to take my impulse mechanism.

You got it!!!!

The electrical points connector must have moved as I was tightening up the connection and was touching the case. It now sparks like a good'un ......should have gone to Specsavers!!!!!
