    Darren, excellent series of photos showing rebuild, especially handy for me as I have a similar mag that needs looking at. Good tip regarding sealing washers made from cut down grommets. Really glad to know it works.

    Thanks Charlie, Always pays to lay out the parts in the order they are removed. Just reverse that order on re-assembly. And take lots of photographs! This was the 3rd of these Wico mags i’ve rebuilt, getting pretty good with where all the bits go now. Not sure on the costs of rebuilding Magneto’s, but as with any professional service’s offered, Im sure it wont be cheap!

    The new parts for the spare magneto finally arrived, New condenser, stop button, spring clips, HT lead and plug cap. Fitted all the new parts and tested. Pleased to report its all working as it should. I made a short video of it being turned by hand……

    It really does pay to spend a few pounds getting the magneto right. A new coil etc for the magneto on my old Hayter produces an excellent spark.
