Mr. Lucas made some pretty tough mags, just don’t get them wet…
This mag isn’t spitting out any sparks. Just needs a little coaxing and massaging to get those electrons jumping again!!
The internals and externals of a magneto. Armatures and spindles and the ever present earthing brush.
Points and pieces.
Finally getting to work on the Norton. Tore the bike to bits today so I can make a list of what it will take to make this sweet ride fly like the wind! Fresh top-end, new clutch, back to a dual carb set up, fettle a few niggling leaks and get the magneto jolting life into her again for starters!! Spring is just around the corner and the open road beckons, and someone will surely want his bike after this long, hard winter we are enduring!!
