GazzyG Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 As per title, really.BSA started fine when I first got it a coupla months ago. Started (after a lot of huffing, puffing and swearing) a few weeks back too.But now it won't start at all. Changed the battery and the spark plugs, but it's not sparking at all.Before I go the whole hog and send the Magneto off for a rewind, what checks should I do first? If it's something simple, that'd save time and money.Cheers! Gaz Quote
Mr Fro Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 It's not something silly like the points or condensor is it? Quote

Grumpy Old Git Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Just found this Gaz......not from a BSA....but it'll be similar and may give you some things to check..... http://archives.jampot.dk/Technical/Ele ... eibert.pdf That document is the one I used to refurbish both my AJS and Matchless mags - Complete strip and rebuild - as new!The only issue I had was the text did not mention how to deal with carbon build-up in the armature winding itself. I 'sorted' that by using a strong vacuum cleaner followed by immersing in a sonic bath. Quote
