Hi,
Could anybody determine if this Lucas KVF GM1 Magneto ordering Number 42134D has the better oil-seal and drive side bearing which according to Richardson (page 126 at the bottom) was introduced in 1953?
If it was the older version, could it be modified? How?
Another question is what acceptaple secondary winding resistance should there still be for sufficient sparks?
I am measuring 3,4kOhm while newly wound BTH and Bosch show about double.
When tickling the primary winding with a 6 V Battery I see and hear very good spark on both plugs but when kickstarting the Twin there are no sparks visible.
Thanks Joe
