Just been all around the block on that issue. First of all you need the CD on parts and service manuals from harleyhummer.com. It is cheap and I couldn't do anything without it. Tons of parts are readily available for all models but you need the part numbers. I replaced the plug, plug wire, spark coil, condenser and points. Still not getting a decent spark. Runs but not right. Yes the mag rotor may need to be re-magnetized. After a big search I finally sent it to Stan Waite who is a contributor here. He has done the job, said yes it needed it and it is in the mail. I am holding off on the final element, the ignition coil at $80 until I test the new rotor. Will post the results. One other thing I found is that older light aircraft used a similar magneto which is 4 pole N,S,N,S. If you find an aviation service in your area that works on them they can do the job. I have had a lot of help from this site on my 62 Scatt and like to return the favor. Good luck. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- You might want to check here for wiring diagrams - http://www.harleyhummerclub.org/restore/chapter66/ Also, seem to remember reading that the magneto systems may need to be re-magnetized and think that Mutt has the knowledge and equipment to do the job. Finally, might be worth your time to make sure that the point contacts are clean... a little glaze might stop the whole show. Some fine emery paper would help with that. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Ok, I'm here. I've got power, but no spark. I'm ready to just buy all new parts, but I thought one of you would be able to ask me to help me walk through this simple electrical system. I probably need a new plug,coil and points, but can find no wire diagram to see if it even hooked correctly. I've got the horn to beep, and the headlight has power, but the bulbs burned, the taillight works, but I'm not getting a spark, and this is where I fall short. Not the best with electrical systems. I feel like this should be a no brained, but without a schematic, or the understanding of the magneto and regulator, I'm thinking I should reach out for help. Let me know what you think. And seriously, Thanks. |
