  4. cheers appreciate it
  5. just fitted the original mag on the Gilera, but he spark is very weak. I'm thinking that the mag has lost most of its magnetism (they lose it when knocked, not bridge capped or just age) does anyone know if someone has a growler or offers this type of service in the uk?

  7. stick with it..
  8. right, the new crank has an old style taper so the AM6 system is out now Boooo! So I asked mr Bob and he recons its the CEV mag I need as there are 2 part numbers for ols crank and new. Guess what, I had a CEV mag originally so after a bit of juggling around it fits. The only issue I have is the key way is different. Just used the Dial Gauge ( thanks Airhead) and found tdc and had to spin the coils 180' ish and luckily the backplate holes line up with the threads. Just need to buy new contacts as these ones are worn and I will replace the condensor too as I'll rewire the Mag. Managed to get a spark, so onwards and upwards
  9. Ha ha, I remember my daughter at 5 waking us up a 5am " come on, wake up ITS MORNING!" then bashing us on the head
  10. I did say parking was SHITE!
  11. it might be slightly higher as alloys are developed over time especially with silicone content and forging processes. Also alu has strange properties where its the oxide layer that's present and this forms a barrier which extends its heat range
