started re conditioning a spare lucas mdv magneto today ,just thought id give you an insight as to what goes wrong and the very time consuming process of rebuilding them
the windings go all green and lose continuity
they have to be hacked off with a sharp wood chisel and the laminated core cleaned up (bosch symbol )
NEXT make up side plates mica paper like in yer toaster and some kapton ones
stagger the seams ,
insulate bare centre with hi temp glass fibre tape , wind primary 4 layers ,solder ht fine wire to one of the ends ,insulate with kapton tape and glass fibre tapes , start winding secondry and interleave with paper every layer ,adjust width of coil as turns layers progress ,stopped at 7 thousand odd turns , to be continued
aim for 10 +k turns on secondry
will update on it as it progresses
