Hi all, I’m quite new to this and I have sent my mag away for repair, prior to sending I have fitted new points and a new brush to the pick up,
The mag sparked blue or white at the points but nothing on the ht lead.
I spoke to a guy who told me it needed a new condenser and rewind but he was too busy and recommended a guy in Swindon,
The guy in Swindon sounds a nice bloke and called me saying it needs a total rebuild £400 to £500 plus vat,
Does that sound about right?
Thanks

Re: Mo1 mag rebuild cost
Joe,
I would seriously suggest you speak to Tony Cooper. I have had a couple of MO1's rebuilt by him, the last a month or so ago. Took two weeks from dropping it off to being done. Rewound armature/ new condenser, slip ring, bearings, points, pickup, fibre gear, everything vapour blasted and cleaned, stainless points cover and re-chromed catch for about half what you have been quoted. Give him a ring and see what he can do for you. Lots of folks in the club use him. Never heard anything but good news from the stuff he does

Re: Mo1 mag rebuild cost
I'll second Alan's comment. Tony did an M01 for me a couple of years back. My armature was undersized, and he replaced it as part of the rebuild - all in for a lot less than you are quoting.
My mag sparks very strongly when you turn it by hand, and the bike starts first time.

Re: Mo1 mag rebuild cost
Go to Tony Cooper. I have had mags rebuilt by others which have been improved massively by Tony when I finally gave up and sent them to him for another repair. His prices are excellent and his work is better still.
