[QUOTE="bengunnhrd, post: 17071, member: 575"] I have BTH mags on two bikes and have been very satisfied with them, the advantages being much easier starting and smoother running at lower speeds. I had a problem with one fitted to a Rapide, the bike which had not been started for a few weeks only kicked up on one cylinder. Thinking it was a fuel problem i fiddled with this and fiddled with that and it cut in on the other cylinder, ran the engine for a few minutes all seemed fine. Intending to go for a spin i got the bike out a week later and had the same problem, after taking the carb off more times than the barmaids k------ i realized i had got a mag problem. It turned out that one of the ht leads had been touching a cylinder fin and melted through to the core which had caused a fault in the mag. Sent it back to BTH, and was returned quickly at minimal cost. I have since replaced the ht leads with cloth weave outer covering. [/QUOTE]
