[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 24210, member: 4034"] I had my magneto rebuilt by Dave Linsley about 4 years ago. Nothing further to report... And I wouldn't (and didn't) attempt to refurb the Lucas ATD. I found I had five old ones in a box, most of which could be dismantled by vigorous shaking, which told its own story. I went the Roy Price route, and have never had cause to regret it. Even with a Shadow first gear it trundles around town at walking pace with a complete absence of drama, which remains absent accelerating back up to warp speed. My experience of self-generating electronic systems (like B-TH, or is it BT-H?) goes back to Femsa units on TZ Yamahas, and is that 1) the first sign of impending trouble is that they stop working and 2) the only cure is replacement. They're rather like the little girl with the curl on her forehead: When she was good, she was very, very good. And when she was bad, she was horrid. [/QUOTE]
