[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 40734, member: 2806"] The guy who "restored" my two magnetos 15 years ago is no longer of this earth so he's out of the picture. I would love to be able to confidently recommend someone(s) who I knew would do a proper job of rebuilding and remagnetizing magnetos. Unfortunately, the only way I could do that would be if I had seen their work for myself. The "problem" is that good restorations don't fail, but a lot of bad ones soldier along longer than one might expect, so just the fact a magneto works for a while isn't evidence of a good restoration. Since I've only seen the "quality" of the work on ones that have failed (and, in only a few cases am I completely certain of the person who did the work), I don't feel comfortable making either an "approved" or a "disapproved" list. Instead, what I've tried to do with the detailed magneto restoration on Britbike Forum is give people the information they need to identify for themself restorers who will at least use proper components and magnetizers. I go into some detail on this in the Epilog to that thread: [URL]http://www.britbike.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=464907#Post464907[/URL] [/QUOTE]
