I have just got my Magneto back from repair again and was told there was too much oil inside magneto.
The magnet used to work fine when cold and run out of spark when hot and return again when cooled down.
Flat twin Harley Davidson model W Magneto is driven by gear in primary drive. Spare parts book shows a "Felt Washer" and a "Tin Shaft Washer" which go between Magneto and primary gear casing but in what order. Since I started working on my fathers bike there has never been any thing but a felt washer with a 3/4" hole in the centre.
Can someone please let me know what the sizes of the Tin Shaft Washer for ID , OD , and thickness and also the hole size in the felt washer as I assume the outer Diameter would be similar to magneto size.
Does the Tin Washer go against the case or the magneto as I assume this washer is what stops oil getting into magneto somehow. Is there any shape or is the Washer flat??
Any help will be greatly appreciated Colin
