Re: Rear Magneto strap broken

Very little grease is required for the fibre gear and it may well have enough in there. It certainly does not require to be 'packed' with grease..The easy solution would be to loosen the mag and dynamo straps and slide back the dynamo from the magneto enough to give access to the fibre gear teeth. After retightening the mag straps, apply a little grease to the gear teeth through the resulting hole, turning the engine slowly to access all the teeth...

Regarding the thread in the point block I'm assuming you mean the fixed point...If so you can fit the point from a K2F twin cylinder mag which is a larger diameter...Just drill and tap the block to the correct thread...The K2F point is also slightly longer so it will need to be shortened to match the magdyno point before fitting....Ian

Re: Rear Magneto strap broken

Thank you very very much Ian. I really appreciate this. One point though, on the 16H the mag is bolted to a platform so just the one dyno strap. I can slide out the dyno and just apply a bit of grease to the gear; or do I need to drop in a bit to lubricate the clutch; or is the clutch supposed to run largely dry?
I think I can live with one shrouded retaining screw remaining possibly loose, it's not going anywhere.

Re: Rear Magneto strap broken

I picked up the magdyno clutch housing gasket from Dave Lindsley. He said he helicoils in the correct standard thread and charges £15. He said I'd done well to get the points block for a fiver as one of his customers had paid £50, though not from him. I'm lucky to have him on my doorstep as I've found him excellent and extremely helpful. He does have a long waiting list though, about 5 months.
