OK, did a recheck of the magneto. Not good.

Switch is still faulty, because we're getting readings when things should not be reading.

New plan: order a switch and recharge the magnets.

Now, I need info on where to obtain a better switch for good money.

Does the re-pro ignition switch have a pattern of sending DC voltage to the magneto, thus weakening the magnetic strength of the magneto ??????????????

William

Get a rebuild of your switch from Ben Martin.

He does original switches, and nice quality work.

Send along your switch key too that mates with the cyl or if not, get a pair as he also mates the key to the tumbler.


Restored and rebuilt to like new by Ben.

Found the re-pro switch innards has weak rivits holding the circular contacts thus lessining the movement of the contacts to properly make contact with the magneto post on the switch,

Used a back-up buck under the rivit, and tapped the other side of the rivit with a punch and hammer. Effectively helped to run engine on magneto, but magneto outut topped out ay 12 volts AC.

Need to re-charge magnets after rebuilt switch is obtained from John Danuser.

I got the 5012CBQ repair kit from Lang's, not the whole switch. Some don't like it because it's different from the original parts. I think it's better. No problems.

My switch is a repro switch. So do I just contact him and request a new switch (whole assembly) or should I send him my repro switch?

I know most if not all repros are numbered 55. I have about three original 55 keys that I use. I don't like the repro keys.

Thanks

By the way, there are two different repair kits sold by Lang's, and I assume a lot of the other dealers. Surprise, surprise, the one that costs more is better.

For those with a coil box switch, I don't think there is a kit. This is probably because you can easily fix it yourself with parts from the local hardware store.

Dan, is the switch in the foreground with an early 1919 cast switch lever and a Hoyt ammeter from your Autowa?

Regards,

Steve
