During a repair we will dismantle your magneto and test all the component parts. We will change the capacitor as standard; we do this on all car magneto repairs as these tend to be a point of failure, especially if it still has an original capacitor.

Capacitors, which are short-term storage devices, often fail in older magnetos due to dielectric degradation (short circuit) or conductor breakage (open circuit). A short circuit absorbs all the power, hence no output or spark. With an open circuit the device has no CAPACITY to absorb the reaction voltage (back EMF) from the coil, therefore this en...
The voltage generated across magneto coils is quite high, in the order of 20,000 volt if no spark plugs are in place. The coils are, of course, designed for this pressure but no insulation is perfect. A small number of electrons is ever present and over years or decades this flow carves out an ever widening pathway through the insulation. This expe...
The contact points which are mounted onto the end of the armature shaft, used to time the breaking of the primary winding current, will become pitted and worn, especially so if the capacitor is faulty. The result in high resistance will reduce the current flow in the primary winding and reduce the magnetic flux which adversely effects the secondary...
The permanent magnet can be static, as in the classical horse-shoe form, with the transformer windings rotating between the poles, or sometimes the magnet is mounted on the armature and rotates within the core of a static winding. Alnico, the material most often used to fabricate early magnets has a tendency to lose its induced magnetic field over ...
If you are having trouble with your ignition system we recommend that you first change your spark plugs and HT leads. Over time the HT leads can degrade and reduce the potential difference at the spark plug. On many Rolls Royce models there is a dual ignition system. This can mask a fault on these cars as the vehicle will continue to run until the ...
If you have identified the magneto as the source of your ignition fault send it to us for repair. We will check all the parts of the magneto for faults and will provide a firm quotation for a repair along with a description of the magneto repair required. The original coil may be reusable, although it is susceptible to faults - as described in our ...
Jun 30, 2023 · For the corrosion inside the mag head, the reason is that the vacuum generated by the rotation of the rotor sucks air inside the head and with it, humidity if the car is driven during cold and wet days.
The extensive website was created to de-mystify the magneto, and to encourage owners to undertake as much maintenance, diagnosis and repair as possible. Extensive online libraries contain a wealth of data on many magnetos, also dynamos and other electrical components on classic motorcycles.
Complete reconditioning of your old magneto to as-new factory specification. Full testing of your magneto using our IMRIE 3000 armature tester and spark analysis under different working conditions. ALL WORK DONE HAS A FULL 5 YEAR PARTS AND LABOUR GUARANTEE.
Automotive Magneto FAQ. How is a Vertex Magneto turned on and off? The terminal marked “P” is wired to a grounding switch. To run engine open the switch. To stop, close it. You can use your existing ignition switch by installing a Hunt relay switch. Are special spark plugs needed?

THE magneto, unlike the coil, is a selfcontained unit and does not have to depend on a current supply from a battery as it generates its own primary current. This fact is often argued in favour of the magneto as against coil ignition.
