Magneto poinst and condenser - where to buy?
Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2014 7:56 pm
My 62 XLCH started (pun) getting hard to start. My points were badly pitted, even though they are only six months old. I filed them down, and it now starts easily, but I fear they will end up pitting again soon. They should last years and years.
It seems that points for everything are made today from whatever crappy metal the Chinese decide to make them out of this week. My Ford NAA tractor was getting hard to start, and the points (probably 20 years old) were badly pitted. I replaced them with a set from Carquest, and 2 weeks later, it was no-start again. The new points were burned black. I got a set from Napa, and they've been running fine for 2 years.
I got my CH mag points, condenser and cap from Mainely Magnetos. Maybe just a bad batch. But I'd like to get a new set from someone else. Any recommendations?
