$92 bucks. Yup, NINETY-TWO hard earned dollars. YT got that from me for a complete Magneto rebuild kit for an IH H4 mag. Only problem is, I'm a bit disappointed with what I got. The mag tower gasket would not line up w/ the holes, the new mag tower had the copper strip screwed in cockeyed, as it would not fit. HOW could whomever put that together NOT have seen that? Obviously, they simply didn't care. (I had to unscrew the strip, trim it, and reinstall it. Not a big deal, but I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO DO THAT AT ALL!) worst of all, the condensor will NOT work. Its too long. You can put it in, and it will actually "FUNCTION", but you can't put the hold down clamp in, as the screw will not clear the base of the condensor.
I'm just aggravated. Its not like there weren't any H4 mags in the world they could have use to CHECK and see if their product would work!
The packaging is the typical red label on a white box that I've seen on so many import parts sold by TISCO, and the like. I should have known.
The official stance is, "no return on electrical parts."
Of course. Why should anyone stand behind their product? Who'd stand behind the foreign junk anyway? I sure wouldn't, but then I wouldn't sell it in the first place.
I could rant for hrs on how the US has sold its soul to cheap foreign labor. I suppose its my fault too, for trying to save a buck, but crimeny, this is "Yesterday's Tractors", not "Yesterday's Rickshaws!"
Well, now that its out of my system, I still need a hand. After replacing the coil, points, rotor, rotor gear, mag tower, condensor (sort of), thoroughly disassembling and cleaning, and repacking the bearings, insuring the impulse works well, and checking the spark at the tower, it is still thready and weak. The ONLY thing I can think of now, is to have the magnet recharged. It will attract a screwdriver tip, but its not what I'd call a "strong" attraction.
Is there anyone out there that can recharge my magnet? ONLY thing I ask is that you be in the UNITED STATES, a US CITIZEN, and take pride in your work.......
Incidently, the original condensor is on the left. Note the shoulder below the thread on the YT condensor on the right.....
