That's old bikes for you - should have had it rebuilt while it was on the bench.

I tried to start it when it had cooled down last night and it started first prod so definitely the mag.

The sidecar is now off as the fittings are still in primer and need to be painted now I am sure the alignment is right and it makes mag removal, refitting and timing a lot easier. The bike is up on the bike lift and the mag is now off and ready to go off for a rewind, new condenser and rebuild.

Might get a few more rides before the rainy season :D

Congrats John. You must feel relieved and chuffed to boot :)
