Where to get new magneto in UK

[Michael80chinadoll]

My bike randomly stopped sparking one day and it was the little plugs on the end of the wire from the magneto that fell of on the black wire which connects to the cdi,i tried soldering it which worked for a bit but now its done it again and this time i think im just going to get a new magneto to save me from the hassle so wondering where to get one as its almost 20 pound to get it shipped here from bike berry,the ones on ebay either look bad or dont ship here so a link to a decent one would be appreciated

The wire will screw out of the CDI. You can change it with a new one from an auto parts or motorcycle shop store.

BTW, I put a 8 mm solid core wire on my CDI. I had to file the casing down to 6 mm to fit the CDI.

Here is what it looks like.

I think you mean the spark plug wire that is quite thick,i mean the 2 wires that come out of the cdi that have an end on them for 2 wires on each,i had to solder the black wire coming from the magneto to the Y shaped end from the cdi,as the end of the magneto wire fell off and had very bad connection,soldering fixed it for maybe 2 times going out but now im back to square 1 so im after looking and found this kit on amazon that comes with the CDI,Magneto and a spark plug-(which i wont use).It doesnt look the best but id say its not much different to the original one as my engine is a chinese one not like the ones on bike berry

Don't kid yourself, BB uses some good junk too.

Do you have a picture of the wires that broke? I usually solder those connections anyway, those connectors just fall apart.

I dont know what to do because im not good at soldering at all and i hate dealing with small wires but i can try solder the wires together although i might just mess it up even more

I think I put a little how to on soldering in the electrical forum. You need some heat shrink tubing (small) along with an iron and solder.

Whenever I put together a new CDI system to the rest of the wiring to make the proper connections, I already know that the so-called fasteners that plug into each other are waaaay too loose to stay together, I simply use an ordinary regular electrical wiring crimping tool and that has always done the job for me, it never works itself loose, I do not have to solder it into place etc.

Electrical crimping tool puts an end to this type of common problem so many folks in the forum seem to always have.
If worse comes to worse, you can even crimp with a simple pair of pliers if you have to.

Yeah i put on my new magneto and cdi today and at first it didnt work but it was because my magneto wasnt gapped right but thats fixed and it starts but I definitely will crimp it if i can find my crimping tool
