I ended up going with Mikes Magneto. I called over 20 places. I found only three that would work on a fly wheel coil. Lots of places work on coils just not when they are in a fly wheel. After doing research I decided on Mikes. One person had some very very bad reviews. The other one that you guys referred seemed very knowledgeable but only had a 1 week wait. Mikes was a 2 month wait and while not always, when people have long waits its usually worth it.

They then called after I sent the coil and they actually had one on the shelf already rebuilt. So I get an early X-mas and my wife gets to be even more mad that I'm spending a bunch of money before the holidays.

My coil is bad in my 37 Simplex its an Eiseman 71 LE the coil is getting a reading of 1 ohm should be around 5-8. Have called a few places and lots of people repair tractors but haven't found any that repair flywheel type mags.


Thanks for any help.

Finally ready to start getting this thing going. I need some help finding a headlight original would be best or something that is compatible any suggestions? I also need an air cleaner any suggestions on that. Just planning on getting the motor running and cleaning it,otherwise I just want to keep as original looking as possible.

Thanks

Newbie here, I recently inherited a 1937 from my father that had been sitting for at least 30 years or so. I have got it home and been trying to gather info to start to rebuild it. I contacted Wayne and he was as helpful as he could be. Only problem being he said he has only seen one 1937 complete before, but he was still a wealth of knowledge. He said everything looked original except the compression switch on the motor and possibly the exhaust. Also the clutch cable is not mounted on the handlebar just placed there with tape. Any help would be appreciated on were it went originaly. Also if anyone has a detailed pic of the motor area that would be great. So I can make sure the cables are put in the proper place two of them are off and I want to make sure were they should belong.

I would also like opinions on what I should do with the bike. Should I paint the frame or powder coat it and should I chrome the rims, handlebars and various parts or just paint them. Just looking for what most people have done and what would look better. I'm thinking of getting it running right know and then waiting to completely restore it when I have a better feel for the bike and what I should do.

Thanks,

Lester
