Great video sir. If I can add some value, to many Magneto systems are witchcraft, smoke and mirrors. OK, usually a larger points gap gives more issues on these. People go slightly over gap to allow for heel wear when fitting new points....results in a no start OE very weak spark indeed. Lovely old buses though G3Ls Always worth cleaning all earth's and connectors every few months.

A very nice bike and a useful video Terry. The only comment I would make is to use the brake cleaner before you oil everything to save washing the lubrication away.

Thank you for this video. I have been having issues starting my G3L. Must check the gap now! Mine is a 47 civvy model with a slash cut silencer. I cannot believe the difference in engine note. Thanks again.

Nice work Terry. Educational and entertaining. Just one small query from this nit-picker. Lucas fitted a backing plate to the contact-breaker spring, placed between the CB spring and the washer and retaining screw. Its curve is outwards to avoid a stress-point where the spring bends and lessen the possibility of fracture. I didn't see this in your video.

You’re quite right Jonathan - I noticed the backing plate in the manual but unfortunately mine wasn’t fitted with one. She doesn’t seem any the worse for it but I’ll see if I can acquire one before the spring fractures

I ordered a contact breaker point set from ‘green wholesale experts’ in India in August but they still haven’t arrived. I’ll buy NOS in the UK in future
