Lucas N1 magneto question

Forums

Lucas N1 magneto question - probably a dumb one ;)

All bikes in the shed sorted â? so just sorting out an old Lucas N1 magneto that was on the shelf.

After a bit of TLC I now have a good spark.

However, I notice that when rotated it passes through a âstiffâ phase.

Would I be correct to assume that this is as the armature passes the magnets or could it be a dry bearing?

TIA

Got it sorted :)

Upon closer inspection I noticed that the cam plate was slightly corroded on the incline of the ramp causing undue friction.
