Magneto Pickups - Time to replace!?

 I *may* have used silicone grease...as I do on gasket 'other' surfaces for easy removal...mostly works well

I'd be vary wary of using standard silicone near any electrical gear. Years ago I had a sideline of repairing Renault electronic  automatic transmission controllers, the first few all came back within days. The silicone I had used had coated the inside with vinegar induced verdigris. Wouldn't want that on the slipring etc. The answer was simply to use none corrosive silicone.

 ^^ Point noted, but was it silicon grease? This is what I *may* have used...not actually sure if I did or not...

 I'm in two minds about it. It's good for rubber stuff, so i used it on the seal when I put a windscreen in my van, but it seems to go everywhere (usual grease thing), and I seem to have an early morning film that I can't remove- not usually a major issue, just really annoying, but not sure if it's the culprit either....
