Magneto Cutout Brush

[Miker]

Hi I have bought a new repro points end cover but the cut out does not seem to work. If I do continuity between the wire pickup and the carbon brush on the inside of the cap there is nothing. I do get continuity to the brass tangs on the inside so for some reason the carbon brush is not making a connection . Can the brush be removed and replaced and if so how.

Never mind guys. Got it sorted.

Solved a problem for me . Mine didn't work  ,eventually just stopped mine by letting in the clutch and holding the front brake on and have done for years , Andrew do you have an end cap with a carbon bush on it please ? cheers Miker.

Unfortunately, these units supplied by 'You know Who' have cut out brushes which are glued into the holder with glue which is non-conductive.........  Grrrr!!

Could this be a use for conductive paint to bridge between the brush and its mounting bracket?
