Hi All,
This is my 1st post on the forum, and the question that I asking isn't for myself, it's for a friend in Australia. He sent me an email today about his mag. Here it is.
I am having trouble with Alan’s 1929 BSA Sloper Frame No P6180 Engine No P6680.
I have 2 MAG/DYNO both have the same Lucas part No MDB1
But when looking at the Magneto from the contract points end , one has the HT pickup lead on the left side the other on the right side. I would like to find out which one is correct.
I was going to phone the UK BSA owners club or the National Motor Cycle Museum. I would very much like you to phone them for me if you would and let me know the cost and I will fix you up.
The MAG/DYNO are cast in one alloy housing. You are not able to remove the dynamo assembly as on the WM20. which is secured with a strap, keeping the dynamo secured to the magneto section.
As I think they will have to do some research on this request, they will have to phone you back . and I don’t think they would be pleased to have to phone back to Australia.
I don't know anything about Slopers, so I hope someone on the forum does.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

My 1929 500 cc OHV Sloper mag has same model stamping and has the HT at the right rear - that is closest to the timing side. No idea if this is the original though.

Hi Beven,
Thanks for that :) I will pass it on to my friend. You wouldn't have a good photo of it would you?

Here's a couple of photos of the magdyno on my bike. As I said, I have no idea if it is the original type.
Dyno is currently not connected so I'm running a total loss from a gel battery. May look into getting it going once I've sorted out more pressing issues.
Cheers,
Bevan

Hi Beven,

Thanks for all your help :)
