BSA B35-2 No Spark

[JammyRedRoo]

Hi All i am pretty new to the Pre War BSA, so help needed mine is a B35-2 with little to no spark, i have checked the plug, lead & points all seems fine. So removed the Pick Up from the Magneto and found well not what i expected, nothing in the Pick Up and just a wire protruding from the Magneto. I have attached a couple of pictures to give you a better idea of what i mean.

You have a Maglita combined generator rather than a magneto.

The wire you see is the HT coil outlet.

Hi Julian yes thanks mine is the Maglita FD but what connects or how does the HT wire connect to the pick up as there is nothing in between or am i missing something ? 

[JulianS]

The HT spike may simply touch the brass section of the HT holder?

Ok i will assemble the whole lot and give it another try i will let you know how it goes, Thanks
