[underlined] With reference to the Watford magneto on 8-EX which is reported noisy and which you would like to exchange for a Lucas, you may remember that we have a Lucas ERS magneto (No.51) on 16-EX. Should this magneto not be running, we suggest you obtain it off 16-EX for fitting to 8-EX. EFC. | ||
