Generator windings needed for K1 curvy.

I've got some, sorry forgot to say in other thread.

Comes with pulse coil and that moulded bit you were worried about all as one unit.

Thats champion, how much would it be, where are you.
I will confess, I jumped in and changed the reg/rec for a new one, the original may be ok if you want it.

Not worth the risk, quite plausible for a buggered reg rec to fry the generator.

I'm in Halifax, £30 + P+P unless you want to collect, will test it tomorrow.

That was my next question, could another underlying fault cause one of the 18 windings to go bang ?

Overcurrent from a dodgy reg rec causes heat build up which will find weakest point in insulation and arc that bit out. Or it was failure of insulation which spread out.

Personally I would change reg-rec for a newer MOSFET one just for reliability.
