well this is the story of what happend to my bike at the north western rally

botom mount screw for the exciter coils snapped off at the backplate

the spacer must have come off when the screw moved back no sign of it must have got chewd up by the flywheel the exciter coils have had a collision with the flywheel to

they still have perfect resistance and think they would work if the wernt so beat up
and to cap it all something has cut the charging coil as well

last pic aint to clear of the flywheel

Unlucky that eric, but at least you know what is wrong , it will be intresting to see when you have converted over to points if it runs any better.
you got a bargain there from patrick £35.00

cheers
Al

Thats got to be a good decision Eric.You can always cobble up a solution to a points related problem at the side of the road.With the cdi if that packs up at the side of the road you are bollocksed.Just a little routine maintenance will keep it in fine fettle and you should see no difference in performance.
