British Bikes / Re: Ariel Huntmaster trouble with hot starting
« on: April 11, 2011, 07:54:36 PM »
Thanks for all the advice, i had wondered if the magneto was on its way out. I'll now show my ignorance i hadn't realised there was a capacitor/condensor [they are the same thing right??] on these bikes with a magneto! Do you have any suggestions where i can get the magneto fixed/exchanged/replaced?

British Bikes / Ariel Huntmaster trouble with hot starting
« on: April 10, 2011, 09:02:22 PM »
Hello folks i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about a irritating problem with my 1958 Huntmaster. It starts fine and if stopped restarts ok if cold but when it gets really warmed up then it is a pig to restart. If at that point i take the plugs out to check the spark then it aint there or is very weak . When it cools down the spark returns, looks ok then it restarts no problem. I have changed ht leads, cleaned and gapped the points, cleaned the thing that goes round in the magneto through the ht lead holes, checked the ignition timing and the tappets and it is still doing it. So far I haven't changed spark plugs, plug caps or ht lead brushes.
Any bright ideas appreciated
cheers
