Hi I have a Bosch FU4B magneto for sale suitable for an early Standard Fordson I believe it appears to be complete (see photo) and has been dry stored for between 30 and 40 years have not tried it so assume there is no spark bought it with a lot of other spares a long time ago. Offers.
Regards Len.

Hi Gerald, thanks for your offer just spoke to a guy that had one advertised in Tractor & Machinary for £200 ono he sold it immediately I think I'd be wise to check this one over to see if there is a spark, sorry to have messed you about.
Regards Len.

Hi Len,

My offer was based on the assumption that the magneto would not spark, due to the fact that they lose their magnetism when stored, plus it appears to be fitted with a Lucas impulse drive which is not original.

If you need to have it refurbished it will probably cost you £200.00!
Whatever the outcome please contact me before you sell it.

Regards.

Gerald

Hi Gerald, sorry for the delay I totally agree with you it probably would cost in the region of £200 to rebuild, I will try it the next time I go to my parents and let you know the outcome, with regard to the impulse drive I have no idea I'm sure you know more about these mags than I do.
Cheers Len.
