[SEL] Magneto Repair

[Allen Home]

I have just bought a Sumter 12 Magneto for my siezed headless 
Fairbanks-Morse. The purchase was sort of a hair shirt issue to goad me 
into doing the engine after procrastinating for about three years. I 
would like to clean up the magneto but I am somewhat leary about getting 
things apart on it. I have heard over the years that one should not take 
a mag apart because of some unknown disaster that could occur. So what 
can happen and why? If I put a keeper bar on the horseshoe magnets would 
not the magnetism be retained with no need to recharge the magnets. I 
would like to buff up the metal surfaces and clean up all and sundry. 
Any ideas or advice for me please. 

BTY please remember I am the Canadian Jeff , the good guy
