ZTU magneto

[dnd]

I have a 1945 ZTU with a mag that has been converted to only use the points and it has an external coil. I would like to return this to what was original. Question on who I can contact that would have a magneto I could purchase without a core trade in?

Thanks in advance.

A G or U mag as well as Allis ones will work. FMBK4. R or G4 combine also. Z/R mag needs heavier spring on impulse to run in vertical position. Fairly common magneto.

I have one but it needs rebuilt. The magneto service I use told me the 4B4 mags have a larger case and the coil for those are no longer available.
What they do is get a coil that is available and modify the inside too hold it in the housing. He doesn’t do that anymore because of time constraints.
He is reworking an FM mag for my ZT as go mentioned and just about had to beg him to that.

Have several used/new coils and mags. Coils rarely fail unless full of moisture. 4b4 cases are all the same.
