From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: KR> Magnetos To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain The Bendix magneto is a superior magneto to the Slick and if I were you I would not let go of it. I have been running one on my VW 1641cc for years and only had to replace some outdated parts such as the coil hold down clamps and coil itslf. You split the case to get to the coil. There is an AD on it and has to be replaced with the red continental coil which was about $85.00. They are easy to work on and parts are available. I also replaced the impulse coupeling cam and spring. The points can be inspected, the capacitor can also be accessed and the e gap can be adjusted without splitting the case. -Joe >I have a very old Bendix mag no.S4RN-21, and have chance to trade it for a Slick 4016 that was bought new about 25 years >ago and never used.What are the merits of one versus the other?
