Ignition pickup wiring repair

[Mototech]

Hi,
I have a 3C, 180 MK1 & the wiring from the ignition pickups is a mess. They are potted into the plate, so is there a method of repairing the wiring rather than throwing the whole lot in the bin!

Plenty clever b's on here who no doubt can do it themselves, but any decent Auto electrician can replace those wires. (Good idea to tell them there isn't much room between the pick ups and the housing...........................)

If you want a Berganzie you need to know the basics of Old School Motorcycle Electrics, wiring and ability to handle a tin soldering iron, solder and heat shrink with a re-enforced harness such as trimmed tie straps to re-enforce the harness - Inside side and out. Vibration and corrosion is the killer.

Highly recommend "RUST CHECK RED" Points or Electronic.,

NO ONE is GOING TO SPEND THE TIME to FiX IT FOR YOU.

If triggers are damaged you may have to buy new pickups but as far as wiring goes - IT'S ALL YOU - Then you have to be right on with timing, valve gap, carb, setup... etc - Good LUCK.

A Breganzie is one "HELL "of a Ride if you know what you're doing.

I replaced my pick up wires. If the wires have broken off the pick up, you can chip and cut away at the housing to expose the metal to solder wire onto. You need to use something like Araldite to cover this back up. Something that won't go soft with heat.

Nice example Chappo

Hurts me to see an ignorant Breaganzie Rider break an Italian bike.

If you're that much of a Breganzie Enthusiasts you can use a vice, a drill... etc and modify your Ignition plate from a 3 Cly Yamaha or from a Flat piece of Stainless on a Kitchen Table.

I doubt very much a modern turn key Motorcycle will last 50 years without a little COMPREHENSIVE TLC.

I used silicon cable and suitable tubing to this job that should withstand the heat and a lot of vibration. Separate cables to one tube which fitted well to the original cable inlet. And then a water tight automotive connector to the other end.
