    Check with Andreas, he likely has one. I actually have one, but I'd have to get the rotor off my dead engine to get to it and I don't have the puller bolt to do it with, so it still sits in place on it. I'd just send it to you if it was off, but I can't get it off the end of the crankshaft right now.

      No, the field coil, not the rotor. I'll check with Andreas. Thanks.

        The field coil is under the rotor right? At least that was my understanding. If not, then it should be easy for me to get to it on my dead engine.

          The field coil is in the alternator side case and comes off with it while the rotor stays on the end of the crank shaft.

            Ok, let me take a look and see how hard it is to get the cover off my old engine. I think it's sitting in an easy place to get to. I know it's good too, as it worked when I pulled the engine and the resistance was pretty much right on the money.

              I assume you need a GOOD one? I have one from my MNS, but the wires are questionable. I repaired them, and they still worked when I took the cover off the bike, but I don't know how well they'd faire once removed from the cover again. You're welcome to it if you want it though.

                Um, yeah, I'd rather install a good one.

                  Spare good one

                  I got a good spare that was given to me when mine was in question, but I didn't need it. Yours for shipping cost.
