Need ARD Mag help was created by Mercury Kid
Started screwing with the ARD mag on my Z1 chopper yesterday with mixed results. I swapped the point for a Honda 350 point which is an exact match, and tried a couple different condensers, including the original, but still have very weak spark. I had high hopes, since all signs point to this unit never actually being used, but I think it needs a new coil I can't find anything about these anywhere. There is a thread on the sohc honda forum that I read quite a bit of but still didn't see anything about where to get parts. Any help please?
I added a pic for reference, and already emailed Joe Hunt Mags

APE JAY posted this quite a while back in another thread and it was found to be a good contact back then. Not sure about now, but worth a try.

The number is disconnected. Google'd them and got another number from a pdf of instructions from the honda forum again, that number is bad too. Also found magnetoparts.com, his number is connected, so I'll try there next, but I'll look into the dragbike forum, thanks.

Found out that the cap and rotor are Fiat 600 parts, still looking for a coil and a belt.
