I'm watching this subject with interest 'cause I've got a mag (somewhere) that I plan to use if I can ever find all my parts after this move.

Unfortunatly I think your magnets are getten weak bro.  There is nothing "easy" about the fix for that.  

The mags should be rebuilt every four or five years or so depending on how much you run it.  Silly thing is that if you run it more they last longer.  Anyway, Buck at Goblin is really good.  Little spendy but he backs his work.  I think he did the complete overhaul on mine for about $300.  That really isn't bad up against a new one.  

no it really aint cause a new jim hunt like mine is 600 bucks

I hope it is not a magnet cause them things are pricy since they have gone to the new improved earth magnets . I had a guy tell me the other day that he thought I might have an open coil . So he wants me to change the coil before I try anything else . They bout 90 bucks so I dont know if I am gonna try it or not . I might just pull it and send it back to Hunt . called them up and they said to send it to them and they would fix it . The only thing is they charge a 75 dollar handling fee not counting parts and labor . So that too could get pricey

That crack in the coil leads me to belive it's the coil.  Morris uses the new rare earth
magnets but I've heard that the new magnets are too much for the old coils.  It might
be cheaper to send it in as opposed to throwing parts at it till it works.

Yeah Mack I think you are right cause I have done stuff like this before . You know just throwin parts to sumthin till it works and I have found that I could have bought new stuff cheaper than the old learn the hard way trial and error . So i am prolly gonna pull it this week and get it off to Hunt for a rebuild . Atleast that way I know it will be right when I get it back .

  is it fixed yet shawn hurry up brutha i wanna see pics of this new sled mayn

Check with Goblin too.  Buck might be able to do it cheaper.  I don't know but I do know I am pleased with the work he has done for me.

L no I have done got lazy and Dingers buddy Buck want return my emails . Anyhow the guy that I was gonna trade with has done seen the error of his ways and backed out on me . Get this he is workin on an old HONDA 500 chopper instead . Aint that just insane ? Pass up a nice old Pan/Shovel for a danged ole honda 500 . Now dat is sum cheut

WHATTTTT   i cant believe it mayn   hey just pack tha whole sled up an shipp it to me  ill fix it free of charge an ride it bac to ya hows that

now that sounds like a plan

see i knew you was a smart feller i been sayin soo

now how am I supposed to get you back home ? break sumthin else so you can fix it and then you drive that home ?

    im a pretty good farm hand ya know an i can fix bout anything       ya wasnt spupposedta think that far ahead
