STARFIRE rebuilt
Early H1 Ignition Boxes
The charge for this service is approx $350USD per set...ie, BOTH A and B boxes. I will NOT gut the boxes for you...its messy and I have no access to any plating services here. The desired cosmetic appearance is your responsibility. Return shipping charges will be $35USD as these incur a weight penalty. Turn around time 1 to 3 weeks.
FIRST, photograph the units, taking note of the coloured covering ..if any,
on the two transistor cases, these are the round indents at the
top, and the wiring colours. This will allow me to perfectly duplicate the look
of the original version.
The boxes must be completely gutted. This is best done by removing the aluminum
tag and carefully grinding the two rivets. Cut the black
double connectors and save these, if in good condition, as these are very
difficult to source. Remove the 4 screws and pry off the base. If your
units are epoxy filled with a solid grey material, throw the box into a slow fire.
This will reduce the internals to ash, and, with work, allow the
unit to come apart. We only want the housings, and the internal metal work...ie,
the transformer and transistor mounting hardware. These will
not be damaged by the heat.
After a clean up the two boxes can be then plated by you, to your specifications, and the refurbished tags replaced. The other required decals are available
elsewhere. Send me the boxes, and photographs.
The B box internal electronics, transformer, and the two transistors will be
replaced to factory specs, the wiring connectors added, reassembled and fully
tested before being returned. The A box will be fully rebuilt using modern
equivalent components of a higher rating. Units will be minimally potted for
moisture and vibration purposes and will remain more easily repairable in the
future.
This will completely solve the Early H1 CDI problem for those owners requiring
an absolutely perfect rebuild, to all intents and purposes being a new unit.
