Caterpillar Ten mag rebuild

More

I am looking for a recommendation on a good shop to rebuild my Cat Ten mag. The replaceable parts have been replaced, new plug wires and plugs but I seem to have a annoying miss at both hi speed and idle. My guess is the mechanical impulse isn’t working properly and I have inconsistent firing when it skips.

I can get the engine running with the mag like it is but notice that when I pull it over to start the impulse works about a 2/3 of the time. Is there a good shop recommended by Cat owners that would do a good job?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Tom

Google " OLD CROAK MAGNETO". Yes, that is a real name and I have had 2 or 3 mags done by them. Reasonable and they dont just replace parts if they are not needed. I have been pleased. Grant.

Thanks Grant!
Will the outfit be around long enough for me to pull the mag and get it to them? LOL

Old Cat mechanics never die, they just turn to rusted yellow metal.
