Hi DRU,
I have been following your epic but I am new D2 owner also, so no help๐ .
I'll bet that the seller told you about all of these problems before you bought it though, right?๐
I'll keep watchin though and the very best of luck.

Maybe it would be just as cheap to find a used mag. and there is guys on here that sell some all the time. As for the filter yes you can make a circle & put it in where the lines go to the cooler.Some say they plug it off completely & remove the valve & spring from under the plate on the bottom of the filter base.If you want to you could try & heat the tapered ends of the pipes & remove those fittings & solder them on to some new piping even just to make a circle.As for the mag. a D4 has the same mag. & starting engine. As for the water pump the bearings might be seized so maybe it hasn,t been greased properly so sounds like you may have to remove it & repair it. Did you take the belt off & try and turn it by hand?
I dismantle last summer one d2 5j and still have some parts and have some EISEMAN magneto parts too.
Thanks!
email me at [email protected] with a list and what you want to get out of the stuff you have that I can use.

You can get coils rewound in the UK for ยฃ50,a complete overhaul with a two year warranty is ยฃ250.
Martyn,
Thanks! If it comes down to shipping across the pond for repairs I will. First I'll try and exhaust the resources here on the Continent!

I can see my home email at work and have limited reply.
If I can see an email like yours, I'll print it and continue on.
If I am in the middle of a hot job, I don't have time.
My wife opens it at home, thinks its junk email and deletes it.
Hector, Any chance you have a D2 radiator cap in good serviceable condition?
If so, I would like to buy it.
