Hi DRU,
I have been following your epic but I am new D2 owner also, so no help😊 .
I'll bet that the seller told you about all of these problems before you bought it though, right?😄
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 £50,a complete overhaul with a two year warranty is £250.
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.
