Riding a thumper with vertical cylinder dead.

I did the same and replaced both while in there.

Sounds familiar as I swapped the flywheel a few years back.

Thanks guys, I'll order the parts today and shoot for next weekend while the in-laws are here

Exactly the same, except you change the pick ups while you are in there.

pulled it all apart to size up the job for parts arrival, admittedly, really just wanted to find a loose wire to one of the pickups. No such luck, it looks as should be but for the ohm reading indicating the failure.

Just doesnt look like a part that would fail..... but cant argue with the deductive analysis and walk thru of Hayes manual.

***UPDATE***

Well ladies, I am indebted.

Couldnt have done it without your help, I just pieced it back together this afternoon and she fired right up. Although electric has always been a weak point for me, your direction proved infallible and did it all WAAYYYY under budget. Tools and parts (off ebay) left me with a total cost $85.
