Many of these units would have come from the factory without a ground wire. Please note, the only reason to NOT get the ground wire is to maintain authenticity. Those without a ground wire are far more prone to short and fail. Units without ground wires will not be warrantied. Never connect this unit to 12 volts direct, use the power source from your harness only. Hooking this unit directly to a non-fused 12v power source will fry the magneto and the warranty will be void. If you still would like to order a unit without a ground wire, please give us a call at 503-463-1130 and order part # 1001582-CoreCharge.

Every part is cleaned examined and made to look as new. The metal parts are restored with the correct clear zinc finish, plastic parts are cleaned and polished, rubber parts are replaced with better than new high quality pieces and new gaskets are installed. We often have to glean damaged parts from other units but even if your core has multiple parts that need replacement we do not charge you extra.
The earlier Cougars used Delrin for this over-ride switch. Later in the year plastic was substituted which was more expensive and less flexible. The Delrin part is borderline translucent. We have reproduced this very vulnerable part so even if you send us a core with an unbroken plastic part your remanufactured part will come with a Delrin part as pictured.
The diaphragm often has leaks in it after decades of use. It is unlikely our new replacement diaphragm will ever go bad, we chose to go with the best possible materials, Trico did not for cost reasons.
These little magnetos are actually pretty durable units, we thoroughly test and clean each one.
Springs are inspected for rust, no rusty parts are reused in our rebuilds...
If the plastic housing as even one hairline crack we discard it.
Clear Zinc plated as new.
Try as you might, these new rubber diaphragms will not fail.
