Re: Cleaning mag plates

[mr-asa]

From everything I have seen, the paint these motors used was an oil based paint. When you blast the ignition plate with brake clean to remove the oil and grime, you might also be hitting the nearby paint and the brake clean will damage the oil-based binder of those paints as well.
Whether it damages it enough to wash it away, or it just weakens it… Depends on too many factors for me to tell you. The good thing is that oil based paint gets bonded together stronger the older it is.

If you remove the plate and do it in another spot, I don’t see the problem, but I wouldn’t do it on the motors
