Contact Boyer first, see what they say. Usually best to go where it was made for repair. 1 reason is the resin they use - each manufacturer uses their own resin to fill those boxes up, so each manufacturer knows what "antidote" to disolve the resin they used! Then is usualy a simple replacement part and all's well again. Cheers.

If you call Boyer Bransden they will sell you any component separately, if a repair does not work. Pricing is fair and shipping swift, even across the pond. greg

Ive had Boyers on my bikes for many years, only twice has the magic box gone kaput (sooty smoke & foul smell! ) and in both cases it was due to the reg/rectifier cocking-up & giving out too much juice - 16v was enough the last time . Boyer will sell all parts individually.
