I tried to search for an answer and didn't have much luck. If this has been discussed before I apologize.
The side stand tab on my Triumph frame has started to crack and after doing some research I've learned that this has been an issue with their earlier side stand tabs for others as well.
I plan on grinding the crack to where I can tack a weld and slowly bend it back to where it functions properly and doesn't lean to the point of where it could break and fail. My question is since I am running a magneto as my ignition am I able to weld the tab with the mag still installed or am I risking frying my condenser and points? I am planing on disconnecting my spark plug wires and the stator wires that go to my tympanium/regulator rectifier. I will be MIG welding also if that helps at all.
Forgot to mention, yes I will be removing the gas tank,
Any information as always is greatly apprecaited
