kicker Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Choice, interested in seeing how it runs with it Setting timing can be a bit fiddly but not hard, my current timing mark is a line drawn in vivid which I copied from another flywheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 sweet! managed to locate the arrows on magneto casing and the flywheel. well i now have a spare points assembly in pretty good nick if you ever need parts kicker also the little slots cut in the ends of the crank indicate postion, ie marks pointing straight down at TDC. we may have a bit of a victa vs villiers thing on our hands here.. shame you wont be at nats.

Steelies Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 accepted. Question: will a bike speedo sensor pick up magnets in magneto flywheel? then adjust settings for use as tachometer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 could/should do but may go too fast. they will probably not be able to be adjusted to a 'wheel' that small. you could make something else up though without any problems.... or just put it on the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
