Hi Woodsy and All,

I see from the photo that you have pushed the magnet ring down too far and broke the top of the ring. The reason I say that is that I did the same. As a result the ring rubbed on the breaker plate and sat to low to the module.The motor wouldnt fire until I raised it slightly. Fortunately I still had the broken plastic and was able to glue it on.Haven't missed a beat since.

Don't use a socket to tap the rig down as some instructions advocate. Put it down carefully until it sets with the cam. As I said I found out the hard way.

Cheers

Yeh Rocket, thats right.

The magnet ring was a tight fit and wouldn't seat far enough for the rotor to push home.
So, a little bit TOO much gentle persuasion did the damage.
But, I just levered it up the hex shaft a tad back into place.
Runs like a dream.

cheers
Woodzy

$154.00 to my door for kit and coil..

Wont be fitted for a while, engine reco in progress.

Ordered 7/11 received today 24/11..

Pretty good delivery time from USA..

After a little help..

I also purchased the Flame Thrower coil to suit my electric kit..
However doesnt fit into the factory coil mount bracket .

New coil is 55mm in Diameter, Any ideas on a suitable bracket?

Please let me know of any that are a direct replacement please, as i would like to keep coil in original location..


Cheers, A.

Yeah I know about you lot.. Now get out to your red motor powered wagon and measure the diameter of your coil, you Kustomiser..

54mm on the scorcher coil in the grey

cant remember the red the shed is a 30 second walk from the computer and my short term memory is flogged

@@#%%$ where did these kids come from

ooooh I found a beer



Insulation tape around the coil is the go along with "Kustomising" of the mounting bracket

Just a thought I'm about to look into a similar conversion after all I've read here about the advantages, did you have to change/upgrade the ignition leads?

well you are just about to spend $$$ on getting better spark, why not go the extra and put new leads on as well.. Seems like a waste to leave old leads on....

Put a fresh motor in a couple of months ago, I recoed the stock dissy at the same time and did buy new leads but I wasn't sure if electronic dissys need bigger/heavier leads or not

Ah, the ones I got were different, you will have to ask the better informed bout that one.....

No, leads in good condition will be fine unless you go high energy and then it suposedly a different story but my FB is running old Mallory copper core wires with no probs

Thanks Craig,

I wasn't sure about which leads to use but you've cleared that up
Are you using the Pertronix conversion or the Scorcher?

Im running the scorcher its not cheap but you basicly end up with a brand new dizzy
