Timing problems on the 450 Bomber
royhall:
Just wondering what triggers the sensor's. It looks like the standard points cam is left on. Is that correct. Every EI that I have ever dealt with, the centre cam on the advancer is changed for a magnetic trigger supplied with the kit. Don't understand that at all. Maybe why you have no spark as there's nothing to trigger the sensors. But then, maybe it's designed that way, and only Common Motors can answer that one. But I guess it's lighting the led's so it must be triggering but heaven only knows how.
Looks from their website that no rotor is supplied in the kit. Another thought, is the battery fully charged and the rectifier working okay. They have those horrible selenium rectifiers that tend to fail.
Also, according to the website you have no warranty unless you fit their regulator/rectifier.

Yes, just uses the std cam and shows cleaning, lubrication of the advance mech etc in the yt clip.
With the leds changing status it would appear to be switching the circuit as required as they just indicate status visually to help setup.

Guessing at "Hall effect" from proximity of ferrous presence of cam peak.
Interestingly they can only be fitted in one direction (there's an arrow on the face, facing the cam lobe) and he says they won't work backwards.
mo goldie:
yes it all light up and go`s out on each light be it the blue or the Green so it must be triggering just not getting the spark at the plugs.
they still Not got back to me yet :(
will put some pictures on later to just show a bit more I hope.
Oh ..wish I had got the one you got Roy seems a lot better as No extra modules just the ones on the plate ha.
