Re: China Girl Timing and ignition System Modifications!
No It won't be a secret long.I'm just raping up some loose ends!,And taking pics.
What I will tell you is that it has to do with modifing the magneto and the magnet to be more efficient= more POWER and modifing the magnet so that you will be able to retard or advance it as much as you want! Plus Plus the whole thing will be better balanced to boot!
How can you beat that!
Believe me I'm probably more excited about this than you are so stay tuned!

Re: China Girl Timing and ignition System Modifications!
Here's some pics I'll explain them later.Gotta go.
Ok,I'm back.
First pic.The magneto,White wire cut off to eliminate interference and the blue wire replaced with a heavier 16 ga wire,.
The curved "pickup" part of the magneto has been filed smooth and polished,The windings and the magneto frame has been insulated to reduce interference.
Second pic.Inside the case with the magneto and magnet removed.
That black round thing is the crank bearing seal
Third pic.That round white thing covering up the bearing seal is a 1/16" nylon washer.
That washer isolates the bearings from the magnet,which helps keep the bearings from doing weird things as the magnet rotates,.And keeps more power in the magnet to produce more power.
The forth pic.Those are 4=Modified, M4x30mm Socket head Cap Screws.
They replace the stock screws.
The relief is for a standoff nut.
The standoff nut raises the magneto so that the magnet is centered in the frame of the magneto=more dirrect=better current flow.
The fifth pic.Is the magneto installed with the standoff in place. Kip.

Re: China Girl Timing and ignition System Modifications!
Some more!
First pic.These are .035 spacers,to space the magnet in the magneto frame providing an even gap=better current flow.
Second pic is the bottom front cover screw boss,of the case,clearanced so that magneto frame could move for gapping magneto and magnet.
Third pic is the magnet location at TDC.Sorry couldn't get a good pic.
More to come!Kip.

Re: China Girl Timing and ignition System Modifications!
If you are trying to alter the rotational timing of the magnetic fields with those L shaped pieces of wire, I am assuming that the wire is MIG welding wire, copper coated steel naturally, as solid copper wire would not transfer the magnetic lines of force.
I like where you are going with this!

Re: China Girl Timing and ignition System Modifications!
I'd really like to see a 'before & after' test of how much difference all this will make?

Re: China Girl Timing and ignition System Modifications!
I measured the I.D. of the magneto"pickup" surface and the magnet and there was about .070 difference so the .035 welding wire fit the bill.
The magneto would have to move backwards toward the drive sprocket about 1/8" in order for it to be concentric with the magnet.,I might slot the mounting holes to do this.Kip.

Hi,GearNut.That's all they are,. Shims for "trying" to even out both sides of the magneto frame.

Re: China Girl Timing and ignition System Modifications!
Do you see under my join date where it says Location,Sanford,Maine.
I'm up to my bung hole in snow!
There might be a before and after.After the snow's gone but not any time soon!
And don't even think about rubbing it in that it's like 80 and humid in Cal.
I will hunt you down.Kip.

Re: China Girl Timing and ignition System Modifications!
So far so good, Kip, with the exception that a thin 'gasket' of nylon won't really insulate the magnetic field. It would take a lot more than that. Is your theory that the mag field somehow effects the bearings? How and to what extent?
Keep working and when the snow's gone, let us know what happens.

Re: China Girl Timing and ignition System Modifications!
I was actually thinking the 'before & after' test would just be starting the engine & testing the new power output of the magneto; (not actually test riding it.)
Also, "yes" it's about 74 degrees & sunny today & we're going for a ride! (sorry)

Re: China Girl Timing and ignition System Modifications!
Gotta effect the bearings some how and it can't be for the better, they are steel! Don't know?
PS that nylon washer is .0625 thick.Kip.

Your right Tom.But you have to admit it works 100% better than the one that's there from the factory!
