Desperately looking for a clock wise flywheel for a KT100 flywheel tapered
the bottom end is turned around puts the magnets in the wrong spot I thinkYou can leave the key out and time it where you want.
North , South - magnetic poles of the magnets , make no difference ?The magnets are relative to the keyway if you leave the key out, the keyway becomes irrelevant. Then you put the magnet leading edge relative to the leg on the coil with the piston at TDC. Measure where the magnet is now with the piston at TDC, take the key out then copy the measurement in the opposite rotation on the other leg of the coil.
Did you remember to turn your piston around too?
Sundog
Sundog so you have personally done it and no issues ?Won't work below the equator.
I know this thread is dead but I want to clarify what you said for the archives. Yes it worked but that’s because the rotor wasn’t tapered. The crank was straight where the rotor mounted so that when you changed rotation you put it back on so that the leading magnet was the same in either rotation. North-South stayed the same. I actually made a taper mount one work by machining a new taper from the back side. It met the original taper in the center and without a key I made it work either rotation.The old straight shafts we had cut both ways, always worked.......
