mofoka Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 I have a plan to move the timing pickup over without removing the flywheel or any plate modification. Has anyone tried this? Here is my extremly accurate MS paint example of what i'm planning on doing. Quote

J-Madd Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Seems like a lot of work, compared to buying or modifiying a plate. But I say go for it. Quote
BigRed350x Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 Just buy the adjustable plate off ebay or someone here. lot easier. Quote
mofoka Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Posted October 7, 2008 Just buy the adjustable plate off ebay or someone here. lot easier. I'm sure it would be but I like ghetto rigging sh!t. My assumption is that it shouln'd take more than an hour if it bolts on the first try. As soon as I can get to the shop I'll get on it. Quote
Snopczynski Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 How far are you going to move it? To get 4 degrees out of the pickup, it wont even be close to bolting up back on the screw holes that are there. I would guess you might get 1.5 degrees out of it. Its not worth mangling the steel for mounting the pickup though. Quote

Its not worth mangling the steel for mounting the pickup though. Do you know if it is 1 degree per mm? I think that is what I was told prior. If it is because the pickup is closer than the outer edge I should be able to move it just more than 3mm to get +4. Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 with all due respect, i think this idea is fucking retarded. this is even dumber than using a degree key. Quote
mofoka Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Posted October 7, 2008 with all due respect, i think this idea is fucking retarded. this is even dumber than using a degree key. That is awesome... with all due respect...LOL There is some good feed back and to the point. I love it. I got the idea from the trininty plate, it is the same way they adjust the timing by moving the pickup instead of the whole plate. Anyone have the trinity plate? Quote
Snopczynski Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 If trinity was worth a damn, everyone wouldn't hate them. The slot on the timing plate is about 1.25" long and only adjust out 10 degrees. On a standard timing plate that adjusts off the mount, the slot is like 1.25" long and adjust 20 degrees total. The closer you are to the center of the flywheel, the less slot distance you need to adjust for more timing. So use a regular plate. If you get a standard adj plate you dont even have to take the flywheel off to adjust it after you initially install it. Quote
NYUK Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 slot the holes on the stock plate. they can be slotted enough to give you+ 4. you will strip the pick up coil bolt holes fucking with them too much. Quote
deckheight Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 I believe it is about 1.25mm at the inside of pickup. Kinda splittin hairs but .25mm adds up fast... Do you know if it is 1 degree per mm? Quote
278 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 I have to agree with NYUK. If your against buying an adjustable plate then just slot your stock plate holes. Its way easier than trying to move the pick up, and it saves you from possibly ruining the plate Quote
dajogejr Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 I have the cheapo RS timing plate and I can adjust it without removing the flywheel... Open end 10mm wrench... I like the trinity idea, and 10 degrees of timing advance (-5 to +5 I assume) is fine for Joe Average trail rider....but not enough for the racers... I'll be getting rid of my RS Plate and getting a billet chariot plate in the next few months.... Quote
