advance key better or worse?

[skinindustries]

I was surfin the net and found an advance key. Is this beter then a adjustable stator plate? They say it advances the timing be 3 degrees.

pros and cons..

 

PROS: NONE! other than advanced timing

 

CONS: they shear of easy and leave your ass stranded

 

PROS AND CONS OF A PLATE

 

PROS: keeps timing set good.., wont shear off and leave stranded.. and advanced timing up to +15

 

CONS: NONE

Its like this. The keys are $15 bucks, and the timing is set, it cant be adjusted. The plates are just 15 more. You can set your timing to anything. I use a +4 timing key. Bought it off the HQ for like 5 bucks. Ive never had a problem with one breaking. The offset is tiny.

keys are junk. by the plate and be done with it. you will need a flywheel puller to put either on. they can be bought for less than 15 bucks.

it looks like it would sheer off. ive had it happen to a jetski. it pushed the flywheel against the case because it got all gamed up ended up blowing out a brand new top end. so i motor swaped a 650 to a 750 and i was happy. but i wouldnt do it. either mod your timing plate like i did or buy one there at most 15 bucks

Before I start, let me just say that I run a PD stator plate on my bike.

 

The theory behind the offset key is not too bad; as we all know, it is the taper and proper torque on the nut that holds the flywheel in position, and the key is just supposed to index the flywheel blah blah. I fully agree with that.

 

However, if the $15 key interferes with the fit and the required "push-up" of the flywheel onto the shaft, then shit's gonna happen.

 

We have been using a taper fit for our key-less propellers in 100 000HP applications for at least the last 20 years on our container ships.

 

I say, index the flywheel using a protractor and leave the key out, IF (and that's a big IF), the tapers are correct and matched, the "push-up" of the flywheel onto the shaft will keep the flywheel in the correct position.

 

Fire at will! hehehe
