Trigger wheel

That's exactly what I'm trying to do.

Where did you source your trigger wheel and how did you fit it - and did you rebalance after?

Many thanks

Gav,

Iain's system looks very similar to my own.

(Iain - I would be very interested to know where you sourced the sensor bracket as that is exactly what I need?)

Back to Gav - my trigger wheel came from Trigger-wheels.com. I just asked for a wheel to work with an Edis 4 and it does the job perfectly, cost around ?18.

Fitting was quite simple. I drilled and tapped 4 equally spaced holes on the back of the Burtons pulley and fixed the trigger wheel using countersunk cap-head allen screws with loctite. I also machine the pilot hole out so that the wheel was a snug fit on the shaft of the toothed pulley

I'm no engineer but I would have thought that any imbalance introduced by the trigger wheel would be negligible. My engine had received a full dynamic balance and it spins up like a sewing machine with the trigger wheel fitted.

I hope this helps

hi guys
both the trigger wheel and sensor bracket I machined up as I couldn't find anything off the shelf that would fit neatly.
The trigger wheel is of a dia to match the timing marks to make set up easier. the pulley has been shortened slightly to line up the pulleys better. the trigger wheel is a sliding fit over the pulley seal dia and secured with 4 c'sk screws. When I had the new crank balanced the pulley didn't effect the balance

That's impressive - do you take on commissions?

Jon
If Iain doesn't, what size trigger wheel did you use and does the thickness matter?

Thanks again

Gavin
depends on time scale you are looking at

If I were to say the end of August might that work?
Thanks

"Do you happen to know the relationship of the woodruff key to TDC (or am I being ambitious)"

I've not had my degree disc on it but it looks in line with the journals for Nos 1 and 4,ie. TDC at the top.
