Building the Minimag
<< < (7/19) > >>
Dean W:
It's all looking good, John.
I have to ask;  If you make more than one flat on the cam, will the mag be able to run more than one cylinder? 
I don't know about mags, so, just curious.  I'm sure someone else was dying to ask, so I'll play the silly one.  ; )
Bogstandard:
Dean,

Instead of modifying the magneto, rather than driving it at half crankshaft speed (for a single 4 stroke), I suppose you could up the gearing to give you more beats to each crank revolution and use a distributor to feed the extra cylinders.

could you not drill through from the outside and use a grub screw to hold the spaser with maybee a dimple to keep it in the correct place, not a fan of Locktite etc.

Peter,

Actually I am just following instructions, and if you had left your question to a little later, you will actually find that there are holes to be drilled thru the sleeve and main outer body and bits stuck down the holes that will in effect act like a grub screw to hold it in position.

The loctite, at this time, is only used to hold the spacer in the correct position until those holes are drilled.

Bogstandard:
Gents, if you don't mind, at this time, could you please leave questions for another couple of days, until the build is completed, then we can then discuss it forever if needs be.

Many thanks


John
