Here is a video of my FL. I know the timing is off just not sure the correct way to fiix the issue.

The only timing parts are the points and making sure your pawl is not sheered off. After that, it's all points adjustment. Loosen points adjust and then tighten. Rotate till that light dims as it hit's the "F" mark. I'm new to this as well, but the Manual and the homemade points timing light got me going.

My FL is a 83 so I don't have points because it is CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition)??? I think.

Oh, well that has to change things up. Sorry, my answer was for points ignition.

is this the same Engine from your post on april 16th?

The same. Still having issues.

When you advanced the timing did you turn the stator forward or backward.It should go backward.Did you try hooking the wire you hooked to the yellow wire to the black wire.

Only thing I can think of is the cam lobe on the magneto is on 180 deg out. This happend to me before when I put the cam lobe on the magneto. This was points system though and the timming light showed 180 out. If your Engine ran before and you have not messed with the lobe this this may not be your problem.

The light will not flash bright. Just light up some.

with you mods to the stator I really cannot help. It's way out of my league.

do you know the stator to be good ? have you got an ohm meter?

The way my stator was drilled out was to spin it forward or clockwise. I have it set on factory right now and it wont fire up.

I'm going to try the black wire now.

Ok here are pics.

Stator in place and on of stator.





You can see that the stator has been filed to be able to make adjustments.

Tried all the wires the green one just makes the lamp light up. The black and the blue wires do nothing when connected.

When spinning the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) the lamp dims several times and non are around TDC (Top Dead Center).

Post a pic of the inside of the flywheel please.

Does the cam lobe in the middle of the flywheel slide off on the CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) ones? If so slide it out and turn it around.

My points flywheel was like that making it 180 out. Not sure if the CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) flywheels are the same though. And by looking at it looks one peace. The points has the timming advance in the flywheel.

Are those cracks in the magnets?

Its one solid piece. The flywheel that is.

CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) and coil are at specs?

That's the right flywheel.

Got a closeup of the wire connections on the Stator, specifically the pulse coil? Blue wire, yellow stripe. Can't really see the connection in your pics.

Looks good, green wire connected to the stator plate?

Time to check each of the coils per the manual.

I'm at whits end this this thing. Yeah its connected. This CR conversion is a pain in the A**. Should have left it stock.

I just want to fix it and sell this thing now!

particularly the exciter coil mate

My stator only turns clockwise. The material was grinded way only in that direction.

the way you made the slots you will only retard timing and not advance. To advance timing the stator has to move oppisite flywheel rotation
