  • This video shows how Ande at Barrington Motor Works sets up the magneto ignition system for a /3 or /2 motor.
    The ignition system operates when two magnets generate a current by means of rotating on the end of the cam shaft. The magneto system is timed to energize the coil and produce a spark at a particular time.
    Setting up your magneto ignition components correctly will ensure the motor fires at the correctly timed moment. Each component has a function and if set properly the ignition will produce a properly timed, strong spark.

    I have a friend with a 63' R60/2 and the advance unit "seems" fine and the weights expand out with revs and return BUT,,, the timing light shows ZERO advance,,,, thoughts ???

    Are there any videos on how to remove the magneto rotor ?

    Do those newer plastic covered coils work better than the original style?

    • @BarringtonMotorWorks
      @BarringtonMotorWorks  5 років тому

      They sure do! They are fall more resistant to breakdown than the original canvas and resin models. The Emerald Island coils really are the best coil around these days.

      @@BarringtonMotorWorksGreat video! The blue coil has an additional ground wire, where are you attaching it? It looks like either on the coil mount or somewhere on the backside?
      Thanks

    Hi, when you say hash mark, do you mean the line scribed on the inside of the hole? Also, have you made the other videos yet only I cannot see anything. Thanks from the UK

      I usually start at .40mm...but I will reduce it to 0.35mm if needed.

    Where do I get a blue ignition coil like that??

      If you are in the USA, I would recommend Ted Porter at The Beemer Shop in CA. If outside USA, I would recommend Salis BMW from the Netherlands.

    Andy have you made your other Dynamic timing and static timing videos?

    • @BarringtonMotorWorks
      @BarringtonMotorWorks  4 роки тому

      Not yet, sir. I am waiting for another motor build so that it is easier to see than when the bike is in the frame. Hopefully soon!

    • @100Milllion
