Hi, yes it does have the woodruf key, but there was some play. I am however now completely confused (easily done!). When I took the cam belt off, the camshaft sprocket mark was pointing at the TDC mark (top of the case). Both valves were closed. They are now both open, and to get to a position where...

After further investigation, I think I have found the problem. When turning the crank, sometimes the cambelt was not turning the bottom sprocket, and appeared to be stationary. This may explain not being able to get the timing correct. I removed the belt, and the bottom sprocket came off by hand, so...

The capacitors have exploded, and it looks prety nasty inside. I do not have a problem with replacing components, but what else do I need to be aware of that could mean that it is not worth repairing. The needle is stiff, and does not bounce back. Is there any reference material for rebuilding Vegli...

Thank you very much for your advice. I now understand regarding valve timing adjustment. Removing the crank pulley looks quite tricky, so will leave well alone unless I run out of options.

I will check the valve timing again, following the correct procedure.

I have been messing around with my timing wheel a bit more. If I have been doing it correctly, I have found the following: Inlet opens at approximately 24 Degrees before TDC, it should be 12 Degress for a Strada. Exhaust opens 70 Degrees after TDC, it should be 42 Degrees before BDC. Providing it is...

I managed to get the magnet off using the 'allen key' method someone else suggested.
Are there any obvious issues?

Does anyone know where I can get the cupped washer?

I tried to remove the maget (centre part of the pickup, but it is very tight to the shaft. The previous owner did not use the cupped washer, so the aluminium is now crimped onto the threads: pickup (1).jpg That would explain why the magnet looks damaged, someone has levered it off previously? How do...

Thank you for your replies. I have checked the rotor, it has the 7mm iron strips, so appears to be the correct pick-up and magnet combination. I have not had the engine appart, and only owned it for a couple of months. How do I check / adjust the cam timing? When the engine is at 6000rpm, the marks ...

Yes, I positioned the flywheel approximately where the timing light is showing it when at full advance. I cannot get it any nearer the engine marking than that. I am assuming the pick-up middle is keyed to the shaft, so there is no adjustment there? Not sure how I can get the ANT line and engine mar...

I finally got around to checking the ignition timing. My bike has a NLM Transducer, coils and a red pickup. I set the pickup correct with the arrow as a starting point, and then checked it with a timing (strobe) light. I could not get the timing mark to line up, the mark on the flywheel was about 25...

Another vote for Cycplus, but I use the M2. Also bought a nice bracket for it. Got to love AliExpress.

Thank you for the pictures. I have not had time to take it apart yet. Here is my £10.00 rev counter to keep me going until I do:

You have got the NLM ignition system on your bike. Well, at least part of it. The bits in your picture are usually ok, it's the trigger part on the camshaft that can be awkward to set if you have that part as well. Regards George Thank you George, very helpful. I have found the instructions in the ...
