After about 12 months I dug my megajolt out of the cupboard. Couldn't remember where I go to, so re-tested all the voltages & all was okay. Fitted the IC's & connected it to my PC & power source on the bench, the LED does not light up but there is 4.98V across the terminals of it. The KP...

Thanks Ken

Spoke to the guy who produces these & you're exactly right, the bottom picture is how he described it, you use the washers to get the gap correct.

Alan...

Thanks guys I thought that was the case, but the kit came with no instructions. There is a spacer plate but without it the pickup is too close. Maybe it isn't a spacer but an extra support & it goes the other side of the bracket & a washer will give the correct clearance. I'll try to have an...

Bought a toothed pulley & mounting bracket off ebay for the A-Series engine. Got round to fitting it today but concerned the pickup is too far away from the teeth, in hindsight I should have measured the gap, but for reference the nut is a 10mm http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j81/gsx550es/Mega...

Yep, certainly does

OT does the Kent 286 have advantages over the standard MG Metro cam?

Klas,

Tried to download thsis map just to see what it's like, not up & running yet but it fails to load I get the following error.

Failed to load Ignition Configuration

Could not read configuration file: Malformed data on line 0 (MJLJ)

Might be me, but the file might be corrupted.

I dropped a trigger ring & pulley off the other day to have a step machined in the pulley to accept the trigger ring. When I dropped it off I asked them to align the missing tooth at TDC. Then I started thinking that if i couldn't fit the VR sensor at exactly 90 degrees i would be stuffed. So I ...

Just looked at the KAD one found it in another post, you're right £160 plus postage is expense, I turned my nose up at £129 including postage from Specialist Components. Mini pulleys is on £38 with bracket another £38. Seen the Trigger Wheels one as well but they have to be welded to an existing pul...

Alex,

Can I ask what you have done about your trigger wheel, I was going to get one machine by www.mini-pulleys.com but can't get any response from them.

Alan...

Thanks again Brent for the hand holding, all the 5V's were spot on, just got to work out what to do next LOL

Alan...

Build complete, NO SMOKE!!

Last question on this bit, I'm sure many many more to come Once complete voltage across IC1 is now down to 10.81V is this acceptable & am I worrying too much

Alan...
O/T hope the rest of the rear axle stripdown went okay.

Brent do you live on t'interweb LOL

Alan..
p.s. Thanks

Using a 30W iron is that suitable sorry if it's a dumb question but as I say this is all new & quite exciting to me, especailly if it all works. Done the next section & tested voltages, all the same so tomorrow I will install the active components (MAP). Just got to sort out a pully, it's go...

Thanks I will continue with the adventure

Alan...

My kit arrived the other day & I've started to put it together, never done any electronics at all before. Soldered the first few items as per the HowTo & then have checked the voltages. I am using an AT PC power supply which is putting out 11.69 volts, all the 5.0V are correct but across IC1...
