Morning Gents and Ladies,
I have been thinking on a few problems on the BT-H over the past few weeks and now I have solved the problem of starting the bike, I thought I would note some issues I have come across and wondered whether anyone else has found any undesirable design issues?
First problem I had with the twin spark variant for a Comet was that the extension for the coil mountings, meant that the outer ignition coil was fitted "through" the magneto cowl. Picture of mounting tab below:
I then cut-down the tab to that which I believe is the standard size for a single spark model and refitted the inner coil and confirmed the magneto cowl now fitted:
Using some stainless sheet I have in the workshop, I made an "L" tab of 3/4" x 3/4" (or there abouts, I didn't make any notes) and fitted the second coil to the front of the BT-H and this now allowed the magneto cowl to fit:
I did have to extend the wires to the second coil, I also had to fit flag terminals to the wires to prevent the wires chaffing the spring and mechanism of the prop stands.
