Rotax single timing

[@morrron5]

i had to pause to say thank you ! this is BY FAR the best toturial/explanation on timing. Super easy to understand, again, thank you !

[@jasonmunsey5250]

Thank you this video helped me time my 1971 rotax 335, back to the trails

[@brentneves3602]

Very good video, very good set up, valuable information that im going to need when I put my 335 rotax back together, I was worried about adjusting the points and proper alignment of the stator plate, but not any more. Thank you very much

[@stevenwithanS]

I came here because of a 335 as well.

[@geoff8253]

I have very little experience setting points and I was able to follow this video. This was very clear and understandable. Thank you so much. Another great video 👍🏼

[@Rotttman]

You're a good teacher.

[@mr.goofus5751]

Probably a less accurate shortcut: I determine TDC by observing the piston through the spark plug hole. Mark a white line somewhere on the housing adjacent to the flywheel and another on the flywheel so they line up. Connect an automotive timing light to the spark plug lead (spark plug out but clamped to the cylinder head) and to a 12 volt battery. Spin the motor with a cordless drill and see how the marks line up when the light flashes on them. The mark on the flywheel should land a bit before the one on the housing, about 4 degrees. The motor does not spin fast enough to activate the advance cam.

[@patrickmorin7693]

While you were so well setup for it, it says in the service manual 0012 end gap measurement between internal coil and magnets on the mag. Best spark with blue flame.

[@jasonmunsey5250]

Hey can ya show us how to set point gap?

[@davidwickhamrc3899]

Thanks for the good advice. Where did you get your flywheel tool

[@donaldfisher8556]

Hi, stumbled onto this super information channel. This is great! Not everyone knows how to time these motors. I knew a light or buzzer was needed and have assembled one now myself. I have what I think is a 71 250 Elan. No VIN plate. The ignition coil is under the flywheel. Your in Canada, do you have a recommended source for parts? Thank you

[@Armilite1]

Excellent Video! Any chance of a Points to CDI Conversion for the old Rotax Singles?

[@jacquescomtois1131]

very good info thanks for that

[@patrickmorin7693]

I really appreciate your video. The camera person could have made more zoom ins and it would have made it perfect. Thanks!

[@Rockstar-lx2li]

In regards to the external ignition coil what read should I expect of I were to check mine with a multimeter?.. what's the ideal reading?.. thank you

[@justinbown5776]

Can you tell me where to buy the timing gage and thing that holds it

[@pitbikehype5281]

How did you do the elan in the back? Could you explain the process a bit

[@justinbown4463]

Where can I buy a gage the same as yours with all the parts I want to make the same rig to rebuild my own engine

[@beryean1366]

Is timing only for older elan engines?

[@pro-action8899]

Wowww Good job

[@mattprice37664]

Too damn bad you don’t have a video for everything I tinker on!

[@flyer0818]

Thanks for the video. I have a 503 with the CDI Ignition. Could you show us a shade tree way of timing those systems?

[@GaWajn]

Sorry bud ... I can't help you there, I only do the antiques with the breaker points ignition systems.

[@ricardodeleon2625]

dave flyer. So if you have coils you dont have points

[@patrickmorin7693]

dave flyer Don’t know for sure cause the spring tension cam needs to be replicated for various load demands. Full out racing you could set at 160 but I am not sure if it would ever start up.

[@stevenbaker9327]

Yep...may years of doin it in dealerships in the 60's- 70's. Nobody has a clue about points adjustment or timing these days!

[@jamesstirrat8388]

I have an Elan single 247cc in NB, and checking if you can time it and check it for me. No spark, and I added a number of new parts. How can I get in contact with you thanks.

[@Gearheadtom]

Did you ever get it fixed? I'm near Fredericton and can have a look at it.

[@choppergirl]

Well, thank god all these instructions were printed on the side of the engine, or I would of never figured it out...

[@09pierrex]

Thank you sir

[@curtnason3068]

also wondering,if you set the points at 17 or16,will it run different

[@GaWajn]

I don’t think there would be much difference. The spec is between 14 and 18. Maybe someone else with real world experiences could chime in?

[@downhomer70]

@@GaWajn I have a 335cc single i could not time to the .230 spec with points gap set at .14,.15,.16,.17. i had to set at.18 max to get the timing and the motor runs perfectly.

[@stevenbaker9327]

Changing point gap.WILL change timing! Thats why you set your gap FIRST!

[@patrickmorin7693]

Did you paint the cab yourself? Primer sealer first then base and clear I am guessing?

[@GaWajn]

Yes and you guessed right

[@Vicsam7]

Hello there ! really nice Video ! thanks for uploading ! i have a few question tho ! im rebuilding my 299 12/3 and would like to check the Timing ! if i just rig a Light thats okay ? are all 299 12/3 timing advance is at 150-170 BTDC ? and what is your Flywheel/Magneto Puller you have ! looks to work nice ! thanks

[@GaWajn]

I would not know with just a light. I have never done it that way. Check your service manual for the correct spec for timing BTDC, but I think you are correct. That puller is the correct puller ... still available from Bombardier dealers.

[@orignalbuckaroo]

I have a 73 single 247, is the timing the same as this one ? At between 150-170 BTDCThank you

[@GaWajn]

+orignalbuckaroo between .147 and .167 BTDC if I recall correctly ... but check your manual.

[@downhomer70]

@@GaWajn you are correct

[@plsextremsport]

hello can i put 100watt mag of rotax 343 on my rotax 247? parle tu francais?

[@GaWajn]

+plsextremsport Je parle francais ... je ne sais pas pour le mag ... désolé

[@BRNcontracting]

I need one of them pullers, where could I get one, I have tried my local parts stores, is there a special name or configuration it is specified as?

[@GaWajn]

BRNcontracting still available at your local SkiDoo dealer

[@patrickmorin7693]

I wonder if you are still around cause no replies ?

[@weldermen]

Votre Ski Doo des Canadiens de Montreal es MALADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow!

[@patrickmorin7693]

Regarding your points comment « that’s all I’ll say about that » Well! Any collectors still put there who want original points, « Dream on » cause BRP sold the rights to Fullerton’s who now provide a Turquish équivalent only thru BRP outlets at $40 cdn a crack. No made in Germany stamp of coarse but they look alike and fit. Set at 16 you will be hard pressed to adjust at 150/170 BTC. A simple piece of angle iron bolted to the carb port much easier that this wooden setup. (what to do with it later like store it?).
