mount it as far away from the receiver as
possible, preferably on the motor box.

IV.) Hall Effects Sensor:
Chose the Sensor housing the best suits your engine
and determine the orientation of your magnet if
unknown. (fig. 2) Most seem to be a south
orientation. A quick way to determine the
orientation is connect the hall sensor to the ignition,
insert the plug and connect you power source.
Quickly pass the sensor over the magnet without
stopping over the magnet, this may damage the
sensor. If the plug doesn’t fire, flip the sensor over
and repeat.
Fig 2.
Insert fully the sensor into the sensor housing. Use
the supplied wedge to hold the sensor in its housing.
(fig. 3) Warning!! The wedge provides a one way
fit; make sure you have the proper sensor orientation
before inserting the wedge as it will be very difficult
to remove!

If you are going to attempt to use your existing hall
sensor, see (fig. 4) for the wire orientation. (Red +,
Black –, white signal)

V.) Timing:
Timing will vary from manufacture to
manufacture. Usually, 28° ~30° Top Dead
Center (TDC) is recommended.
Mount the Degree Wheel to the Crank
Shaft (fig. 5). Rotate the engine crankshaft
so the piston is set at TDC. This can be
ascertained by using a small wooden dowel
to make contact with the piston top thru the
spark plug hole. Rotate the crankshaft back
and forth to get TDC as close as possible.
For absolute accuracy, a dial indicator can
be used but not necessary.
Without moving the Crank, move the
Supplied Degree wheel so it reads 0
degrees TDC and lock it down.
Fig. 5
Turn the crankshaft clockwise (opposite to
the engine rotation) until the wheel reads
28 degrees.
Connect the Battery to the ignition insuring
that the Spark Plug is not in the cylinder.
Warning!! Avoid turning the engine over
with the ignition energized without the
spark plug being attached to the H.T. lead.
Failure to do so could damage the Hall
sensor pickup.
For Adjustable Magnet Rings:
Turn magnet fixed ring Counter Clockwise.
When you see the plug firing, stop and lock
down the ring, the correct ignition timing is
now set. (28o ~30o.) The plug will fire as
the magnet passes slightly past the Hall
Sensor, this is a normal condition.
For Fixed Hall Sensors:
Try to use your existing hall sensor
mounting holes, if this is a conversion you
will need to estimate the hall sensor
position and drill and tap your own. The
holes on the hall sensor housing are ovular
and allow for some adjustment.
4.) Trouble Shooting your Ignition.
I.) Battery:
Check the voltage on your battery and
make sure it’s healthy and fully charged.
