Alright I start out by saying, I have 3 clones, 2 Powerease by BE, those are 210, and 1 harbour freight/princess auto 196 clones. All 3 remain stock, with no governor modifications.
A few months ago we had a different clone, an ALL POWER 207cc engine, but that seized from lack of oil. I took all the salvageable parts, nuts and bolts from it.
Today I was bored, so I placed the new flywheel from the 196 clone Ontop of the 207cc flywheel. I found that when I lined up the key ways the old flywheels magnet was about an inch forward. I did alighn the flywheels so both solid sides were towards eachother. --->>> <<<--- like this. So the way I lined them up for the picture might make it hard to understand the different timing, but it was the easiet way to line up the keyways.
as you can see the keys are lined up as best I can. I will find some flat stock or somthing to put both flywheels on facing the same direction to accurately see the difference. All 3 engines also have threaded holes spaced 3 inches apart to add coils
If I use the old flywheel on the new 196, will the timing difference be to my advantage, or make it worse?
My next question, I have found some lighting coils on eBay from the seller ProvenPart. They are 9 dollars, and I'm unsure of how many amps they put out, but will be plenty to run a single light. If not, i could easily add a second coil and run them together to produce twice the power. By far the hardest thing to find is a charging flywheel. The only place I have found is nr racing, and no, I'm not paying 110 dollars plus shipping for 3 flywheels. My next thought would be to go to Canadian tire and order the flywheels from the Baja big bikes with lights. They probly have the same engine as these clones and should fit. I called Bajamotorsports and the price is 45 dollars for a lighting flywheel, but 3 times that price for shipping, would buying through Canadian tire be easier and cheaper??
I know your all thinking "ahhh another flywheel and lighting thread" well I have done about 3 days of searching, and think I found enough info but just curious about a few things.
