Default Making a universal timing bracket

Here is a good method to make a universal timing bracket using Rcexl ignition

It can be used with most any engines that has a round front crankcase from 1” to 1 ¾” with out having to drill and tap holes for threads.

3W- DA- ZDZ or if you are converting a chainsaw or weed whacker engine.

All it takes is a 5/16 stainless steel hose clamp, some heat shrink and Rcexl ignition with sensor and sensor bracket.

Check to get the polarity right and install the sensor in the bracket.

Install it on the engine, Set engine up for 28 deg before top dead center, Hook up battery and plug to the ignition and rotate the clamp counter clock wise from the front of the engine until you see a spark, Tighten the clamp with a ¼” nut driver and you are ready to go.

Good idea you have Milton. It beats just running the clamp up and over the housing. Very neat looking. That would work well for those that do not have the ability to drill and tap new holes as a permanent setup.

Yep, that is the idea for the DIY and do not have the tools or want to drill and tap there engines.

When I convert them for customers I drill and tap threads to relocate the sensor, Some of the times I only have to do it for one screw.

Below is a picture of a Horner 180cc I did for customer and only had to drill and tap one hole, Could use one of the existing holes. The black screw you see was put in one of the existing holes just to make sure there was no air leaks from it.
