If it was the timing it would kick back all the time. I have not the time to mess with it much right now. To busy getting a lot of deck refinishing before fall. Got to many fall type things to do. Capt,n

Thanks for the info. I think I may know what my issue is now but will have to try it to confirm, but will have to wait till I get another ign as the one I had I ended up replacing an ign that failed on my a couple days ago. Looking at the info it may not be the hall sensor like I was thinking.

Can the timing be different from one pick-up sensor to another brand of even the same brand.? After all it is one of the parts that determine when the spark will occure. Thanks capt,n

Timing will vary a little sensor to sensor. The component has tolerances and the one RCEXL uses has the widest range of all of them.

Are failures of the RCEXL that common? I thought mine died, but it was bad hall sensor wiring. I even took the cover off and observed a great big spark inside the box. I thought it was dead for sure after that, but it still works.

Now back to post 99...I still have no answer where to get a magnet for my DLE30????<hr />THIS PART A REPOST #99

ORIGINAL: gkamysz

All hall efect sensors sense a magnet pole. The response (output) to the magnet pole depends on the type of sensor. A unipolar sensor like RCEXl uses responds to either pole depending on the orientation of the sensor itself. You have the correct sensor. It's very unlikely, but possible, the magnet you have is magnetized incorrectly.

OK, I just reread your posts, and see that your magnet is chipped. Replace it. A chipped or cracked magnet creates another set of magnet poles in the magnet.

Very interesting....maybe this would explain why sometimes my DLE30 would kick back bad. It seems like the only thing that helped....was to have the ignition battery at top charge...and I mean top...like full off the charger!

Next question is where do I get a magnet the exact size or replacement?????? Capt,n

Use whatever you can get. I use flat magnets epoxied into a slot in the hub.

Just got done cutting more grass...I wish it would stop growing! I left the computer running again. What is the engine you have in the photo? Looks nice & is that a square magnet? Where do you get them? Thanks Capt,n

This is where I get my rare earth magnets for holding stuff on the airplane and for the occasional ignition. They have all sizes and they are cheap. The last time I ordered I got a bunch of different sizes for less that $20.

I used to be able to get them at Radio Shack but the last time I went to my local RS they had been discontinued. May still be some in older Radio Shacks.

The engine in the picture is an Enya 46-4C. The magnet is 5x4x1mm. I buy mine at http://www.supermagnetman.com/ A thicker one may give you more distance to the sensor.

LOL. Ours has slowed right down to where it almost seems like it is not growing. But that means that winter (snow and cold) are comming this way soon (Nov). [sm=what_smile.gif]
