Gentelmen,
In mounting my brand spanking new Brisson 5.8 with electronic ignition, the wire lead that goes to the magnet on the flyweel simply fell out. Other than sending back to Kangke for repair, any suggestions on how to secure it back. The pictures show a small balck screw in the nylon flyweel. This screw just barely touches the end of the lead to hold it in. Obviously, it does not do a good job of this. The end of the lead is a medium hard rubber. Can I epoxy it back in place? Will the epoxy hold? Thanks.

Epoxy will hold, so will silicone...Don't let the end hit the hub, about 1/32 away will work well..

Thanks for the info. I like the silicone idea.

Well, I tried the silicone and it held for a while before it wouldn't stick anymore. The nylon ring that the lead goes into is that real smooth to-the-touch stuff and I don't think anything will stick to it for very long. What do you guys think about pulling the lead out of the nylon, drilling a hole through the nylon housing at a perpendicular angle to the hole that the lead goes in to, and then tapping the hole for a set screw? Then I can put the lead back in place and tighten the set screw until the lead is firmly secured? Thoughts?

'Bout time you showed up[8D]

Not sure on that engine but I believe the little black hex button head screw on the face of the nylon/delrin(sp?) timing ring is supposed to serve that purpose?

Check the date on Herby's post...

Got it. Didn't see it before.

Mark,

You're idea of bring the sensor in from the back could work well as long as you have the sensor oriented correctly. The air gap between the magnet and the sensor needs to be pretty close, say no more than 3/32". That will make drilling the hole a little trick. Re-timing the engine is easy since it's likely the sensor will be relocated. Looks like you have a syncro spark ignition since you can't see any advance rods in the picture.

Thanks for the advise, Pat. How would I re-time the engine if necessary?

Mark, I had the same problem and used Household Goop available at Home Depot or Lowes. It has much better hold power than silicone glue and the sensor can still be removed in the future.

It's pretty obvious the timing ring is built wrong. The black screw should hold the the sensor in place, but make it replaceable when needed. Why not just call Kangke and have them send out a new timing ring?

I agree. The timing ring must have been drilled wrong because the hold down screw barely makes contact with the sensor. The ring appears to be held down by a set srew on the perimeter of the ring.

Can you give instruction on how to remove the timing ring? I see a set screw on the perimeter of the ring but I am having a hell of a time trying to get the screw out.
