    3W-100 Looking for some advice

    Tollitson carb or Walbro either one probably needs a new rebuild kit after sitting so long. Pull the reeds and make sure they are ok and seating properly and have not become stuck. Inspect the plug boots and caps for wear, corrosion, deterioration. Inspect the spark plugs( I would use a fresh...

    DA 120 with onboard Tach.

    Yes you are correct. DA engines hub magnet has the south pole facing up. When inserting the semiconductor in to its housing make sure it faces it correctly by having the face which has the beveled sides facing the magnet. Study the picture.

    DA 120 with onboard Tach.

    Le me make sure I understand you. "You want to input the available tachometer connection on a Rcexl ignition module via direct connection to your t-1000 rpm input connection?" If that is the case I say do not do it because you are going to feed ignition battery voltage to the t-1000.

    DA 120 with onboard Tach.

    No. The DA Induction pick up is left in place on the top of the crank case shaft housing and a Hall sensor (semiconductor) pick up is mounted underneath the crank case shaft housing. There are drilled and tapped holes there just like on top so mounting it is easy.

    DA 120 with onboard Tach.

    @orthobird did you properly install the correct resistor? I do not use telemetry but the tach works flawless on my set up. Another concern would be that your semiconductor is facing "down and not up" in relation to the polarity of the magnet in the DA engine hubs. The semiconductor used in the...

    DA 120 with onboard Tach.

    From my understanding "muttdog" simply plugged the "available" male plug from the Y "adaptor" to the t-1000 using an "adaptor" he made. One end was a standard female connector and the other was a "rst" connector that plugged in to the t-1000. So swapping your JR connector to a rst so it plugs in...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    That toy rider car in your picture brings back some good memories of a funny Christmas vid my ex-wife did of our oldest son's reaction on Christmas morning. When played in FF mode it was hilarious to watch him run around it, in it, on it, over it, under it!lol.
