Re: Ignition rotor

Hi Rick,
I'm interested in the NLM ignition. Could you let me know if it's still available please?
Thanks

Re: Can timing

Thanks guys, the timing on mine was quite simple really, line up flywheel marks at TDC cylinder 1, dot on cam pulley on TDC, there is no dot on the crank pulley.

Re: NLM ignition won't light strobe

Hi 3potjohn, I've just successfully strobe timed my wife's 3 1/2 Strada with an ancient Gunson strobe. We're running a NLM set up, with non resistor plug caps and copper core HT lead. The strobe gives a clear sharp flash. I have the pickup gaps at 2-3 thou. Hope this helps, Ski.

Re: Misfire under power

That looks like the nlm "performance!" pick up to me - I think there is information on it in somewhere in the library - if you can't find it I am sure I have a copy of the instruction set up somewhere. Duncan Hi Dunk, I would appreciate a copy of the set up instructions please. I've prove...

Strada woes

Hi folks, our Strada is still misfiring under load. Substituted ignition rotor , pickups and transducer, fitted new plugs and HT leads, checked valve clearance and adjusted, ultrasonically cleaned carbs, checked cam timing, wiring connections etc etc. I'm slowly going mad. Has anyone swapped carbs f...

Can timing

With no marks on the crank pinion how do you check cam timing ? The crank flywheel Woodruff key lines up with the punch mark on the crankcase, is that about right?

Re: Misfire under power

Bugger, replaced NLM system with black morini pickups and matching transducers. Same problem.☹️ . Valve clearance check tomorrow, new ht leads, cam timing, anything else I can think of.

Re: Misfire under power

So, does anyone have one of the pickups I can at least borrow or buy to prove this is the problem please? We're looking at Mdina part number 46.05.65 model no M460565 to replace the whole assembly , if this is correct for a 1974 Strada.

Misfire under power

Hi folks, Bev bought a Strada 8 months ago and we haven't been able to get it running properly since. Initially it had a charging problem which Benji diagnosed as incorrect wiring. I connected it correctly so charging was restored. Rev counter wasn't working so I disconnected the loom to the RC. Ult...
