neon14 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 This is what I would do. Break the plastic away to expose the pins and solder straight to them. Then encapsulate them in silicone. Thats what I have done before. Then I would drink a beer. And I have also done that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiTech Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 ok mark ...got back on this thing ........cut the old plug off went with new pins on the crank sensor .. .fired right up .didnt before .. .....let it run till it started running bad again ...got under it put alittle pressure on the sensor and she would smooth right out .....take finger off .run bad or die .. i noticed the sensor lock down plate wasnt pushing up on the sensor tight....so i made a spacer dont ask how and where i put it ..seemed to work for awhile ..but the same old story ...the problems are at the sensor .....i have a new cover .im going to put on .and im going to get the owner to go buy a new gear and sensor ........has to be one of em ......boils down to it getting to much clearance from the sensor to crank ...aslong as i push it alittle into the cover .it will run ...so if anyone has seen this .which one is the problem ........or is it all three parts ..i saw no damage to that gear when i changed the chain ....

Ok, now here's the deal. Mark always has these really cool beers. Which I really enjoy. And I kind of feel bad when I offer him a beer from my ice chest because its always natty light.

4cylfordz Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I would replace just the plastic cover (should be changed anytime it is removed... says so right on the front of it.) look at the reluctor wheel when you get it apart and check it for any cracks or damage to the drive key. I don't think you can get it on there backwards but the pickup side goes to the front. there's not much that ever goes wrong with them, most of the time the only problem is that people forget to put them back in there . though you did say that you replaced the chain? and if so you did make sure the new timing set was the right one. because there is a thick set and a thin set. roughly .125 different.
