Re: B25 Negative crankshaft end float
I had this problem with my B50 the torque setting for the crank pin was to low, when it was torqued to spec it fitted perfectly.

Re: auto decompressor/valve lifter ???
I use the same technique as Mr Mike, it makes kicking over a B50 easy as there is no compression to kick through. It all happens with the momentom of the fly wheel.
The H*nda one I had used only released the compression on the first bit of movement of the kickstarter.

Re: auto decompressor/valve lifter ???
The manual decompressor gives the correct amount of decompression and crooect piston placement before kicking it over

Re: B25 Rough Running..missing slightly
That is the major failing of the cheap pazon and maybe some others as idle revs drop so does the advance which lowers the revs and so on.
So a healthy idle speed is a good think in this case. You pays your money and gets the technology for the price.

Re: Cooked battery
The secret to lithium batteries is the bms it comes with, the bms does all the regulation and balancing.
I have a lithium starter battery in my ute and it cranks it a lot faster than the lead acid battery. It sit around 13.6V when stopped.

Re: Cooked battery
I have found that the podtronic charges at 14.5V which is higher than the Zenor. Using the headlights seems to help a bit.
What other recregs do others use and what voltage do they regulate at??

I have never gotten the pazon thing. They work with no problem on a B50 If you use correct starting procedure. Just the same as people say they are hard to kick over, it is easier than my 250 kawa.

2 pickup coils 1 magnet = 2 sparks per rotation. When kicking the first detection livens up the electronic if it has gone to sleep, the second fires the plug.

Re: B44 - Vape Electronic Ignition
For electronic ignitions you set them to full advance which is 34deg for B50 then they retard at lower revs till they reach the full advance at their set revs. the magnet movement has no effect on this.

Re: B25 SS CV19 project
The condensor is redundant on electronic ignition. I change the capacitor for a smaller modern electroletic one, just in case the battery becomes disconected as mine did when it broke inside. Electronics arn't happy with varing voltages caused by rectified AC
