Stator Question

[Doom Patrol]

Are original points stators crank specific? Or to put it another way can a Motoplat points stator be used with GP crank and flywheel?

I used a Motoplat on an Italian LI some years back- no problems- cracking output as well!

Don't think you can use them on GP set up

That's what I was thinking of. Phenomenal spark.

That's a pity. Is that because of compatibility issues with the crank?

[cit205]

Think so, though not 100% sure, just pretty sure i've asked this before and was told. So keep asking around in case i'm wrong :bigsm:

I have a complete (working) 12v Motoplat electronic setup including crank you can have.

It won't cost you an arm and a leg just either.....

Such a pity the motoplat electronic off a lynx does not fit a GP crank. My old electronic lynx was such a great starter and the power produced through the lights was excellent

That's what mine is off - didn't fancy running the kitted engine with an LI crank.

could you not put a gp boss onto the motoplat flywheel ? or does the motoplat boss have enough meat for it to be machined to fit the gp taper ?

[Doom Patrol]

The Motoplat boss is a strange wee beastie and no rivets were harmed in the making of it. It's cast into the flywheel.



I think this style is generally regarded as being a bad idea. But then it's lasted this long.

Thanks for the offer John. A 12v Motoplat stator is tempting, but isn't the flywheel supposed to be very heavy?
