Re: Testing timing of Red Atom Modules

[joesnuffy]

That is a good question about the Nova’s 2s timing I haven’t tested them at all yet. I have run them on a 9.5hp and a 5.5hp with no knocking or unusual noises.

I have to test my home made Red Atoms on the water for timing at higher rpms. My main check so far were the firing when the points do at low rpms and they were. The flywheel I am using only has 2 magnets that are side by side with a small space between them. Not sure what configuration the magnets were on the motor you were running? I do know that on my 15hp 1956 Johnson it ran higher rpms with the home made Red Atoms than it did with points which is one of the reasons I am going to check it with the timing light once I build a better set of Red Atoms. I got a pair of the home made Red Atoms in my 33hp 1966 right now I will also check it at higher rpms.

I will report back on what I find. I still have a set of Nova 2s in my 9.5hp 1967 I will try and put it in the barrel soon and check its timing. I do know it sounded normal on the actual boat at high rpms and they weren’t excessive rpms.

Hope that helps,
Joe
