Silly question about 1150 motor, ignition.

[robinjo]

At the end of the crankshaft there is the part of the ignition that rotates along and sends pulses letting the ignition know when to fire.



Which way do I turn the Allen bolt that holds the part to loosen it





I definately don't wanna ruin that thread finding out later it is reverse thread. :roll:

Robin,

I can't speak specifically for the 1150, but on my 82 1100 it was a standard RH thread on that bolt. And it wasn't super tight, so if yours is stuck tight maybe try bumping it the other way a bit, just in case.

On my 1150 it's a standard thread.

Don't know whether or not this applies to every threaded fastener in the universe, but most of the reverse threaded hardware I've seen has a thin groove cut around the circumference of the hex-head. Almost makes it look like a pair of nuts threaded against one another on a bolt.
