After sorting out the SF2 's ignition woes last weekend ( it was wet) I decided to fit the Sachse electronica ignition to my 500, all has gone together very simply with no problems other Than I might need some NGK 5 ohm resistance plug caps.
Needless to say, it didnt run after fitting, followed the instructions, did the spark test, checked continuity, all good.
After reading another post on here (anyone that's fitted a Saches will understand what I mean) It states that you find TEC on the left cylinder, line the S mark on the rotor to the top stator the light comes on, and then turn the rotor anti clockwise until the N mark lines up with the stator, the light goes out, then tighten the grub screws and all should be good.
Well, for some reason the last part of that totally eluded me, it didnt matter how many times I reread the instructions, a form of blindness or word dyslexia prevented me seeing and understanding the last important detail.
Anyway, now better informed I attempted to turn the rotor to its correct position last night, but it's reluctant to spin easy.
I have read from other posts that Red Cawte (Redax) suggests drilling 2 small holes in the rotor, with which to hold the rotor firm or turn it using long nosed pliers or circlip pliers.
My question is where is the best position to drill the holes, at the top of the shoulder on the rotor or somewhere on the larger flat area which holds the magnets? it's probably fairly irrelivent but I don't want to cause any unnecessary imbalance in the rotor.
