Hello,

Does anyone know where I can get a pickup coil for my 240? The wire has burnt on the old one.

Thanks Much!

Bill pye is your man. Get it off to him in a Jiffy bag with a cheque, he'll have it back in a week and it will be spot on

Thanks for the info. I am in the US. Does Bill have an e-mail address? So a pickup with the wire melted off can be repaired?

Thanks Much!

He does but its probably better to phone him. He fixed my 240 pickup coil 6 years ago and it has been perfect ever since. website is http://www.nickandka...o.uk/index.html

This was the coil I sent him:

Did the wire actually burn off or did the insulation just deteriorate? You can cut off and solder on new wire yourself if that's all it is.

OK, I sliced the wire almost at the pickup & got fire. Now when it fires, it shears the flywheel key(4 times). Anyone have an idea why it is shearing keys?

Thanks Much!

make sure the flywheel and crankend are lapped together correctly , and the keyway is only there to locate the flywheel , the flywheel is secured by the press/interference fit of the crank and flywheel with the proper torque on the nut. if it comes off without a puller something isn't fitting together correctly ...

Handbook with torque settings is here;

are the timing marks lined up?

That was it. I was not tightening the flywheel nut enough. I torqued it up & it kicked right off. Thanks to all for the info. Now to ride!

Axulsuv is spot on, the flywheel is fixed by a good fit on the taper. The key only locates it in the correct position. Glad you got it sorted though
