February 16, 200620 yr I have a Beta rev 3 (2002) can someone tell me the timing settings in Degrees from TDC. Just rebuilt bike - bike is four stroking at 1/2 revs, eliminated carburettor, as tried another, need to eliminate timing/ignition possibilities prior to jumping in and buying a new stator!!!!!!! Cheers Paul
February 16, 200620 yr If the stator is fitted in the middle of its adjustment slots,the timing will be close enough to eliminate the timing.Check it hasn't sheared the woodruff key on the flywheel.Stator problems can be anything from it not running at all to misfiring or not revving out,can you borrow a stator from another bike?,it needs to be the same year and cc.Don't jast buy another stator.they cost nearly
February 16, 200620 yr actually when mine did this I poned JLI and they were fine to post me the new stator and CDI unit to try and then send back what I didn't need. I was well impressed because it was actually my first time using them aswell. Bob
February 17, 200620 yr JLI are really helpful, they didn't charge me labour when they fitted my stator as I was having such bad luck with my bike
February 17, 200620 yr JLI are really helpful, they didn't charge me labour when they fitted my stator as I was having such bad luck with my bike <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Competent auto electrical workshops are usually able to rewind Rev 3 stators successfully and where I live it costs about half the price of a new stator from Beta. Rewind cost is approx $150AU ($110US). David Lahey
February 17, 200620 yr I've just had to do the timing on my 01 rev 3 because the woodruff key broke, i used the link wilsof left www.beta-uk.com/Technical/Ign00_02.JPG and it worked brilliant,so a big thanks from me for the link..
February 19, 200620 yr Set the stator as mentioned in that link. before tightening the flywheel nut up you may find there are a few degrees of slop present between the key, shaft and flywheel. Try turning the flywheel anti-clockwise (keep pressure on kick starter to spin crankshaft in opposite direction) whilst tightening the nut. Otherwise your timing will be advanced beyond what the stator is set to and it wont run so well. Edited February 19, 200620 yr by worldtrialchamp
