Make sure the sensor is seated properly before the disk goes on !
I nearly had a disaster 🙂 yeah time with a strobe as static timing with these kits will cause big hassles

I haven't got a magfire, I've got a Pertronix but I imagine they're fairly similar. An important bit you left out was setting the gap between the sensor and the magnetic bit. The Pertronixs kit supplied a thin plastic feeler gauge to set the gap.

thanks mns .hmmmmmmmm, the magnetic disk looks like its not adjustable,it just goes as far onto the shaft as it can.anyone know if the magfire needs to set somehow like the Petronix?
