Luis, congratulations! That is one smooth sounding engine! I was tickled when I noticed that you were using the SDS CPI ignition as well!
Would you mind discussing where you mounted the Hall effect sensor for the three ignition magnets? I ended up drilling three holes into the flywheel and mounted the magnets on the flywheel; to mount the Hall effect sensor, I had to cut a piece out of the flywheel cover and ended up mounting mine basically at the 12:00 o’clock position on the flywheel, bolted into the crankcase (I unfortunately do not have any pictures of this due to having a new phone and losing all my old ones). I’m just curious if you have any lessons learned, or any better ways of mounting the sensor. Now that you are running the CPI, and the magneto drive is free’d up, if you ever encounter alternator problems or desire more amps (more than the standard Revmaster alternator), you now have the option to mount an automotive style alternator; it takes a little bit of drilling/tapping to make it work, but it is a much cheaper (and solid) alternative than purchasing another stator/coil type like Revmaster’s. I have a write up on John Bouyea’s website with a few pictures if you ever run into this problem.
