G'day,

Here's the picture of how to install the magnet in the flywheel, I would
suggest making the hole shallow so that the magnet sits proud of the
flywheel. That will increase the distance between the flywheel and the
Pertronix.

The reason being is that the flywheels are a casting and the one on Double
Trouble's Onan was not true. When John Sharpe and I installed mine I set it
at a tight 0.030 and when fired it up the first time the flywheel hit the
Pertronics. We installed a second unit and IIRC set it at 0.060 away from
the magnet and I flap wheeled the flywheel to make sure it cleared. I
noticed after doing that the vibrations increased. I just had the flywheel
on the Onan checked; it was out of balance and had to be drilled to bring it
back in balance.

Regards,
Rob M.
