Re: BSA B50 ‘Gold Star’ 500SS

I realized a made a bit of a mistake. I made a hole through the side- but that means I would have to have very small connectors so snake the cable back through if I need to replace or even take off completely the cover. So I modified so a wide slot- allowing it to pop right off. I will just 3D print...

Re: BSA B50 ‘Gold Star’ 500SS

]To solve the issue of getting both the wires out and stator in middle of adjustment- I modeled and 3D printed a cover with side hole. I do not know how well this particular material will hold up to engine heat- but I could use either high temp nylon if so- or just make it out of aluminium. I could ...

Re: BSA B50 ‘Gold Star’ 500SS

I was mounting the ignition- no issues with the magnetic rotor. But when I tried to install the stator- the only position I could mount it and still (barely) get the wires through meant I would have no adjustment at all. That means I better get it spot on or I have to remove and retime the rotor aga...

Re: BSA B50 ‘Gold Star’ 500SS

This is first one- I made it a bit longer for second to make easier to put a wrench on. First try printing open wrench flexed too much- so I will make an enclosed one I think.

Re: BSA B50 ‘Gold Star’ 500SS

I got the points plate and advance mechanism removed. The replacement rotor/magnet is a taper fit also, so needs to be installed with proper timing. (Or pretty close, I think some adjustment on the plate it possible). Trying to figure a way to mount a degree wheel was interesting. If primary case wa...

Re: BSA B50 ‘Gold Star’ 500SS

Have you had time to install the Vape and try it out? I may have to get one for my DBD 34 as the old mag is in pretty bad condition. I just put the BSA on the lift and ready to start. I had some other things to take care of first. Still going to be a day or two before I really start I think, but cl...

Re: BSA B50 ‘Gold Star’ 500SS

I have gotten several direct also. But they do not have one listed for the B50.
I have one on Benelli 175, Benelli 250 twin, did another for Will on his 250 twin.
All with no battery but full lights.

Re: BSA B50 ‘Gold Star’ 500SS

I think a Vape, ‘by Wassell’.
I don’t think Vape sells one directly. Perhaps has some parts to make fit from Wassell?

Re: BSA B50 ‘Gold Star’ 500SS

I ordered a Vape electronic ignition for BSA.
I’m getting close to having time to work on it again- that was high on the list.
