Hiya
When you attach the cable you poke the cable through the end of the housing, then push the end out through the window, push the blade in place with the hole for the nipple in line with the window, hook the nipple into place and then rotate the blade 180 degrees within the housing. Then the nipple on the cable is held in place by the housing.
Can you take a better piccy of the flywheel? So I can see the holes. On the 123 flywheel the holes are blanked off.
Note that VERY early 123 engines had the same ignition as the 127, but think these early ones were only fitted to the Red Rose custom thing
All the best

Hi
Yep, that looks like a 127 flywheel. On the 127 ignition (which has a black coil rather than the blue coil) there is a set of timing marks embossed on the stator. Hence you can check the timing with a strobe light through the cutouts (as the 123 ignition advances with rpm, this isn't really worthwhile on a 123).
The flywheels are hard to find for sensible money so people tend to stick on whatever they can find.
I am toying with having a batch of flywheels made up, just drilled to take the existing starter gear (place has made SEM flywheels before but only for non electric start models, and they are not interested in making the electric start ring gear).
All the best

I guess it is possible it's been changed, although I never had any issues with it starting so can't really see why it would have been. Just one of those things, I've learnt a little bit more, you are a wealth of knowledge ____________________ This restoration is ruining my bank balance! Restoration project - 1991 Aprilia AF1 Replica

It's really bugging me you are using that mankey manifold and plastic covers on that lovely clean engine. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

It's bugging me too! Once up and running I'm thinking about putting the 34mm carb on which will require a new manifold so that'll be sorted. The plastic covers do need something doing with them, but I'm not sure what yet, I guess a spray to match the engine is the best option. ____________________ This restoration is ruining my bank balance!

You'll struggle to get it bob on, it might be worth thinking about a complementary colour instead ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

It's still ongoing, I've done a few bits here and there as and when I've had chance, but it's still a work in progress...
I haven't given up on it yet...one day! haha ____________________ This restoration is ruining my bank balance! Restoration project - 1991 Aprilia AF1 Replica

|
|
So, after a very long break in the project, with several false starts, I've finally got going on the rebuild. With all the bits that I have replaced, I'm not sure
if the project is a restoration or a rebuild, realistically a hybrid of both. This project has been many things for me, but the end product of being able to ride the
motorbike that I bought in 1991 is all that counts.
When I started off taking photos, I wanted to make sure that everything went back to where it came from, but it's evolved into a full-on geek account of what I've been up to!
For those that have followed the project, I hope you'll enjoy seeing the bike returning to how it should be, piece by piece. As I go along I'll try to remember what I've
replaced, and what I've done, so you can see the full picture of what this has taken. Unfortunately I seem to have lost the file with all the costs involved, but it's
been way more than the bike is worth now, and what I paid for it to start with...it's only money, and you can't take it with you at the end!!
