biggest problem with the sport jet was the ignition system and over the years they kept trying to get it together, they finaly went to the cdm system and offer an upgrade kit to increase reliabilitiy. just remember to change the flywheel also or your timing wont be right and the new trigger wont work with the old flywheel

i have a sportjet 120--cannot get timing right -can you help me ?

this kit is really expensive unless you modify the flywheel to fit the application . to do this you have to heat the center of the flywheel to release the old trigger sensor magnet . when it cools down clean the surface where the magnet goes, the key to the sensor swap is locating the line or magnetic break that triggers the sensor and aligning it so that when you press it into the flywheel hub it is.054 to the right of the keyway. Now your old flywheel will power the new system, we had to do this because the oldercrankshaft would not accept the flywheel from a newer engine so we simply put the newer magnet on the old style flywheel , now she runs like a raped ape

I am working on a 94 Mercury/Force engine, and the trigger is the one piece unit, does anyone know how I would place the trigger magnet on the flywheel to get the trigger to fire and match up with the timing numbers on the flywheel? Currently the timing light is firing on my chalk marks approx. 195 degrees off. If standing on the spark plug end of the engine, my marks are hitting on my left side between the 7 and 8 o'clock position.

Can I remove the trigger magnet the same way, by heating the center of the flywheel?

Thank You
