Thanks Ron

Re: Magneto direction of rotation

So am I right in thinking I need a plate marked with an R if anti clock wise viewed from points end And a cam marked with an L if rotating clockwise viewed from points end ?

Re: Magneto direction of rotation

As far as I know: rotation is described from the shaft taking the power from the engine, with an arrow indicating the direction on the cover over the clutch. Clockwise magneto: the letter R on the face camplate (usually Norton).
