INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING
YOUR ARD GOLD STAR CDI MAGNETO
Welcome to the new line of pre-unit magnetos which will fit BSA, AJS and about all other base type mounting for British motorcycles.

Step1) Remove the old unit from engine case by removing the four hex bolts. BSA uses a strap to hold the magneto down. We can supply a strap if requested.

Step 2) Place your new ARD magneto in place with a new gasket and the 7/16 hex nuts which are provided.

Step 3) Timing is done with the taper using your old drive which came with your old engine. The taper hub should not be tightened until the red timing marks are lined up together, and the engine crankshaft is in the correct firing position.

Step 4) Connect the wires from the black box to the secondary ignition coil, with the red wire going to the white wire and the black wire to the ground on the coil core.

Please call if you need any further information.

Note: The circuit which is wrapped in rubber can be zip-tied to any part of the frame. The coil will have to be mounted.

Note: The yellow wire is ONLY for stopping the engine (by grounding it to the frame with a kill button, which is not supplied in this kit). DO NOT connect this yellow wire to any switch with a battery connection, as this will result in damage to the CDI box!

Fine Timing can be done by loosening the two black screws. Turning left or right using one degree adjustment marks on top of the magneto. Then retighten screws.

Timing should be set to same (fully advanced) timing specs as original ignition. If unsure how to do this, please phone British Cycle Supply with your full engine serial number and our tech help department will be happy to do their best to assist.

These magnetos have built in electronic automatic advance. Due to this you must NOT use an ATD (automatic timing device) gear or sprocket, unless it is locked by welding or pinning, to fix the advance in position. BCS can offer fixed advance gears as used on manual advance magnetos in most cases, if required.

Remember, magnetos are totally independent, self generating ignition systems - NEVER hook a wire from a magneto to any part of the rest of the wiring of a motorcycle. If installing an electronic tachometer, contact BCS with details.
