Motors For My Clod Project

[Scottgir]

I have 2 Trinity Chameleon 2 motors that I'd like to run in my clod but the problem I have is that those motors have a fixed 24 degree timing. Does anyone know a trick for running a fixed advanced timing motor in the clod?

I've reversed the end bell but it still runs faster in reverse than forward. Is there a way to set the timing to zero on both motors? Or should I just scrap the idea of running the chameleons?

I'm new to clods so just trying to figure this one out.

Does the endbell have two small "notches" that fit into two slots in the motor "can" (sorry if this was a bad description).

If so, you could trim of those two notches. This would allow you to fine tune the timing.

I did this with a GM stock motor a few years ago.

It might not work on all motors though.

They do, I was looking at that actually. The trick is knowing where zero degrees is. Anyone know any tricks?

On the GM motor, there was some small marks on the side of the can. I don't remember if it was 3 or 5. But the one in the middle was 0.

I don't know if this is on the Trinity chameleon. Only thing I know is that the Trinity sapphire has one little mark on the motor can that i think is 0 (if my memory serves me right).
