FW MURPHY MP3298 Magnetic Pickups Installation Guide

FW MURPHY MP3298 Magnetic Pickups

A magnetic pickup is an AC generator. It is normally installed into the flywheel housing of an internal combustion engine. The starter ring gear acts upon it to generate a voltage pulse each time a gear tooth passes the end of the sensor.

Magnetic Pickup Installation

Flywheel Housing
Drill and tap a hole in the flywheel housing (See below for model and thread size).
IMPORTANT: Drilling too deep may damage ring gear teeth.
Blow chips with air hose when drilling and tapping hole.

Set Gap Adjustment

Insert magnetic pickup and turn until it stops at the face of the gear. Back off the gear by turning the pickup counter clockwise 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 turn. See Gap Chart to determine gap distance based on the turn. Check gap clearance by rotating the gear completely around.

NOTE: Magnetic pickup gap should be adjusted so that the minimum voltage required is attained at the engine’s lowest RPM. The voltage will increase as the speed increases. If erratic readings occur, remove the magnetic pickup and check the magnetic tip for metal chips.
