I will try bolting and tightening down the rotor to make sure I'm not being a dummy. But otherwise you're on to it. With the stator bolted down on the posts and the rotor installed, the rotor sits 3-4 mm higher than I would like. You can see the coils starting to peak out under the rotor. I bet if I had that mounting plate that I'm missing under the stator, it would have pushed the stator out perfectly. But that still wouldn't solve my problem of getting the motor into the frame. The motor is about 1/4" wider than my ciao frame is and I don't even have a fan on it yet
I'm on the fence about the fan. I'm leaning 80% towards a mechanical stock type fan setup and 20% towards an electric fan above the cylinder. The mini rotor should make plenty of juice if I go electric. I wonder how long an electric fan on a rigid 2 stroke would last though with all the vibration
I am no genius, but I do have free reign over the machine shop at work. That's like 80% of why I started working there

I might do that. It would be pretty rad to adjust the timing with the stator without even removing the rotor
I think I'll take it into work today and make a plan
