hi has anyone fitted a lucas sr1 magneto on a Indian 350 bullet?

Hi, yes I have one on a 350. It fits with no modifications. You will need the atd although you can run fixed timing on the original pinion. Vince

Thanks Vince, if I use the atd would you know which one?

that will be model 47556







personal i would-end use it with a fixed pinion, a specially on full advance.

you'll won't be starring it with your slippers, cause the eventual kickback will be brutal.

not only for your foot but the oil pump spindle will appreciate it even less.

Our hosts have a non-working SR1 mag **WITH** auto advance unit for sale at the moment (I wouldn't use a SR1 on a bike without one either), is this what prompted the original question? If you want to by one without the mag they do come up occasinally, but not often.

Yep My 350 has one fitted and it has been faultless. Definitely want an ATD with it though. It's very satisfying to put something inside the bump on the timing cover that fits like it was made to go there. It doesnt matter much which SR1 you use asnthey are easily reversible but you do want a flange mount which just goes straight on.

Thank you for all your help I really appreciate it I will give it a go and see if we can get her looking like she should many thanks.
