vented ignition covers?

bergiefe400 · Jun 2, 2008

hi everybody,
i was on the internet and found a website with a vented ignition cover for a husqvana, now i dont know where i saw it, does anyone else know what the website is? would it fit a berg because i think some of the old husqvanas had sem ignitions. it was a normal ignition cover with 2 spouts coming out the top, would you be able to put some fluid in the ignition cover to keep all that cool or not? :idea:

thanks

Here's a link showing how to vent pre 2000 models and can be adapted to 00-03 models also. The Sem ignition stator is very uh ......"delicate", I didn't say P.O.S, maybe I should of.

Vent it if you so desire but a much more practical solution is to have Sparks rewind the thing and make it better than it ever was. No venting required.

In addition to sparks great work, a good idea is to drill a vent hole on the bottom of the cover and seal the cover properly. Means it'll stay dry as condensation can escape. Water crossings are not a problem as the air trapped inside can't get away if the cover is properly sealed. A 3mm hole or so is fine. A smear of vaseline or similar on the stator laminations can help reduce corrosion which is considered one of the causes of sem failure due to expansion.
