schliesing 200mx magic eye problems

[AlvinD]

Hi we have abit of a problem. In the middle of a big conifer job atm and weve had problems with the magic eye? Is it possible to clean/bypass it??

is the magic eye the speed sensor try and get one from rs components

If it's the flywheel speed sensor you mean, you can adjust it closer to the flywheel itself. Mine was being lazy in starting the rollers in the morning, I adjusted the air gap and it sorted it. Hope that helps. Have fun with the coni bashing!

How would one go about setting the gap. No idea where to start looking. Lol

[Breezeblock]

i would set the gap to about 1.5-2mm with feeler blade to make sure the eye is working turn ign on and then hand turn over engine and see if the indicator light goes on and off as the flag passes past

Sap and crud may need scraped off the flywheel, my TW used to slow down on the no stress and let the engine die down too much.

A wire brush will sort it.

Some chippers sense off the alternator….

None of them have a magic eye, that would be an optical sensor, what they have is a magnetic proximity sensor and in answer, if the system takes its input from the alternator then no, no "magic eye"
