Zenoah change of rotation

Hi,

What's required for changing the crankshaft rotation on a Zenoah with electronic ignition, is it just a different timing pickup/bracket or is there more to it?

Anyone had experience with counter rotating Zenoah's and anything special that can be done with the prop bolt coming loose like fitting dowels or multi bolt prop hub fitting?

Thanks for your time

Hi

We’ve done this on DLEs and it was just a case of making a new prop driver with the magnet in a different position. Morris James of Morris mini motors did them for us. They were a multi bolt fitting, normal threads and were fine.
I’ve heard people say the Z45 can be run the other way but no idea about any others in the range.
