Hello everyone,

At this moment i'm assembling my 37" 1929 101 engine. 

 The problem is that the magneto gear does not fit right on the axle of the Splitdorf ignition. When i tighten the nut of the gear, the gear is not straight when i rotate it. I'm sure that the axle of the Splitdorf is in alignment. It is also strange that there is just a number "I" on the gear and that the other gears have several marks on it. Does i have the right magneto gear? It also looks that the slot inside the gear, that holds de key, is homemade, not a machined straight line. Is there a difference in magneto gears for Bosch and Splitdorf magneto's? The marker on one of the teeth looks also different if i compare it with the other gears.

Has anyone a good useable magneto gear that is right for a 101 37" 1929?

Thanks for any advise.

Best regards,

Hi Tim,

First of all thanks for you're reply.

I still has the problem without the key. May i conclude that the inside of the gear is worn-out?

Problem solved!

Many thanks to "Indian Ben Huisman" 50 years of experience with Indian motorcycles.

It seemed  to be an Indian maneto gear but not for a Splitdorf. Some people have tried to made a round keyhole in it but not with succes. we've installed the right one from Indian Ben (many many thanks!) and its right.

All of you, many thanks for the advise!
