Title: Is this an MOTOPLAT STATOR for a 1982 KTM 250 ??
Post by: jurado on November 30, 2011, 06:38:52 am

I have just bough a Motoplat ignition stator from a guy that said to me it was in a 1982 KTM 250. I got it and saw it is for a flywheel turning anti-clockwise. I wanted to use it in a 1990 ktm 500.

As far as I know, the KTM 250s came out with two different Motoplat ignition models:

- the standard MX Ignition: 9600 176-1, with no output for lights

- the MXC Ignition: 0616026, with three wires, one at 6V 35W for head light only.

First one is for a flywheel turning clockwise for sure, and the 2nd I thought as well.

Am I correct?. Did I get an stator not usable for any KTM?

Looks correct.
Mine is 1982 250 MC5.
If it sparks now, then its bullet proof and will last forever.

Thanks for the reply.

The issue is that there is a little arrow close to the hole for timing set, pointing towards the right. This I believe indicates that this stator is for flywheel turning anti-clockwise. As far as I know, all the aircooled and watercooled 250 engines of the 70s and 80s have the ignition on the right engine side and all of them turn clockwise.

This would mean I cannot use that stator. Is that correct?
