There is still some uncertainty about which sensor position is which.

They mounted the engine (apparently properly ;-) but ... the 2 sensors were in a box. The 2 sensors

We might have to scope it anyway, to verify crankhome polarity and HALL window position.

Found some metric (M6?) screws, used a washer and an extra female to make it proper length, and mounted sensors in the 2 holes close to each other.

That is, with normal mounting. I will have to check (and document) if I followed the standard (colors: no other difference between sensors), or got it with colors swapped.


Cam-HALL sensor

There are 2(-3) possible cam-HALL setups, with exactly the same function.

I found that ...

Conclusion: my HALL sensor is bad. Maybe I patch the code to allow running without HALL (but I expect bad starting with disconnected HALL, or with HALL that fails to constant open: every 2nd attempt on average). This would be similar to the factory motronic setup, which continues to run without HALL sensor. But with a certain configuration, we could also start up the engine (with 50% chance).

Although I have small HALL sensor, and 1GT101 sensor too, it seems difficult to mount it in a sane way (either on front side wheel or inside distributer). Had the front-side wheel have 5 (or 7 or any odd number would work) spokes, instead of 6, that would make it easier to watch those with a 1GT101 HALL sensor.
