Unknown ignition
Does anyone recognize this ignition? It was on my parts bike and I’m wondering if I should use it instead of the points... but I know nothing about it, there are no markings, and I don’t know how to set it up. Any insight would be appreciated!

Re: Unknown ignition
That looks right! Now just have to decide whether to install it or not...

Re: Unknown ignition
I installed this today, thanks to the instructions that are posted in the tech section... big thumbs up to this forum! I wouldn’t have known half of what to do without the knowledge on here.
It fired right up with the fuel in the bowls (tank and backend were off for clutch work)... idled smooth at 800rpm with no air cleaner or pipes (just headers)... only had it running for 10sec or so... now to get it back together!

Yes... I didn't remove the swing arm, but I did remove the rear wheel and tank.Sidecar Bob wrote:You do know that you can get at the clutch without removing the swingarm, don't you?Flatlander80 wrote:...(tank and backend were off for clutch work)...

Re: Unknown ignition
All you need to remove to work on the clutch is the clutch cover and you can access that without removing anything else.
