Digital ignition systems

[Papa Lazarou]

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of digital ignition systems?

It seems the two main alternatives are Sachse electronics and Horsepower-there's quite a price difference between the two. Which is easier to fit? Any known problems?

I've previously used the Boyer system on Guzzis with great success.

i am currently testing a new ignition.
the electronics mounted instead of the pickup, it just needs a set of 12 volt coils.

it runs from the battery, but only uses about 24 watt at 8000 rpm, less at lower revs.
it is fully programmable using a laptop, so any advance curve should be possible.
i just fitted it last friday, so cant say much except it runs fine so far.

( i'm not the maker, just the owner of the test mule...)

that seems simple

I run the Sachs system on the supercharged 350 land speed racer,

It has performed flawlessly for me for 4 race seasons so far,,,,

Make sure you use proper coils and you'll get very strong spark ( 35000 volts)

Enough to fire cold running racing plugs stressed with 12 lb of supercharger boost....

Emailed him-he has retired. He suggested Pazon ignitions. There 's a number of UK dealers but none lists Morini. I'll contact a couple.

Hi, PM sent about Boyer, regards Ian

Well, the bike is running again on the NLP replacement coils and box. It seems the instructions meant the diodes in the box were connected up the wrong way. So a digital system can wait.

The carburation is horrible, so that's next.
