electronic ignition

[marco]

Hello all,

I fitted both Staghound engines with electronic ignition systems.
The ignition points and the condenser are replaced with a magnetic "sender" and a receiving unit.

The result was that the engines start more easily now and they idle smoother.

My experience with electronic ignitions for 6Volt systems is that battery and wiring must be in perfect order, otherwise the voltage on the ignition system will be to low to get a spark.
Sometimes, a special ignition coil has to be used.

Electronic systems are quite expensive, and a good rebuild/maintained conventional ignition system will give everything our 60-year old engines need.
