Power consumption, E-ignition vs Points. also - spare advance cam?

(1/5) > >>

Mikep328:
Has anyone performed a test to see the difference in power consumption between running the OEM points system vs a DSS E-ignition (which is on my 400)?  I'm curious about that, suspecting that points would require less power.   

In the spirit of tinkering, on that subject I am looking for an OEM (points) ignition advance cam - JUST the cam that fits on the advance unit.  Anybody in the UK have a spare they would sell me?  DSS has the entire advance unit but I don't want to spend £58+ for that when I only need the cam.  I have all the rest of the OEM system, but I guess when a previous owner installed the e-ignition, he/she tossed the cam or forgot to put it in the little bag with the breaker plate that stayed with the bike.

You might need to check the brand of advancer as the part will be probably be different - there are two iirc one is tec the other is ND I think.

Mikep328:
OK, didn't realize there were two different advance units.  Thanks.

Give Steve a shout, he may be able to help.

 Thanks re Steve!  :) 

 No joy! :-\

I suspect I'd have to buy the new unit from DSS if I want to tinker with points.  But I don't have £58 worth of tinkering in mind for this...
