Ignition dilemma
Erling:
The Hondamans ignition poins is said not to carry high tension current. Thus lasting for ever!
fisjon:
The Honda electronic ignition system on my CB650 was futile so I ripped the whole thing out and replaced it with Boyer. If you see the power of the spark that the Boyer system supplies (it's like an arc welder), you won't want to use anything else.
florence:
I have to favour points, I've always used them and had very few problems.
However, the quality of replacement points is poor these days so if you can find proper ones at reasonable price..........
Electronic ignition is pure science fiction ;D and when it fails it usually fails catastrophically meaning a roadside repair is out of the question.
Johnwebley:
the last electrical failure I had ,a soldered lead came off the rear off the ignition switch,quick get me home dodge,a sharp small safety pin
through the 2 wires to make a circuit,and home to affect repairs,
but,a word of advice,I you fit Electronic ignition,its always worth getting new plug caps,as they deteriorate over time and use,
thats what causes shorting issues in the wet ,also can affect the quality of the spark,
Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Same for me Florence buy decent ones and no problem.Bet all the sandcast and koers owners have gone electronic though yeah in yer dreams
Cheers
