Ignition dilemma
fisjon:
Boyer gives smoother tick-over, better acceleration, better mpg, better performance. END OF!
All due to a huge big fat bright blue spark always fired a the right time. The Honda points system is like a wet fart (a tiny little yellow putt) compared to the Boyer. If you haven't seen a Boyer spark to compare, you can't make a comparison. No contest. Those of you stating that the points system is better are just harking back to the 70's for the hell of it. Wise up guys. Oh, and maintenance free!
Lobo:
.... just be aware, any electronic sys you fit will likely need a relay including into the circuit: a fatter spark doesn't come for free. The fatter spark will draw a higher current through the system, and my Newtronic H04 certainly recommended this as the Kill Switch was not designed to carry the increased load.
That said, not a big job to include... if you go this route will happily supply a fag-packet wiring diagram.

Hi Norniron,
I'm having 2nd thoughts abouts my statement "Newtronic certainly recommended..." as I've since googled those instructions... and it doesn't! That said I do remember the actual fitting instructions came with an 'addendum slip'.... and it may have been there. Forgive me! Regardless; I have indeed read on other forums, fitting a relay is no bad thing due 40 yr old kill switches / increased current draw on these electronic ignitions... and this is what I have personally done.
Whether you do / don't is up to you, and it may well indeed be recommended by your unit. Bed time where I am... tomorrow will post the simple wiring diag if you're still interested.
The post you were looking for might have been Bodds,
Cheers,
Simon.
