Electronic Ignition

Hi Chaps

I was going to fit new points to Hettie on her early spring service but reckon I may go the electronic ignition route instead. I have been told that Boyer is the make to fit, has anyone had any problems with this type or know of a different type worth considering ?

ta in advance

I have used Boyer since about 1978,

 very little trouble,easy to set up,give a really fat spark,

 if you have any cracks in your HT leads,it will find them in the wet

Olright Julie.
I fitted a Dyna system to mine.  There's no extra electronic box to put anywhere,  the only mod I had to do was to run a 12V to the points plate alongside the blue and yellow wires.   

gtmdriver:
I've just fitted the Boyer unit to mine. It works very well with smoother running and a smoother idle.

The hardest bit was finding a place for the electronic box.



Fitting the backing plate was easy once the advance retard unit was removed.



One thing to remember is that with the Boyer unit ALL the plugs fire at the same time whereas with the standard system they fire in pairs. This will wear the plugs faster than normal so it's worth checking them more frequently.

Nurse Julie:
How can all the plugs fire at the same time ?
