[QUOTE="eglijim, post: 91646, member: 441"] We have in the past used various bits from Dynatek and am generally happy with the Lucas RITA on my road Egli. The problems start when you need to move the plot to suit Kickstart or Electric starter, Twin plugs and the different max advance needed for different fuels or bored and stroked engines. The thrust of my enquiry is why seek to re invent the wheel when it seems all of the above is readily available without going down the one off route. The Dynatek 2000i ( other suppliers are available with the software at no cost)kit for Harleys'. My understanding is that this lets the user move the advance for the rear cylinder by +- 10 degrees. When we did some dyno work on my 1150 Egli 20 years ago the engine was sensitive to a changes of advance of 2 or 3 degrees so 5 degrees off on the rear or both off by 2/3 degrees would be unacceptable . These ignitions,( Glenn Bewley has a Rapide fitted with the Harley/John Mcdougall version) look as though they happily fit into one of the available magneto replacement castings or maybe one of the old Dolphin twin points mountings. Complete kits are available for well under £150 via ebay or direct from dealers which makes the cost of some other systems nonsense. Would like to know if any are in use and their power consumptions ? [/QUOTE]
