Re: Set ignition with pertronix

I find it wierd that the recommended timming isnt the most powerfull one. Any chance of overheating/ burning out the engine? Irs my first aircooled motor ( usually i woukd just keep an eye on the coolant temps).

Re: Set ignition with pertronix

I timmed it by hear because i was in a rush then today brought it back down per the book and my little guy feels much weaker. I went from 12-15mm to the 5mm in the book. I lost 5km/h on top speed and a bunch of torque on the lower revs. Being my first aircooled engine i am worried about overheating ...

Re: Set ignition with pertronix

Read up on them a bit and it seems the later versions have surge protect and reverse polarity protect but not the ignitor serie. Kinda sucks but the haflinger runs and its all that really matters.

Re: Set ignition with pertronix

I adjusted the air gap to 1mm, their spec is max 1,5mm, my coil (milspec, was 3,7). Doing the voltage test from the pertronix procedure ( connect the coil and the pertronix to the battery feed) got my coil to be very warm. I will try it with a new coil. You wouldnt have a part number for that blue v...

Re: Set ignition with pertronix

Pertronix only has generic instructions, id like to see the one that came with the kit. Followed the generic ones and I'm starting to think I might have a bad unit. When spinning by hand the spark jumps around ( sometimes early some late , sometimes 2 sparks or none). I'm putting-the points back in ...

Set ignition with pertronix

Hello from canada, Tonight I tried converting my 1963 mil-spec to pertronix. I don't have the instruction sheet (was left in the rain), I figured since I installed a few pertronix already on 305-350sbc I'd be fine.... How wrong I am. 1.Anyone has a copy of-the install sheet for the mv-121 pertronix?...
