    Note to self: We should be able to fudge the standard CDI unit to run off the battery. http://www.vespamaintenance.com/elec...ork/index.html

    For the Dry Lake Racer, we need a Smaller Flywheel and to save time we have decided to initially go with a total loss system that does not need anything from the flywheel except for a Hall Effect Sensor signal. Since we are making a flywheel, why not a complete ignition system. Since we are making a complete ignition system, why not make it a very cool one!

    Here's what the system will be able to do:

    • have advance mapped against engine revs
    • have 2 mappings (one for each position of the power valve)
    • have knock sensing capability (reduce advance if preignition is detected)
    • vary timing while to engine is running via handheld control
    • detect engine load and also adjust advance

    More details in the subpages and below.


    Complete info on the entire system is covered in kc5442_Programmable_High_Energy_Ignition_System.pdf

    Figure 1 (from the above document) shows an overview of the system.
