Hi All!
My Sonerai is currently equiped with dual ignition. I've got a slick magneto running off the flywheel end as well as a normal stock distributor (that has been shortened somewhat and fixed timing) in the normal distributor location. The thing I don't like is the magneto hanging halfway through my firewall as the Sonerai has the 1835cc VW motor mounted almost right up against the firewall. I want to make a new firewall, but I dont like the hole in the firewall for the magneto. Given that I hand prop the motor to start, I'm wondering about the viability of maybe replacing the magneto with an electronic ignition setup. Question...? What electronic ignition options are available that could run from any location OTHER than the normal distributor location? Would I save significant weight on going from magneto to electronic ignition? How do I get the ignition to fire on TDC for starting and then advance to whereever once the engine's running? Is this whole train of thought worth considering to start with or am I just being stupid now and should live with the hole in my firewall? Any thoughts welcome? Regards Andre Posted to AirVW as well. |
