Me coil has sprung...

[Ross]

I have spark again. The engine will now fire up not just turn over. Fitted the Omega Ignition unit I have and this has done the trick.

I can't believe the difference the Omega ignition system has made to the running of the bike. No more rattle from the engine. The timing must have been just off and the new system has corrected this.

I set the advance as per the specs in the instructions.

The engine is that quite I can hear the fairing screw clips rattle. I have not yet put the grill for the fairing back on.

I have now found out that my engine was pinging. How do I know this? It's not making a pinging/high pitched rattle under load any more. When I did the engine swap 2 years ago I thought I had the timing spot on. I would say I didn't. The new ignition system has really improved the performance of the engine too. I get a bit more of a push back into the seat under hard acceleration too.
