My get r done has gone missing on this project.
This system is awesome and great support from Hoos Racing (Hooser)
Did my first ‘long’ ride on my freshly rebuild 277 750 motor with this charge ignition system. Ran flawless. Only issue I had initially is I like to use dielectric grease on the spark plug boots to keep away corrosion and one popped off on a hot day. Changed to NGK caps. I like that it’s basically like a dirt bike magneto, does not rely on or need the battery to make spark. So you can have a wiring fault and the bike will (should) get you home. Iggy parts are crank mounted so not subjected to the intense heat of the cylinder head like ones mounted to cam. Much more accurate and stable timing too. I had a slight ping at full beans so retarded the timing a couple mm from the suggested 41mm sensor flag gap to 39mm. Other than that small adjustment I can’t be more happy with it. It’s expensive but worth it if you want an upgraded combo PMA and ignition set up.
Just found and read my 277 Power Dynamo instructions. Power Dynamo was the old company name for Vape.
The given gap is 41mm in the old instructions.
Try the 43.6mm gap and see what advance you get I am curious .
Perhaps the new owners have changed the outer diameter of the rotor.
Steve - I’m setting up a vape 277 system and my instructions say to set at 43.6mm flag gap. Wondering if there’s different editions with slight changes. Did yours say “41mm” or just decided to start slightly less?
