Please Help Identify this Ignition

Gday Guys

Just wanted to possibly get your help on this. Im getting into the engine on my xs650 and was looking at timing my morris magneto from what i can see when i push down on the kick start the pistons are not parallel with eachother when one is TDC the other is some distance lower. It looks (to me) like its been rephased and ive been told that you cant run a morris mag with a rephased motor.

Do any of you know or aware of any potential modifications i can make to the magneto? (pictured below)

Ive attached photos of the original ignition which is what i will probably have to run now as it was what this bike came with but I dont know what it is from does anyone here at all know?

Cheers
Paul

Saw your post on the Facebook page Paul and meant to reply. I'm pretty sure that ignition is one made by Probe, but no longer in business I believe.
Scroll to the bottom of this page and there is a bit of info on them.

Hi Paulie and welcome,
don't Morris make magnetos for Harleys? I'd suggest you first find out what rephase angle your bike has been given and then contact Morris to see if all your own (presumably) 360º magneto needs is a different cam plate to convert it to the appropriate firing angle.

That is certainly a probe ignition. A high end unit sadly no longer available.
I have information on the installation and setup of the 277 degree rephase ignitions if you need it although the info is probably still out there on the web.


You probably need to verify what your crank has been rephased to as standard, 277 and 270 degree units were made. On the ignition units there are also markings which may help but I cant see all the numbers on the cam pickup (image 2441).

The probe is super easy to set up and some came with adjustable rev limiters and advance curves. Another plus is that it is a discrete modification unlike the magneto.
