... MSD product?
It seems like it should work with the stock 80+ pick up...
Could be. Would need to hang a scope on the TCI trigger lines, see if the signals are wide enuff for the MSD's "pickup width" requirement...

The CDI was very good on the 2-stroke engines were you have oil/fuel fouling when cold.
Had no idea Pamco closed his doors. MIkes XS is good at copy other products and in most cases it's all junk. I'm personally gonna
use mrriggs toyota,gm hybrid ignition or flame thrower as in this video. Still uses the XS atu but i can deal with that. Gapping the plugs at .060 will definitely yield cleaner combustion.
I believe CDI ignitions have a much faster voltage rise than inductive ignitions, no matter if they are points or electronically triggered/switched.tell me about it ... ...........Lambrettas eh....... tsk tsk
Well, I was not aware of that. Like I said, my Norton Commando/ BSA Lightning/ BSA Rocket 3 riding friend really like the Pazon ignition. Maybe they improved the Boyer design in some way? Just speculating, of course.Pazon ignitions mmmm ....
wonder how many folk realise that a Pazon ignition system is basically just a rip off of a Boyer ignition system the design of which was taken by a husband and wife pair that left Boyer Bransden employment and set up in competition in NZ !. Theres gratitude for you .
well Pazon claim that whilst they worked in the R&D dept at Boyer they helped improve the design but even if they did that design was Boyers property and copyright . i would suggest that is why they set up in NZ where they are probably immune from a copyright action but that is speculation of course.
When I ran an interative electronics Company back in early 2000 I made sure that all my employees signed a confidentiality agreement but it still didn't stop one asswipe from leaving and setting up his own Company in his garden shed and selling my designs to my clients.
the people who are Pazon were contracted to boyer and improved the system, in doing so the improvements would be the intellectual property of the workers unless there was a contract clause..........
Is it by any chance 650skull and you are brothers that were mistakenly separated from birth? It really makes my day reading your responses towards each other.The Husband & Wife were employees not contractors . He claims that he was eventually made a Director of Boyer
Its clear that you know nothing about owning or running a Company .....Employees never retain intellectual property rights over anything they produce for their employers .
Hey Guy's, I love both of you. Please don't get into a pissing contest that 1 of you decides to quit the Forum. I believe the goal here is to keep 40 year old bikes running not determining intellectual property rights .

Some reading here. https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=420326.45In designing an XS650 ignition system is it feasible to use vacuum advance? Is vacuum reliable enough at the carburetors? I am thinking perhaps the use of a pressure sensitive IC. I think that building an electronic ignition using stock points and mechanical advance is a very easy project. Going fully electronic with a microprocessor and a mapped electronic advance is quite a big challenge. A nice simple advance unit coupled with an HEI system as referenced in Grimly's Entry 189 above would be interesting.
engine vacuum fluctuates too much I doubt you'll get a stable enough signal. Fuel injected cars used to use a AFM (throttle flap like a door) coupled with a rheostat to provide a signal to the ECU. I guess you could attach a rheostat to the throttle shaft which would give you a direct indication of air flow through the engine but I'm not sure how you could use that to adjust advanceIn designing an XS650 ignition system is it feasible to use vacuum advance?
