I think some of the boxes have a balanced input that floats free from ground. Some have a one terminal pickup that one side of the coil is grounded to the mounting screws. It's a very electrical noisey enviourment .
Have the system hooked up to my TCI engine and it makes sparks when it is kicked over with the spark occurring right on top of f mark.
I have worked with quite a few igniters and it looks like this one is the Holy Grail. Hope to have my bike running on it and another is being setup on a non TCI bike with a pickup and magnet added.
I think this would work on a PMA generator with a magnet and pickup added.
complete the units and sell them, I will probably one on the list go get one.Yes.... and yes. Only down side for me will be the several hundred bucks lost hoarding TCI boxes. Oh well...
We're still in the R&D phase right now. When it's all worked out, we'll publish detailed instructions on how to mod your bike. Right now we have no plans (or desire) to produce kits. This will all be DIY for anyone who wants to do it.complete the units and sell them, I will probably one on the list go get one.
ny chance this "Gonzo" box could be modified to hook up to a computer and flash your own custom timing advance curves? It amazes me you guys are this deep into this project. Great work!

My box finally arrived. Will be hooking it up hopefully by this weekend and testing it like Jim did.

I apologize for my ignorance but the 1977 xs650 TCI engine?? or will need the modification and add the magnetic??
Also can you post a list of all the materials needed , and some pictures while during the work.
Thank you

Damn you Radio Shack for closing down here.
Not sure what you wanted me to recheck Steve... but I'm glad I did. Here's the new box I checked yesterday... still the same.Jim, double-check your post #442...
I hate people who have much .nicer play prettys than me, I want one
The just barely hack it in Jack's world. I have a decent meter but Not like that fluke. Have been looking at used Simson's.It's from my airplane days. Cheap chinese meters didn't really hack it in that world....

The good news is the box that Steve cut up works and actually having the centertap grounded might kill the ringing of the coil.
The bad news is I've got 2 (supposedly) identical boxes that are wired completely different. That ain't exactly givin' me a warm fuzzy. I'd really like to know what the other boxes look like.The good news is the box that Steve cut up works and actually having the centertap grounded might kill the ringing of the coil.
