it fires a waste spark, like some cars, meaning they both fire at the same time, so you can't get them backwards.

 

 

thanks, that was what i was talking about

if they fire at the same time why is there 2 pick ups on the flywheel?

[swrbansheeboy]

theres actualy only one pickup rides next to the flywheel, there are two nodes on the flywheel.

 

the coil fires both plugs every 180 degrees on the shee, the nodes are set 180 degrees apart to send the signal to the cdi telling the coil to fire both plugs. since one piston is at tdc and the other at bdc it doesnt matter if both plugs fire at the same time.

 

unlike a car/truck the banshee doesnt have a distributor to direct the spark to a certain cylinder so instead it just fires both plugs at the same time to overcome the lack of a distributor.

 

it's actually a pretty cool idea and comes in pretty handy when troubleshooting problems, i wish i could just swap wires on my mustang to determine if one of my cylinders wasnt working properly....
