yamaha350 Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 has anyone tested difrent ignition systems. i watched a builder test the pvl and the stock and found out some interesting things about the stog ign. Quote
MotulMonsta Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 The dyna outperforms the stock cdi in every aspect. Quote
yamaha350 Posted March 14, 2004 Author Report Posted March 14, 2004 on the stock ignition we tested, it showed at low rpm's it fired one cylender at a time on both sides, like its supose to. as the rpm's increased it would put the spark to one side only. a little higher in the rpm and it would go back to normal. and then again to one side at max rmp. after seeing that i dont think i would ever want a stock setup again. but we only tested one setup, could have only been that system that did it.

PlaynSand Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 350 , Was this testing done on a stock engine or drag ported alcohol burning monster ? I would think that if the stock ignition system is acting as you describe that the system has some thing wrong with it. Does the dyna ignition use a battery source ?? If the stock ignition is dropping out one of the plugs at varying rpms , several things could cause this..... If the dyna ignition is working fine on the same engine it may be masking a problem the stock unit cannot over come. How about some more details. Quote

How many cranks did you go through? Quote
yamaha350 Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Posted March 15, 2004 the guy that did the testing had a banshee crank end set up on an angle grinder with a dial to controll the rpm's. all we tested was one stock setup and 1 pvl setup. for the testing to be acurate we need to test more stock units. the angle grinder would turn up tp 15,000 rpm's, well more than a banshee runs. but the stock ignition came off a running banshee so who knows.

banshee76179 Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 I have Msd ignition I can tell the diffence between it and stock! Quote
Proquad101 Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 I have been running the dyna ignition for awhile now. I had the degree key before I put the the dyna in. I could tell a big difference over the degree key with the dyna. You were asking if the dyna has a battery source, I don't know for sure but I would think it has some kind of a internal battery to remeber the power curves that are set in it. If anybody knows anything different about please let me know. Quote
