I am thinking of doing some body mods and some electrical mods. I want to build a better front faring for a handsome boy and want to try an aftermarket ign system. I have a MSD 6al sitting here brand new and thought I might try it. Going with an automotive COP for a better spark. Any thoughts?
Why would you do this, you ask? Why the hell not.. Its diffrent and I sitting here at this comp and looking at my to-do-must-try list.

i'm right there with you buddy! I'm currently running my rat project scoot on a 2002 crown Victoria ignition coil. Been using it for almost a year now and no problems!!!

oh it draws 7amps per 1000rpm 0.7A per 1,000RPM... still that's gonna be 4-6A @ cruise at that rate and near 7A max. I don't know that that figure would be correct for a single cylinder though. This is just an assumption, but I'd guess that's probably a figure for a V8 since so many 6A boxes are sold for V8s. Could be wrong, but continuing on with that logic if you take 0.7A and divide it by 8, then each cylinder would require about 0.0875A per 1,000RPM. If the trigger is still setup the same, these engines are wasted spark so they actually fire once on every revolution instead of every other revolution. Then I assume you should double the single cylinder number of 0.0875A per 1,000RPM and it becomes 0.175A per 1,000RPM. Using that figure, cruise RPM would likely be 1-1.5A which is just about the max a typical charging system will support without really draining the battery. Of course that's all just assumption and I may be 100% wrong. I have ran the 6AL, 6-BTM, and Digital 6 before and I do know that when the battery got low from an alternator issue the car sounded like I had the two-step on and would barely get out of it's own way, so a good power supply may be a concern. I know you probably don't have one lying around, but this is probably what I would be looking at if I wanted to use an MSD product on my scoot... www.summitracing.com/parts/msd-4217 |

 Here's another home made crazy mod I came up with. Alcohol injection, or for gas spray to even out the nos dry shot(clear tube in the back)  I'm still tuning it in though. |

I have had that idea wandering around. After all, these are just giant scale model aircraft engines.... That nitromethane fuel is only $25-35/gallon.... Think of the POWER!
Then add NITROUS!
