Current quality of the Pazon ignition systems.

Pazon has a seven year warranty. I was having upsetting problems with the Mk III's electrical system and Pazon accepted the unit installed 2 years earlier, did a load test, found that that unit was one of a faulty batch that had slipped through inspection and replaced it, no argument needed. The electrical problems were eventually traced to a faulty kill switch. Bike has run well since.

On my bikes I have an effective kill switch.
( something every bike should have).
By switching it on and off a few times, I make the plugs spark just before kicking.
This makes the sleep function a non issue.

Please say more.

Reset time? (No minimum, 3 second, etc)
 
Im using the Pazon ignition too and it’s really neat. Also 7 years warranty…!
I bought it because It came recommended from a person with A LOT of dynojet experience 🤠
 
Surefire for me as Andy lives 40 minutes away , have taken my total unit including coils out for testing back to him after 10 years, still going strong with only the HT leads being changed 12 + years later
 
The Boyer in my MK3 is 42 years old and works perfectly. I have never messed with it in my 20 years of ownership. I did check the timing with a strobe last year and it was bang on, right where Poke's Cycle Shop set it in 1982.
The bike was almost always a one kick starter for about ten years before I replaced the starter sprag.
It idles very nicely and goes well too.
There are much fancier Eis out there with better advance curves and something called " idle stabilization" but I'm not sure these old things actually benefit from any of that.
If I was purchasing a new ignition I would look for one that keeps its timing with lower voltage, although even that hasn't been a problem at all. I just make sure the battery is fully charged for e starting. That's best for spag life in any case. If the battery is down from sitting and I don't want to wait around for charging, then the kickstarter gets used.

I presently have a Pazon and I have been in communication with Pazon on the ignition and its issues. I purchased the Pazon after my Tri Spark died after 10 years. The advance curve on the pazon is not as aggressive as the Tri Spark and robs some mid range because of this. The Tri Spark robs some mid range over something like a locked advance magneto or the fairly short advance on the stock auto advance unit for that matter. However, the Tri Spark is a reasonable middle ground for advance. An aside, my 70 Triumph still has a Tri Spark in it I bought in 2011 and it is a consistant 1 kick bike.

With the Pazon on my Norton I have an odd misfire that occurs at 3500 to 4000 rpm at part throttle and clears up after 4000 rpm. Using another ignition clears this up. Pazon has agreed to honor their warranty and have me send it back for testing and replacement. The issue is the cost of shipping back to them is steep, and close to two thirds the cost of a new one. Pazon tells me that the advance can be improved with other versions of the Pazon and I believe them, if you are looking at pazon look at the more advanced systems they make my personal opinion is the base lower cost option is not great for the Norton.
